This appears to be little more than a PR blurb for some new .pdf software, but it does sound worth a look:
Nitro not only lets people read paperwork scanned in Portable Document Format (PDF) but lets it be annotated, filled-in, or otherwise altered and then saved as files.One thing I really hate about the .pdf forms that government websites sometimes provide is how, if you need to put in more words than the box allows, it just keeps reducing the size of the font until it's unreadable. Maybe use of Nitro allows a way around this?
Adobe's widely used free reader lets people see and print digitized documents but not tinker with them, a restriction that can foil efforts such as filling in emailed or online PDF forms.
UPDATE: here's the link to the Nitro reader site. It does look pretty good and innovative, but I haven't tried it yet.

This is a oversight of the forms designer; not a flaw of Adobe Reader. Another common complaint about PDF forms is that they can't be filled out and saved. That depends on the rights extended by the designer.
Overall, I read too much ignorance about PDF on the Web.
