Following Max W's comments, I did some experimenting with attempting to enter form data on the PDF web page using different browsers.
Chrome 51 | Edge 25 | FF 44 | IE 11 | Opera 38 | yes | no | no | yes | yes | Allows user to fill in form fields no | -- | -- | yes | no | Preserves field data on saving local file
My findings (tabulated above):
- All browsers allow me to save the PDF locally.
- Neither Edge nor Firefox allow fields to be filled in.
- Both Chrome and Opera allow fields to be filled in (and filled-in forms to be printed) but both fail to save entered form data when the document is saved locally.
- Only Internet Explorer both allows fields to be filled in and preserves entered form data when the document is saved locally.
