Can I set up a review process in LiveCycle? Is what I want to do, at all possible? Anyone chime in.

Question

What is the best way to set up a review process, without violating the EULA and having a form that is editable by the end user AFTER it is submitted.
Basically the process will go like this..
1. A user will log onto our website and click a link where he or she downloads a dynamic form.
2. The user will submit the form to multiple parties at once. (Conditional e-mail, depending on what sections in the form are filled out, different people will get the form)
3. The form will get reviewed, and if any changes need to be made, the person that originally filled out the form will need to get it back and make the necessary changes. (The forms are long, so they can't start from scratch).
4. After the changes have been made, the form will be re-submitted for final review.
5. After the form has been finalized, the completed form will be distributed to about 80 people within the company (attached to an e-mail or something) and these people will use the data within the form to populate what they need to.
Additional information:
-I am the only one that has Acrobat 9 Standard OR Professional.
-Everyone else has Reader only
-The forms are dynamic
-They have to be posted to a website
Is this at all possible? I can't figure out how this can be done.
I hope that was clear, please ask if you have questions.

Hi,
You can Reader Enable a form in Acrobat v9 Standard, however note the EULA with the restriction on 500 unique recipients. If it is going out to less than 500 you are not limited to the number of data processes that you undertake on the form.
See discussion here on Reader Enabling a form: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
You would need to Reader Enable the form before you put it up on the web page.
You can script a regular button to submit the form to user-entered email addresses. See here: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ. The first email button could be used to send out the form for review. The last section in the form could be a text field to allow reviewers to add comments and a second email button that would issued the amended form back to the originator for further action.
Both email buttons would get their email address(s) from completed fields in the form. In addition the email submission can be set up to return the PDF form and not just the data. IF the form is Reader Enabled then users with Reader will be able to complete this action.
Hope that helps,
Niall
