The free Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view and print fillable PDF forms. It does not allow you to save a form to your PC once you have filled them in. You must have Adobe Acrobat Writer (Acrobat 9 Standard $299) software installed on your computer to save completed PDF forms for future reference or to send as an attachment to an e-mail. An option is to download the free Foxit PDF reader from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/. It will allow you to save your filled out forms. You can also use the previous version of Adobe Reader 8.1.3, but with both Foxit and Adobe Reader version 9, you will have all available options.
