Saving a .pdf Created in Flare9 as Reader Extended PDF

When I first installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro and built .pdfs from Flare, I was able to save the .pdf with the "Reader Extended PDF" function. Now, that capability is no longer available and in order to access this feature I must save the .pdf and open X Pro, open the saved document and save, again, as X Pro. However, the actual commenting feature seems to be "hosed," and, in my capacity as a technical writer, this has gotten a bit frustrating. Is there something in the properties of X Pro that I need to reset? Thank you.

Not sure I understand the isssue. How were you building PDF files from Flare and getting a "Reader Extended PDF"? Was this a menu or option in Flare? For Acrobat it's always been either Save as [Extended Option], Send for Shared Review, or LiveCycle Reader Extension Server to get an Extended PDF file. Also, if your users have Adobe Reader XI, they can comment with Sticky Notes and Highlighters by default now.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF created in Livecycle with Javascript functions built in

Afternoon
I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality. I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF. The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made. The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
I am using Adobe Pro XI.
Thanks in advance
Ben

At the moment I can't sorry. I've run the Javascript debugger in Adobe Pro and it seems there are some errors

Basically the form has been built in Livecycle Designer and have drop down menus that show or hide tables depending on the selection but when I Reader Enable the form and users make a selection and then save the form it is not showing the table when it is opened again.
I appreciate your help

Errors in creating Reader Extended PDF

Cannot create Reader-enabled pdf in Acrobat XI, version 11.0.07, on PC. My co-workers on Macs have no issues. I've created a form in Acrobat with several dropdown menus for the various fields. I save a backup copy so that I can go back to the original file to edit as necessary. From there, I select File > Save as other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable more tools. From there I receive a pop-up titled "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" . I select "Save Now". I then navigate to the folder where I want this file saved, and update the file name. Acrobat then saves a file in the correct location, with the correct name, but gives me an error message to the effect of "Reader Enabled version could not be created". No reason why, just didnt' do it. In fact, when I open the file in Reader, all the fields are gone, and there is an error message explaining that the Reader Usage rights have been changed".
Help?

Hi mtokarz52129,
Does the issue occur with just one particular file, or are you able to save others without error? If it's happening consistently with all PDFs, I would suggest doing a repair of your Acrobat installation.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Form underlines all become solid boxes when saved as Reader Extended PDF

I create a form with Live Cycle Designer ES2.
My firm prefers underlines, not solid boxes, and not sunken boxes.
Underlines.
The form looks good, but as soon as I save it in Acrobat Pro X as a Reader Extended PDF->Enable Additional Features, all the underlines automatically turn into solid boxes.
A co-worker creates similar forms purely in Acrobat Pro X (NOT Live Cycle); none of his underlines ever morph into boxes.
The general opinion around these parts is that the boxes look hideous.
Is this normal behavior? Why does it only happen with forms created in Live Cycle?
What can I do to keep the underlines I spent so much time creating in the first place?

Thank you for the info, George. I have posted an example on dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyiudku6pqm3kxf/rehire%20packet%20rev%20Mar%202013%20%28full%203 a3%29.pdf
I'm getting closer to resolving as at now text can be entered in non-signature boxes. Given who will be completing these forms I'll stick to e-signature rather than digital. Do I use a different form field for those or does the recipient plug that in from the Sign section in Reader?

Reader Extended PDF not working for some users

I've created a document in Adobe X Pro and saved it as a Reader Extended PDF with Enabled Commenting & Markup. Most users are having no problem adding comments (by attaching a file) but I have a few users having issues (one with Adobe Reader 9 for Mac and one with Adobe Reader X for Windows). They are seeing the bar at the top telling them they cannot save data in the form, and they do not have access to any of the commenting or markup features.
Thoughts?

Which web browsers are they using to download the PDF file? If you send them the Extended PDF file via email are they able to connect to the Shared Review?

Can't open a reader extended pdf in IE

I have a form that was originally a word document and then converted to a pdf. I used Acrobat X Pro to create form fields and then saved it as a reader extended pdf with enabled additional features. I uploaded it to my web server and it opens fine in Google Chrome & Firefox, but when I try to open it with internet explorer I get a Runtime Error! message.
I uploaded it without the reader extended features and had the same result. I then uploaded the original converted pdf before I added the form fields and it opens fine in internet explorer. I am using Windows 7 and IE 8. I checked with someone using XP and IE 8 and they were able to open it with no problems. Not sure about Vista, but it seems there is something with Windows 7 using IE 8 and the form fields that is causing the problem. Can anyone help?
thanks

i forgot to add the links to the pages.

Form Creation in Acrobat X Pro - unable to save as Reader Extended PDF

I am using Acrobat X Pro on the Windows 7 OS. I have created a document in Word (Office 2010), saved it as a PDF and added form fields. When I try to Save As Reader Extended PDF, the options are grayed out. How do I create a form from a Word document that allows all end users to be able to type in the fields, use a digital signature, save a copy and print the PDF with the completed fields?

