Activate Extended Features converting files

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to convert to pdf 3D files. We are doing the conversion via Batch Process that executes a sequence and is working fine. The problem is that the generated pdf file has no te extended features activated by default, so the final user cannot for example use the tool for making 3D measurements.
Is there any way to activate those extended features for all documents generated in the conversion.
Regards,
Nacho.

Correct – no batch process.
Yes, LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server, is specifically designed for batch enabling.
Yes, there is also a 3D conversion add-on for LiveCycle PDF Generator, available from a 3rd party, so that you could do the entire thing there.

  • Activate extended log files

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me where you activate extended log files for the webcache. At present we have common log files.
    We are using Portal 9.0.2.2.14a
    Oracle Appli. Server 9.0.2.0.1
    Many Thnaks,
    Karl

    Hi Karl,
    You can do so by selecting the different fields required for the extended log format. Essentially, you'd be customizing the "common" log file.

  • Reader can't open file saved with "Extended Features"

    Any help would be appreciated.
    File created with Acrobat Pro 9.
    File opens fine under Windows and Linux, but can't be saved.
    Enable "Extended Features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat Pro 9.
    File can be saved under Windows, but gives an error in Linux.
    "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 the document."
    The file opens, but is unusable.  Nothing can be entered into any of the fields.
    Thanks,

    I had the same problem earlier this week -- I created a PDF with Acrobat 9, enabled for commenting, sent out to coworkers, who then reported the "use of extended features is no longer available" message. After many, many troubleshooting permutations, I finally found the problem to be related to the timestamp on the file.
    I am on the US east coast, and the document was sent to coworkers on the US west coast, 3 hours earlier. When they opened the document, it appeared to be "from the future" (lol) and therefore suspect. This was born out by the fact that the next day, the file behaved as expected for them. I also verified this on a test system, where I was able to switch the time setting. By the way, this happened with both Reader 8 and 9.
    So, I guess the workaround is either to change your computer's time before sending a file with rights extensions to someone in an earlier time zone, or create it and hold it until they have caught up with the time in the file's timestamp.
    That has to be about the weirdest bug I have encountered to date...and I have no idea why it showed up this week. I have been sending out PDFs enabled for commenting for a couple years.

  • Can a Postscript file distill into a PDF with the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader..." activated?

    I need to automate the activation of "Extend Features in Adobe Reader..." for PostScript jobs that distill into PDF forms.
    Is there a pdfmark command I could add, or some other method that will do this?

    Does not look like it's possible:

  • Remove extended features more than one document at a time.

    Does anybody know how to remove the extended features in Adobe files in batch mode? Since the newest upgrade of Adobe reader, we are having to remove the extended features and have 702 forms to do this with! Our users are trying to add their image signature and now it prompts them to do a save as and then locate the saved copy. Seems there must be an easier way or a fix for this?  Thanks all.

    Hi melanie1621
    Yes You can upload more than one document ...
    Please do the following :

  • I have the latest version of iTunes and want to convert  files to MP3 - how do I do that?

    I have iTunes  11.0.4 which is upgraded from 11.0.12 and I have the same problem I had before the upgrade.  The choice to convert files to MP3 no longer exists per the instructions.  Does anyone who works for Apple know how to do this?  Why would Apple take this feature away?  It was really helpful.
    I will have to start using the Amazon Cloud Player if iTunes can't get this resolved.  Help!!!  I love the old iTunes, but the new one ***** - does anyone know how to overcome this problem without 3rd party software?
    Thanks!

    Set up your preferred import format under Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings, then right click on a selection of tracks to convert. If you want to permanently change the format, discarding the originals, while preserving ratings, play counts and playlist membership, then try my script ConvertFormat.

  • 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.

  • The Document Enabled Extended Features in Adobe Reader.

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a problem while opening a PDF form that is editable. get below error message:
    The Document Enabled Extended Features in Adobe Reader,  The document has been changed since it was created & use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of the document.
    Our requirement is like we received a PDF template from client. we added an image field by using Adobe LiveCycle designer to achieve user signature on the field & save the PDF form, once signature field is added; PDF form is opened in Adobe Acrobat X pro to enable readers extensions (open PDF form in Adobe Acrobat X pro -> File -> Save As - > Readers Extended PDF -> Enable Additional features.).
    Once this reader Enabled PDF form is uploaded in sharepoint Document library where from user can download this form on their local, open this PDF form is opened in Adobe Reader on their local system the Above mentioned message appears.
    Here we are using trial version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Can you please confirm if this error is because of this trial version? or some alternate approch.
    Thanks,
    Ram

  • Where is located "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat XI?

