Enabled Extended Features?

I am getting an error message which contains the verbage "...use of extended features is no longer available..." This is disallowing me from modifying an existing saved document. Do I have to recreate all documents which have this error message?
Thanks, Doug.

"Extend' or "Enable" of a  PDF is accomplished by use of Acrobat Pro or an enterprise level server application Adobe markets.
Cannot do it with Adobe Reader.
Be well...

  • Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader X - Enable Extended Features for Form

    Using Acrobat Pro 8.3.0, I "Enabled Usage Rights for Adobe Reader" for a fillable form created in LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  The following error message occurs when opening this form in Reader X:
    "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    The form has not been changed and as mentioned, I am the author.  Any solutions to allow user in Reader X to fill-in form?  Do I need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X?

    I am having same problem with a 2011 year tax PDF fill in form I JUST got from IRS website.  The actual form is the 2011 8829.
    I can not open the PDF from the web browser or if I save it to my local drive. 
    I have not been able to open it at all ... thus I have made NO changes.

  • This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed...

    I am trying to distribute an interactive order form to approx. 50 recipients with Acrobat X Standard which I purchased recently.  Computer is Windows 7.
    I can go through the form editing and distribution as usual, but when I (or a recipient) opens up the distributed form with Adobe Reader, they get the message: “This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.”
    Oddly enough, sometimes is does work, but 90% of the time it doesn’t.
    And I have another, older XP computer with Acrobat X installed, and it works fine 100% of the time – weird....can anyone help?

    Hi Ken
    We have so many people who have not updated they are trying on 9. I might just have to tell them we can’t support under reader 10.
    Thanks

  • How to enable Extended Features in Reader 10

    I have pdf forms that were created in Acrobat 8 Pro. Users could change the fields on the forms and save them. Our Enterprise has since "upgraded" to Reader 10. Users can longer make changes in the fields of the forms created in v.8 Pro. I have read the solution in this forum to this issue, which is:
    "To Reader-enable a document in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
    Do this as the final step when preparing the document to be sent out."
    However, I do not have File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF. Under the File > Save As menu, I only have PDF or Text, not Reader Extended. So how can I fix these pdf's so users can edit the fields and save them? We have hundreds of these documents we need to edit then save. Many thanks.

    If your menu only says "PDF" and "Text" you're in Adobe Reader, not Acrobat.

    Yes.  I don't have the version you pay for.  I also tried the free version
    of EchoSign.  Maybe that caused the problem.
    Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Extended features getting disabled

    We have two computers in our organization that do not want to send forms to each other!
    We created a form - one user (user A) tried to send a filled out form to another particular user so that he can sign off on it (using a signature field), but this particular user (user B)cannot modified the form at all!
    User B gets this message:
    "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended feautres is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    However, user A can send the same form to anyone else, and they can open it and use the form just fine - no message.
    It gets even better - User B can open other PDFs/forms from other people and use them just fine as well.
    Not to mention - if user A sends the form to someone else (user C) first, then user C forwards the form to user B WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES - it works fine; we don't get that message.
    If you can follow all of that and have any idea what may be causing this issue, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it! Both users have Adobe Reader 9, and the form was created in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. All on Windows XP. The person sending the email is using Outlook, the person receiving the form is using a web based email (but saving the document to the computer first does not help).
    Thanks for the help!

    I'd like to piggy-back on this thread. I am also having this issue and closing and reopening the document until the error message goes away is not a solution.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 for MAC and enabling extensions for Reader. The Reader version our company uses is Reader 9.1.3 for PC.
    As in the original post, it's a single user that continues to have these issues. All the other people that touch these files have little/no problems with this. Tech Support has tried reinstalling Reader and it seemed to work for a few days and now the issue is back. Anyone have a clue on this?
    Here's a screenshot of the error, which is also stated in the original post.

  • Extended features error in Adobe Reader X

    Friends,
    I am trying to fill out some application forms available at the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. I have saved these forms on computer hard drive. Although the forms say that they can be filled and saved on computer in order to make future changes, I am not able to do so. Everything seems fine when I fill out the form the first time but when I save the form and open it up at a later time, I receive the following message in Adobe Reader:
    "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    After this message is received, I can open and see these forms but cannot edit it any more. Due to this, I have to start over from zero in order to make even a small change. Please help me solve this problem. I am using Acrobat X and Windows 7 operating system.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Joe Sekhon

    Thanks very much for looking into this Pat. Here is the link for one of those forms:
    http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5481E.pdf
    Hopefully, when you download it and save it on your computer, fill it and close it and then reopen it for editing, you will get the same error as me. Once again, thanks very much.

  • Sign tools disabled after applying extended features to document.

