Protected form cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader for IPhone

Hi,
I've created a pdf form in Acrobat XI and password protected it for editing. I can fill in the form and save it in adobe reader, but it cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader in an IPhone. Are there any security settings I can use to protect the form from being edited and still allow it to be completed in an IPhone?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Satyadev,
Thanks to Adobe and you for looking into this issue and responding. While
your team works on expanding functionality for protection, please let them
know that expanding the javascript api in Mobile Reader would be wonderful
as well. I made a search box that looks up towns in a list of over 900
towns to make it so users didn't have to scroll through such a large list.
This function works in Adobe Reader but not Mobile Reader because the
javascript api in Mobile Reader is very limited.
Thanks again,
Bob

Cannot open PDF on Adobe Reader for iPhone

When I click on the file to open in the App it says, "The document has features that are not supported in this version of Adobe Reader". I have ensured that I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader onto my phone. The PDF, "material is copyrighted and does have digital rights content protections on printing, copying and saving", there is no opportunity for me to enter a password or other verification. I can open this file on my computer, and I can also open other PDF's on my iPhone using the Adobe Reader App. Any help would be appreciated as I am trying to access study material for a rigorous upcoming exam, all materials were purchased legally.

Adobe Reader mobile products (Adobe Reader for iOS, Adobe Reader for Android, etc.) do not support DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected PDF documents even in the latest version.
Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for a Windows or Mac computer to open the PDF document instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is it possible to view "Attach File" annotations in Adobe Reader for iPhone 5s?

Most of my annotations transfer well from Adobe Reader XI to Reader for iOS but "Attach File" annotations don't seem to carry over. I would like to be able to attach image and video files and have them function on an iOS device.
Versions:
iOS: 7.0.4
Adobe Reader iOS: 11.2.1
Adobe Reader Windows: XI 11.0.0
It would also be nice to have the same comment tracking functionality that exists in the desktop version. Knowing when and by whom each comment was made would be helpful in the field.

Thanks for your feedback. Adobe Reader for iOS does not support attaching of images and videos at the moment.
We have taken note of both your requests.

Acrobat X Pro Drop-down Fields Do Not Appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Help!

Hello,
I am having a problem getting drop-down fields to appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Basically, I need to create a form that includes drop-down fields, with the end result being a form that can be viewed and completed on an iPad, using the Adobe Reader app. Above all else, the end result needs to be viewable on an iPad.
I created a form using Acrobat X Pro within which drop-down fields work flawlessly. However, when I try to open this form on an iPad, the drop-down fields do not even appear. I have done some investigating on the Web (including these forums) and come to understand that this has to do with javascript limitations on Apple products, but have yet to discover a solution to my problem.
To summarize: does anyone know how to make drop-down fields appear in Abobe Reader for iPad app? Or, does anyone know a workaround in which I could have a drop-down menu (or something similar) in my form and have it work on Adobe Reader for iPad?
Thanks in advance for the help. I took on this project from my boss' boss, so I'd really like to get this done for him.

Hello GKaiseril,
Thanks for the reply. I experienced the issue running the most recent version of the Adobe Mobile Reader app. I'm not sure I can convince the client to use anything else, but its worth a shot.
All I need is a simple drop-down list (multiple fields in the document) with 4 options that the user can select and submit as a form. Is this something EZ Pdf reader can do? Also, is EZ Pdf Reader free? (the reason I ask is I am an Android user and do not readily have access to a iPad).
Thanks again.

FORM CANNOT BE FILLED-OUT AND SAVED?

I want the user to fill-out and be able to save to their computer, without saving over my original. It works fine if the user has acrobat standard 8,but if they don't or only have Adobe Reader, the form cannot be filled out and saved. Only a blank copy can be saved or the form filled-out and printed. Please help if you have a solution. Thanks.

Templates designed in LC accept data input from the users however users need to open these templates in Adobe Acrobat. Users can also use Adobe Reader however as designer you need to enable certain user rights for them to fill the forms like they do in Acrobat. For that you need use Adobe ReaderExtensions server this could be little expensive if you are just doing few forms. This server software is licensed based on number of uses or for unlimited uses. If you can not afford both there are few servers available over net to enable those user rights for a fee. You may Google them.

How to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0

Can you please tell me how to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0 with all the filled details

You cannot buy 8 or 9.
In X (10 - which you can't buy either), you can do File > Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features.
Important notes:
1. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Once rights are added many kinds of editing are permanently locked out.
2. THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS on the number of people who can save a form. Details in the EULA: check it carefully (or have a lawyer check it).
Also note that Reader XI can save forms with no special preparation.

