    Version 30.1 appears to be the last one that allowed the form fields to stay.

    I was way off. It looks like it was the 2023 Ai update that suddenly began removing the form fields.

    It may have been the 2016 update that removed this capability. I will confirm and get back to you.

    Thank you SO MUCH!

    This is a video of what's happening.
    I believe the 2013 Illustrator update was when this feature went away.
    The form fields used to stay active and filled in when simply editing and saving a pdf in Illustrator. If one did a "save as..." the fields would disappear, which was to be expected, but the way it works now is causing a lot of problems.