    I have a form that I need to be able to save date typed into the fillable fields and I also need to sign this document.  I need to sign the document using the sign tools panel, so that I can apply a ink signature and use the Signed. Proceed to Send feature.  This way I can save a flattend copy of the form after it has been filled in and signed.  If I do not enable extended features I am able to use the Sign tools paned, but I am not able to save a copy.  If I enable extended features, I can not use the Sign tools panel and can only sign from the Extended tools.  The problem is this takes away the ability to use the Signed. Proceed to Send feature.  When I click on the Sign tool button I get a warning telling me "The security setting on this document prevents adding and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader." 
    I don't need to use the digital signature feature, I need to be able to have three people apply a ink signature to a form, and then be able to flatten the form.

    I use the forms to document training for 8 people on a weekly basis.  Which is why I need to be able to save a copy of the form.  The document then needs to be signed by the student, the supervisor, and myself.  From there the document gets efiled, but it needs to be stored in a flattened state.  So the Save a copy after the "Signed. Proceed to Send" allows me to save a flattened copy.  On the computer I use to have the form signed I do not have Acobrat Pro installed so I do not have the option of flattening the document by choosing the save to pdf from the print screen.

  • Extended Features in forms become unavailable when sent to other users.

    I'm trying to create an application form that I can email to clients and get them to fill in, save and send back. I'm creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro X, saving as Reader Extended PDF, to enable more tools. Save and re-open the file myself and it works perfectly. However send to another user opening it on the free (fully up to date) Adobe Reader and this message appears:
         "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.      Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I have racked my brains and tried so many different things but nothing seems to work.
    Any help would be amazing!

    This type of thing is often difficult to diagnose. If there's something wrong with the file, Reader will attempt to correct it if possible, which causes the contents to change, which causes the validation of the digital signature associated with the usage rights to fail. The source of the error is often related to fonts. There also seems to be forward compatibility problems, so it is best if you can enable the document with the most recent version of Acrobat, which is currently 11. Without seeing the file it's difficult to say what's wrong.

  • Extended features has changed since created

    I have randonly played around with certificates, certificate import using Certificate import wizard, but thought I had gine back and reset everything.  such with Adobe Reader 9.3.4 , but now can not get my LiveCycle Interactive Forms 9.0  to open with the same design format, pages also missing, even after Repairing Adobe and also uninstall and reinstall.
    The message that appears is "This Document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available, Please contact the auhor of the original version of this document".
    this also appears to not e a correct message to recieve because I have reloaded forms from the source site which previously worked, unlss they are still being downladed in this scrambled format for some reason by Firefox 3.6.10 which was working earlier.
    any ideas helpful - no logs until the dev team comes back on Monday

    It means that additional permissions enabled to perform in Reader actions that Reader does not normally supports will not work anymore. Perhaps the PDF was modified in a way inconsistent with permissions set on this PDF.

  • Extended Features

    Please help me resolve the following, it does not allow me to fill in, fillable forms, the exact same form works on other computers when I send it to them, so the error message is not valid and has got nothing to do with the Author it states the following - This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. please contact the author for the original version of this document.

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?
    How was that document received and saved?

  • Extended features no longer available

    I have created two forms in LiveCycle Designer ES4. I want people to complete them using Acrobat Reader XI so I opened each one in Acrobat Professional XI and saved them with extended features enabled. I then tested them in Acrobat Reader XI before distributing them and found that one worked perfectly whereas the other form generated a message in Acrobat Reader which said: The document enabled extended features in Acrobat Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Well I haven't changed the document at all.  I went from LiveCycle to Acrobat Professional to Acrobat reader. Why do I get this message and how can I get my form to work?

    Thanks for your help, I very much appreciate you taking the time to look at the file. I'm still not exactly sure what the problem is, but I'm glad to know it works for someone. Looks like the answer may be "everyone should use a Mac"

  • How to Update Extended Feature Forms and Keep Extended Features?

    In the company I work for we have a bunch of PDF certificates that our Customer Service department uses, namely for international sales.  Only the Customer Service manager has Adobe Acrobat so she uses Extended Features so the other people in Customer Service are able to update the forms.  The forms were updated for the new year and then saved in a new folder for 2014.  Now people that are using Adobe Reader get an error about the document being changed and so the extended features are no longer available.  I have read that it can be fixed using Acrobat and saving a copy of the form so that the extended features are disabled and then saving it again to enable extended features, but they have over 60 of these documents so that would take a long time to complete.  Is there an easier way to re-enable the extended features?

    Not without spending (tens of) thousands of dollars on an application that can apply these rights in batch.
    60 files is not that much, though. Sit someone down and they should be able to do it in an hour.
    Also, if you upgrade to Reader XI then you won't need those rights anymore, as that version can save filled-in form fields even without them.
