Security matching between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader

I've created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro that requires information to be filled out in boxes as well as signatures to complete the form. I've tested the form on different computers that bring it up in Adobe Reader. I'm trying to make them compatible. My Security options on Pro for the document show that everything is allowed (printing, changing the document, signing, etc.) but when it is opened up in Reader it shows most of those as Not Allowed.  I need to change that but I'm not sure how. I need the form to be compatible for Reader so that others can fill out the information needed and then submit via email back to me. Please advise on what to do to make that happen, if possible. I need details! Thanks!!

You can enable certain features in Reader, such as digitally signing and saving, by Reader-enabling the document in Acrobat. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

  • NVDA and JAWS won't read doc in Acrobat Pro and Free Reader correctly!

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to create 508-compliant, accessible PDFs.
    I first created the doc in Word, and, using the Acrobat tab, created a PDF for accessibility purposes, and it prompted me to save it as a PDF. I entered the name and saved, and it automatically opened the PDF version of the doc in Acrobat Pro with the "Make Accessible" tool bar open on the right-hand side.
    I went through the reading order and tagged and organized everything to be in the correct order, and then I filled in the Alt Tags for images/figures. Then I had the system perform an accessibility check. It told me the tags would need to be checked manually, as do the colors, and the title was missing. (I had entered the title and source info, etc. into the document's properties, in accordance with an Adobe Acrobat article I'd read on creating accessible docs. I don't know why the title wasn't being noted.)
    I tested the doc's accessibility with the Adobe built-in reader, and it worked perfectly- everything was read in the correct order in which I'd tagged it- including the alt tags!
    When I tried opening the doc in the free Adobe Reader, however, it wasn't read at all. I then opened my screen readers (one at a time)- JAWS and NVDA- and neither one would read the document, unless I clicked the cursor on a particular part of the text, etc. I need this to read the document- in its entirety- automatically!
    Please help!!

    Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
    BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
    It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner.  Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

  • Installed Acrobat Pro and uninstall Reader does not work defaults back to Reader

    I've installed Acrobat Pro, after installing Acrobat Reader.  After I uninstall Reader and click on a PDF file, it automatically opens it in Reader.  I've clicked Acrobat 9 as my preferred software, but next time, it reverts back to opening in Reader.  I'm using a lenovo Yoga laptop with Windows 8.1.

    Thank you very much for your reply.  This didn't work.  As you can tell, this is not a high priority for me, just annoying that I have to uninstall Reader every time I open a PDF.  It will open in Acrobat after that, 'til I shut down my laptop.
    Here's the order:  I installed Acrobat Reader.  Then I installed Acrobat Pro.  Then I uninstalled Acrobat Reader.  But when I click on a PDF file, it reopens in Acrobat Reader (I don't use Microsoft Reader - at least on purpose!)  Somehow Acrobat Reader is not completely uninstalling and reactivates.  Our computer consultant tried to fix it, but couldn't.   He said he thot some of his research showed this was a problem in Windows 8 and 8.1?
    I just tried going into Programs in the Control Panel and Acrobat Pro 9 only shows Uninstall/Change, not Repair.  However, I clicked through and got to Repair.  Tried that (which I've actually done before) and still didn't work.

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

  • What is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?

    what is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?What are the procedure to download a Acrobat reader?

    Good day,
    Adobe Reader is a free application we offer for viewing and printing PDF files.  Many years ago, it was known as Acrobat Reader.  You may still see some users refer to Adobe Reader as 'Acrobat Reader'.  Old habits are sometimes hard to break!
    You can download Adobe Reader by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

    http://www.howtogeek.com/120277/how-to-install-flash-on-the-nexus-7-and-other-jelly-bean-devices/
    You do not need a Beta channel build of Firefox (which currently is 32.0b6) to use Flash as the issue was you needed Firefox 27.0 or newer to use the old Flash 11.1 plugin on Android '''4.4'''. after it came out on tablets/phones.
    What Nexus 7 version do you have as there was a 2012 and a 2013 model. A easy way to tell if it is a 2013 is it has a camera on each '''back''' and front while 2012 only has one on front.
    If it is the 2012 then it has a Nvidia Tegra 3 so the old Flash 11.1 Plugin is disabled.
    For reading only as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum or for "me too" comments.

  • My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0.

    My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can no longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0. Apple dosen't let me download Safari 5.0; so what do I do. The bank had me download Chrome, and I can now download my statements. but what a pain. Any suggestios?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader 9.4.4 to 9.4.5 Updates Fail

    I was unable to get a satisfying answer via phone support, and after connecting with a supervisor, I was disconnected. So here goes...
    (Mac OS X 10.6.8) Adobe Updater 6  began notifying me recently that updates were available for Adobe Reader from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
    Adobe updater soon notified me of the need to update my Acrobat Pro from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Acrobat Pro application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Acrobat Pro and check for updates again."
    When Adobe updates its software, I shouldn't have to "reinstall" old software and "check for updates again" in order to install the update. Surely Adobe can offer a more direct, convenient way for customers to update their licensed software?

    I agree with rikbarry - I finally reinstalled Acrobat, then ran the 
    update to 9.4.5. The updater took nearly an hour to finish which can't 
    be normal, but the software appears to be the correct version now.
    I work for a very small graphic design company and use an older emac 
    that has pretty much reached its shelf life for many apps and OS. 
    Could my aging computer be contributing to the problem?
    Because we depend heavily on pdf workflow, I chose to reinstall 
    WITHOUT running the uninstaller first, as the 9.4.4 version was at 
    least still functioning. I was somewhat surprised that it worked, and 
    I am NOT looking forward to the next updater.

  • I just purchased a month to month subscription for Acrobat Pro and I am getting an error when I try to download the software.

    I just purchased a month to month subscription for Acrobat Pro and I am getting an error when I try to download the software. after about 50% of the way, it just crashes.
    Thank you,

    I am having the same problem - the install crashes around 40%. 
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.2 and purchased Acrobat Pro monthly subscription.  The error message is: 
    'Acrobat installer has encountered an unexpected failure.  Please try again.  If it continues to fail, contact Adobe support.'
    I have tried several times but keep getting the same error message.  Any ideas?
