In order to create fillable pdf forms that can be filled by non-acrobat applications like Reader or Preview, they need to be saved in a special format. This format precludes even Acrobat from accessing those fillable fields, without first saving the form as a standard pdf. It's a catch 22. Make my forms universally accessible and lock myself out of them, or else make them so that only Acrobat can fill them. Thanks Adobe!
