the reader plug in can handle forms, that is, you need to run the reader in 
a web browser (currently only windows and linux readers have proper form 
plugins)

each version of acrobat has its own small upward incompatibilities in form 
handling and widgets, but that can normally be handled by updates in the 
tex macros
