You can assign form rights to pdf document with following software:

If you're using regular Adobe forms (not LiveCycle), then you would do this:
Advanced > Extend Features in Acrobat Reader

Thanks bkl -
What i am trying to do is have my PDF form - which has an associated javascript read an XML data file and fill out the forms fields on the PDF form.
This is a very easy thing to do using Acrobat -
It already works, etc - and is a great time saver for us - but it would be most excellent if the dataLoad button which calls the javascript (which is a trusted script) would also load the
data into the form.

Oh, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the experts to weigh in. I'm just a novice myself & wouldn't be able to help you with this. Sorry.......

As far as I can see Acrobat does _not_ grant form rights. It grants the rights to save, sign, or add comments. I believe the LiveCycle product mentioned is the one (don't assume that it is only for forms made with LiveCycle Designer!)

Are you Importing XML data into Adobe Acrobat, or LiveCycle?
Do you need the users with Adobe Reader to be able to save the form to their workstation?
Do you plan on submitting the PDF forms and emailing, saving or storing the data?
Try FDFToolkit.net, iText (JAVA), or iTextSharp.
FDFToolkit.net uses iTextSharp. FDFToolkit.net can import, export, parse, merge XDP, XML, XFDF, FDF data with Adobe Acrobat and LiveCycle PDF forms. FDFToolkit.net works with Visual Studio .net platforms, such ASP.net 1.1 to 4.0, and languages such as C# and VB.net. FDFToolkit.net is not a COM object, it is a Pure .net Library, so there's no server installation required. It will work on local and remote servers, as well as workstation applications. FDFToolkit.net comes with 1 year of free technical support and updates.

The Import is for online review and verification only - the user simply loads the data and reviews it, visually, for various things and then, if all is well, will print the current image as displayed that is all .

Can ITextSharp be used ot read an existing PDF file (in this case it is a governmental form) and allow me to update the fields ?
I was under the impression that iTextSharp would simply allow me to create a PDF - but this is a bit more than that.

iTextSharp can read and populate both Acrobat and LiveCycle PDF forms. However, you may find it hard to find the actual code that will work for you.
I created FDFToolkit.net, for a .net alternative to Adobe's FDF Toolkit. FDFToolkit.net does everything you need. Reads both types of PDFs, and creates and edits FDF, XFDF, XDP, XML, and populates or merges data with both types of PDFs.
Note:
You can not send an XML file to the browser and load a PDF, you will have to convert it to XDP for livecycle, or FDF/XFDF for Acrobat PDFs. I recommend FDFToolkit.net, because, it can convert your XML data to FDF,XFDF, or XDP data formats rather simply.
There are plenty of examples on our site, but, if you need some custom example, I would be happy to help.