When will Adobe Reader for iOS support Livecycle XFA forms?

Adobe Reader for iOS currently does not appear to support XFA forms created through Livecycle. Although it supports some field types, the HTTP submit and Email submit buttons don't work.
Being able to email the completed form ready for someone else to submit would be a work around, however when attempting to 'share' a completed form and send it by email the form is blank when saved and opened in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a PC.
We are getting more and more requests from ipad users who wish to use our forms, and it seems that some other paid-for apps claim to support this. Seeing as Adobe Reader is the industry standard product for using PDFs could we have more support for pdf forms please?
...or at the very least, a product roadmap with some dates for when this might be available please?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Unable to enter login information to a password protected ebook on my Nook HD+ using adobe reader.

Unable to enter login information to a password protected ebook on my Nook HD+ using adobe reader. Would anyone be able to assist me as I am unable to get any help elsewhere and I need to be able to access this ebook for school.
Thanks

Yes, I have contacted my school and they stated they do not support Nook. I called Nook and they said I would have to deregister, etc. as they are unable to determine what is wrong. I tried to pull the document on my phone now and have not been able to do so. I read the "Getting Started" and it states I should be able to fill out the form, which would be to provide my login information, but am not able to do so. Maybe this has to do with the android part. Thank you for providing that information as I did not even think about trying my phone too. So as this did not work on there, my last conclusion is that it would now be the Adobe issue. Hopefully this can be fixed as I need to read my document for school and would hate to have to sit behind my computer and not able to take my Nook or phone to read elsewhere.

PDF Form Requires a newer version of Adobe Reader

New at this...Created my form in Live Cycle 8.0/Professional 8. Throughout company we are using Acrobat Reader 7.0 and are not at this time looking to upgrade. When our users open this form, get "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader..." and prompts them to upgrade. Is there anyway I can get rid of this message...a way to make my form know that users will be opening in 7.0 and accept without error?
Also, I'm not able to get the Submit to Email button to work...getting "This operation is not permitted"...how can I fix?
Funny thing is I had been able to get the e-mail button to work at one time, but now, all of the sudden, it doesn't want to work...even on my machine which has Live Cycle/Professional 8 loaded?????
Thanks!

Geo,
Thanks for the quick response. Tried and received: "This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.
Help...thanks again

Designer form prompts Reader X error:"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader"

I have a PDF form that was created using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. PDF version 1.6, so it's good for Reader 7.x and above.
When someone using Adobe Reader X tries to open the form, they get this javascript error message:
"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader. Without a newer version, the form may be displayed, but it might not work properly. Some form elements might not be visible at all. In an internet connection is available, clicking OK will download and install the latest version."
Is there anything I can do to the form that would make this error message go away? Is this a know issue with Adobe Reader X or Designer?

Is there any code running on the form?
Reader X has come out with additional security features that must be disabled to get any PDF form w/code to work.
Open Adobe Reader X --> click on Edit --> Preferences. Under the General Category, uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" (last checkbox in the dialog box). Click OK and try to open your form.

I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAC (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK)

I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAX (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK

This seems to cause a certain amount of confusion. Your Adobe ID is not used to download or install Adobe Reader.
But when you install any software you are likely to need your own computer's administrator password. This password was chosen by you (or someone) the first time the computer was switched on, and is used to protect the system against bad things.

After creating a form from an existing document, viewing it in Adobe Reader for Android only shows the form fields, and not the document behind it.

Using an existing PDF file to create an editable form that I can update on my tablet as I go, but when I open the file on my tablet (using Adobe Reader for Android), it only shows the blue editable fields that I've created, but not the actual form that's supposed to be behind it. However, it views properly on my PC. Am I not saving it out correctly?

Please share the sample file with me. I am sending you instruction via private message.

Anoop

Cannot add 2nd comment using adobe reader xi

Having issues adding a 2nd comment to a pdf using Reader XI. I can add comments once, but the file seems to get corrupted once the pdf is made and saved. When I go back to it and put in comments and go to resave it the file says that “The file may be read only or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder”. When I go to delete the file it goes away but when I go to save the file which I put under a different name and try to rename it to the original file it says it already exist. So when I leave the directory and come back in the old file is there but now is corrupted and I cannot do anything with it.

Hello,
Do you see the same problem with all the PDF files? I would suggest to update Reader -Adobe - Adobe Reader : For Windows,
Please download the latest version.