In create the document in MS Word and save the file. Then I select print, and choose Adobe PDF as my printer to save it as a PDF. I then open the PDF file and select Tools, Forms, to create the form and add fields as needed. After I'm finished, I attempt to "Save As" and try to select Reader Enabled PDF, but the options are grayed out and unavailable.

Save file for Reader Extended PDF

I created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro for a Customer who is using Reader 7 and they are unable to save text that they type in the form...which is the whole point of the forms they needs.
I've done some research and it all says that I need to save my form as a Reader Extended PDF, but that isn't an option when saving my files (and my form is closed for editing).
The only options I have under save as are as follows: Adobe PDF Files; Adobe PDF Files, Optimized; Encapsulated PostScript; HTML 3.2; HTML 4.01 with CSS 1.0; jpeg; jpeg2000; Microsoft Word Document; PDF/A; PDF/E; PDF/X; PNG; PostScript; Rich Text Format; Tables in Excel Spreadsheet; Text (Accessible); Text (Plain); tiff; XML 1.0
I'm sure there is something that I'm missing, and if someone could help point me in the right direction I would be very greatful, as would my customer.
Thank you in advance,
Tiffany

That worked, but now I'm having a different issue. If you know why that would be amazing. As stated before my customer is using Acrobat Reader 7. When they open the file they are getting an error message, but after cliking ok are able to open it and type in the document. When they save the file and open it back up the text is still there, but the form aspect of the file is gone, and it's just a normal PDF. They need to be able to use the form multiple times in case information changes they need to be able to edit it. Does she just need to upgrade to another version of reader?
Any insight would be appreciated.

Why are calculation functions lost from Reader Extended PDF when downloaded from website?

I am creating PDF forms with most fields performing calculations. I am saving the forms out as Reader Extended PDF> Enable Additional Features. When I email the form there is no problem with the person using the form, all calculations work. The person is able to save the form and all info is present.
However, when the same file is posted on a website with a clickable link to download, once downloaded, all the calculation functions are missing from the fields. Additionally, when the user fills the form out anyway, the info in the fields is invisible.
I am on a MAC OS 10 using Acrobat X Pro. The majority of the people going to the website and using the forms are on Windows. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you're actually using the Preview application when viewing the form on your Mac. It does not support JavaScript, which is how the automatic calculations are implemented. It also corrupts forms when it saves them. A result of this corruption is when the form is subsequently opened in Acrobat/Reader, the fields are blank unless a field has the focus. For more information, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

Reader extended PDF issue

Hello,
I have a problem with reader extended PDFs. The situation is as follows:
I made a PDF form in Lifecycle Designed ES2 with a dynamic table, saved it, opened the form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and
saved it again as a Reader extended PDF and now a weard thing happened: Acrobat has created 2 new rows in the
dynamic table which are now corupting all my scripts.
Any ideas why Acrobat is doing that how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have had this happen and it turned out to be one of my binding expressions was wrong, I had one field that wasn't binding to the row correctly so it generated another row for it.
Are you using "use name" binding?

Reader Extended PDF, Enable More Tools (includes from fill-in & Save)-

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI version 11.0.6, I scanned a document to PDF and added a digital signature. I saved the PDF. I then reopened the PDF and saved it with a different name as follows:
Save As Other…
Reader Extended PDF
Enable More Tools (includes from fill-in & Save)…
When I email the PDF to be signed, the recipient opens the form in Reader XI, but immediately gets this message: "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."
This document was not changed; it was sent as an email attachment right after it was saved with extended features.
What is the fix for this?
I am using Window 7 Professional (64-bit).

I have done it both ways. If I create a new form from a PDF, it will not allow me to save it directly to extended features. I have to do as you said: save it, close it, and reopen it to save it as extended. Just adding a digital signature will allow me to save it directly with extended features. I have, however, done it with the save, close, and reopen method as well.
The weird thing about all of this is that the person setting in the next office, running the same version of everything, has NO issues with this. Maybe it is a Windows setting???

File Save As Other Reader Extended PDF Enable Commenting & Measuring GRAYED OUT

I have an PDF form created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 10.0.
When I open in Reader, All the "Sign" options are grayed out.
Under "Properties" Signing is allowed but Commenting is not.
From all I have seen, I hope that allowing Commenting will allow me to use the sign features.
The only solution I'm finding on the internet is below:
File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting & Measuring
It is grayed out in my (latest version of) Acrobat pro.
**Is there a way to make this option available?**
**Will this even solve my problem?**
**Is it possible that it is impossible to use these features on this document?**
At this point, I've spent about two and a half hours on this issue and haven't been able to find a solution. Very frustrated.
Thanks.

Thanks. I'm not an IT person and needed that lead.
In the end, I just printed to Adobe PDF and then was able to use the commenting options (once I had flattened it). For those who might come across this - this is one of the only ways to flatten a XFA PDF.
