Downloadable forms
All I need access to is the ability to download a form that has been completed on my ipad. With the old Adobe Acrobat I could have a client fill out a form and then share a flattened copy that would then be downloadable to Google Drive, my iPad, or Adobe Cloud. I can’t seem to be able to do this. (Even after I switched the share flattened copy toggle) This is really frustrating, because being able to do this one thing looks like I have to upgrade to a $24/mo. plan... I use this feature between 1-3 times a month. That’s such a waste. Please help me figure out a better way. I really dislike that this function was taken away from your new - “upgraded” platform.
