I know older versions of Adobe reader did not allow you to save it. I thought I heard that the new reader will let you, but I am not sure.   Foxit PDF reader will let you save form fillable PDFs. It is free and you can open multiple PDFs in the same window and have tabs running across the top for easy selection. During installation you need to uncheck the addition of some third party software like the Java updates have, but it is easy to do. I use Foxit PhantomPDF Standard and like it quite a bit. It makes form fillable PDFs much easier than Adobe.   I totally hate the Adobe form creation. You can copy and paste without the controls being linked in Foxit PhantomPDF Standard. Adobe Acrobat, you have to unlink all the fields you copy and paste by changing the name so they don’t share the same value. In Foxit PhantomPDF you can do tab order by right clicking on the first field of the page and select tab order on the menu. You then just left click through in the order you want the tab order. I actually find I don’t need to set tab order as I copy and paste controls in the order I want the tab order so it is in the right order when I am done. If you copy and paste a bunch of controls at the same time, the tab order is preserved.

This will cover up the old text. Then set the default value to the name you want and make it read only.
