What matter with a pdf  with Reader Extensions when it's open with Acrobat profesional?

Hi all
I'm trying to learn about the functionality of LC using Tour de LiveCycle. It is an exceptional documentation!
I'm taked the 2 examples about reader extensions functionnality:
PurchaseOrderExtended.pdf and PurchaseOrder.pdf
I've open PurchaseOrder.pdf with acrobat profesional and...I could insert comments, save as, signed the pdf...
Opening it with  Acrobat Reader this is not possible
Then
If the company decide to produce a PDF with the "1, 2, 3" funcionalities of reader extensions but not enabling the "4 and 5" funcionalities.....
Someone that opens this PDF with acrobat profesional has the "1,2,3,4 and 5" functionalities available
Then
The  functionality strategy of the company based on the pdf it's not operative!
Where is the mistake?
TIA

There are two possible philosophies for Reader Extensions:
1) That it is a scheme to limit the the actions that one can take on a PDF; think of this as a sort of a security profile operation
2) To provide PDF-based access to capabilities on the PDF without having to buy the full Acrobat Standard/Pro.
Reader Extensions is much more model 2 than model 1.  The goal is to allow people to save filled-in forms, sign pdf or comment on the pdf without having to have the full Acrobat std/pro licensed for their desktop.  So two other things derive from this:
a) That people who have the full Acrobat version should be able to do anything to the file that they desire
b) But also that they should be aware of actions that they might take on the PDF that would change the file so substantially that it would lose its rights and the ability of downstream Reader users to act on the file.
This (2, and then a and b) is the basic philosophy of Reader Extensions and Acrobat.

  • Distributing .pdf as Reader only (can't be opened in Acrobat)

    Q1)  Is there a setting that lets me save my .pdf so that it can only be opened in Reader. Right now, if a user has Acrobat on their PC the .pdf opens in Acrobat. I want it to always open in Reader.
    Q2)  Can an older version of Reader (let's say 5.0) open a document that was created in a newer version of Acrobat (let's say 9.0)? If not, does a message display instructing the user to download the latest Reader version?
    Thx

    1) Not possible.
    2) Depends on the PDF version.

  • How to keep Reader from being installed if running Pro? Running Acrobat X Pro. Occaisionally, a website with a PDF triggers Reader to be installed on my system. NEVER want reader (that's why i bought Pro). How do i keep Reader from EVER being installed?

    Running Acrobat X Pro.
    Occasionally, a website with a PDF triggers Reader to be installed on my system.
    NEVER want reader (that's why i bought Pro).
    How do i keep Reader from EVER being installed?

    I don't get a pop-up. Something triggers the Reader installer to be loaded on my system. This occurs without my knowledge. Then, the next time i go to open a PDF, instead of it opening immediately with Acrobat Pro, I get the first screen of the installation stuff for Reader (Accept/Decline Terms of use, etc.). At this point, i get out of the install, go into control panel and uninstall Reader (which is listed as a loaded program, even though i haven't finished the install). After i uninstall reader and open a PDF, it opens correctly with Acrobat Pro. This happens once or twice a month at least. Is it possible that the Adobe Acrobat Update Service task loads Reader on my system at some interval? How do i block Reader form EVER being installed or loaded?

  • I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  Thanks for any ideas!

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

  • I can't select Photoshop CC 2014 when using the "Open with" menu in Windows 7

    I have recently installed CC 2014, and uninstalled my CC version. When I go to a jpeg, or any image file in windows explorer, I right-click and "open with" and it isn't listed on my program list to open the file with. I click on "browse programs", find the exe file in adobe-photoshop cc2014 folder and click OK, and it just goes back to the open with menu with no option for photoshop.
    Any ideas on how I can get it on that list, so I can open these files from the file location, instead of opening up photoshop and then searching for the file location within photoshop?
    Also, I don't have any problems opening up the pictures from within photoshop, just within windows explorer.

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

    To buy Apps or to check out the Apps available via your iPad use the App Store App.

    How is the C6200 connected to the iMac, is it via USB or Wi-Fi? If it's via Wi-Fi please make sure it's connected to the router using the printer's Network Wizard. Then click System Preferences - Print & Scan and assuming the iMac is on the same network as the printer, if it is the printer should be seen. If it's not then click the + sign and add the printer.

  • I am having problems combining 2 pdf's together. When I do it crashes Acrobat XI. The files are fairly large about 20Mb each if that helps. Others have been able to combine them without issue. Any Ideas?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • PDF attachments in Email lost ability to "open with"

    Just in the last few weeks, suddenly ios email is treating PDF attachments as a picture only offering me the option to Save Image or Copy when I press and hold the preview image in email.
    I need to be able to Open With my apps like GoodReader,  
    I have already tried a reset and that did nothing

    I guess you mean that after ******* around deleting this and that, and getting it to work once or twice, the problem resurfaced ?
    This is a bug pure and simple.  The same problem is in evidence when using a link to a pdf in Safari.  The only thing you get is the qick-view output (1.st. page) and no opportunity to open it with, or save it to iBooks.
    You would think that Apple would want to solve this problem, wouldn't you?

  • Windows Forms with ActiveX PDF viewer steals focus when LoadFile called

    I've been very frustrated with the PDF viewer. I currently have the Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 installed and I've created an extremely simple app that has a main window with two additional child windows that are owned by the main window. I've also set a timer to periodically load the same file over and over (to show the focus issue).
    My problem is that if Child1 is currently in Focus, and the timer on Child2 goes off and calls LoadFile(...), then for some reason Child2 steals the focus and comes to the front of the app.
    My Sample Visual Studio 2008 Windows Form code here:
    //Main Window code that creates Child1 and Child2 that have the ActiveX
    //component on them
    namespace PDFViewerStealingFocusIssue
    public partial class MainWindow: Form
    public MainWindow() {
    InitializeComponent();
    private void MainWindow_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    PDFViewerStealingFocusIssue.PDFViewer viewer = new PDFViewer();
    viewer.Text = "Child1";
    viewer.timer1.Interval = 4000;
    viewer.Show(this);
    viewer = new PDFViewer();
    viewer.Text = "Child2";
    viewer.timer1.Interval = 5500;
    viewer.Show(this);
    //in my child window:
    namespace PDFViewerStealingFocusIssue
    public partial class PDFViewer : Form
    public PDFViewer() {
    InitializeComponent();
    private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    axAcroPDF1.LoadFile(@"C:\test.pdf");
    //axAcroPDF1.src = @"C:\test.pdf";
    I'd appreciate if anyone has a workaround for stopping this annoying behavior.

  • When using the "Open With" functionality to download an eml file, firefox is appending a *.txt extension to the filename. How can I prevent this from happening?

    If I save the file instead of open it, the file saves correctly (ie: without the added txt extension). If I attempt to open instead of save, the txt is added, resulting in the file opening as a text file instead of an eml file.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Map with 500 pdfs. How to make a new file with only the first pages, new file with second pages etc.

    Hi,
    A client confronted me with the next question:
    I have a map with 500 pdf's in it.
    Is it possible to make a new file with only the first page of each pdf?
    After that to make a new file with only the second page of each pdf?
    And after that the third?
    Etc.
    Is that possible with an action?
    Or are there scripts for?
    I couldn't find them.
    I use an iMac with Acrobat XI.
    Any help is very welcome.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can extract each page from each pdf as a seperate page.     Once this is done you can select the pages tocombine.
    You would have to write custom a custom JavaScript and programatically code the names to combine if the extracted file pages habvestandars naming that could  be programed. There maybe some security  coding you will have to do because of Adobe restrictions but this all documented in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.