    When you create a form and you want the user to fill it and save it with the filled data, you have to select in Acrobat Pro the menu option "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader".
    But in Acrobat XI There is no "Advanced" menu and I can't find "Extended features in Adobe Reader" anywhere.
    How the hell is it done with Acrobat XI?

    I'm not sure. This one in particular has changed to some extent every time since it was first available with Acrobat 8:
    For future reference:
    A7: Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader
    A7: Tools > Typewriter > Enable Typewriter tool in Adobe Reader
    A8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    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)

  • Remove Extended Features with JavaScript?

    A LITTLE HISTORY:
    At first I was manually trying to crop a PDF using the Document > Crop Pages option in Acrobat Pro.
    However, it told me that I could not crop the document because the document "restricts some features to allow for extended features in Acrobat Reader" and that I should Save a Copy in order to remove the restrcitions and be able to crop the document.
    That was fine and that did indeed work by saving a copy. And, I was then able to crop the document.
    However, now I have been given hundreds of these documents to crop and they all have this "extended features" thing enabled on them.
    I was going to write a JavaScript batch command to crop the files (which I have done for previous projects) but it wouldn't work (I assume because of the extended features).
    Then I tried writing a javaScript to saveAs all the documents with the asCopy option set to true.
    That did not seem to work either because when I then tried to crop one of the saveAs files, I got the same "extended features" error.
    QUESTION:
    Does anyone know how I can programmatically get around this problem? Can I disable "extended features" via JavaScript? Can I do some sort of save or exprto or something that will strip it out? Am I simply doing something wrong? Or, is it just not possible?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Mark

    I haven't even gotten to the code part yet.
    Here is a word-for-word transcription of the error message:
    This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Acrobat Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), click Save a Copy.
    This is an Adobe Acrobat dialog where I have a Save a Copy button and a Cancel button.
    This warning message appears when I manually try to crop the document by using the Document -> Crop Pages option from Adobe Acrobat.
    As I was originally asking:
    Does anyone know how I can programmatically get around this problem via JavaScript? Can  I disable "extended features" via JavaScript? Can I do some sort of  save or export or something that will strip it out?
    I have 320 documents I need to crop. I really don't want to have to manually Save a Copy for each document.
    Thank you very much!

  • Reader Extended Features not available in downloaded PDF

    I've posted a form on my website with Reader Extended Features enabled so it can be "Ink Signed". Finding that the extended features are not available in browser Reader plugins, I created a link to the PDF with PHP that allows it to be downloaded, then opened with the standalone version of Reader, but still get the message "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document." If I open my original local copy of the PDF it still has Extended Features enabled. What's changing in the downloaded copy?
    Created in Acrobat Pro 9, opened in Reader 9.3.4
    Thanks for any insight.

    Bernd--thanks for your interest. I found that the problem was the PHP script that I was using to force the PDF to download instead of open in the browser plugin. I used several variations of the script with the same results--seemed to be altering the contents of the PDF which cancelled the Reader Extended Features. A solution that I found was to add
    <FilesMatch "\.(pdf)$">
      ForceType application/octet-stream
      Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>
    to the .htaccess file. Since I only wanted one PDF (not all of them on the site) to be affected, I put it and the .htaccess file in a subdirectory and linked to it there. The PDF now downloads with Reader Extended Features intact.

  • 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 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"

  • Extend Features in Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    I'm working on a form that has several dropdown lists fields wrapped individually into hidden subforms which become available (visible) once their assigned check boxes are selected. After testing the form, all works just fine. However, the issue I'm running into is actually coming up only after I Extend Features in Adobe Reader. The issue has to do with the dropdown items, in which I'm using a for loop to display my list of items very much in the same way as the "Purchase Order" form that comes with Adobe LiveCycle. The problem is that before extending the features in Adobe Reader, the dropdown list shows all my items populated in my for loop just as planned, however, once I extend the feature in Reader, all the list items appear twice i.e. item1, item2, item3, then, item1, item2, item3 again as if it "shadows" all the items.
    When I noticed the issued in my form, I thought I had done something wrong, but after double checking I confirmed that the issued only occurred on the extended file and not on the original file. So, I decided to test it on the "Purchase Order" form by "Extending Features in Adobe Reader" and and the same thing occurred to the "Part No." items. You can check it out for yourselves!!
    I'd appreciate any help you can give me to solve this issue.
    Thank you!!

    Niall,
    I actually have my script in the "change" event, and it reads "FruitsScript.getFood(xfa.event.newText, LabelSheets".
    I moved it to the "preOpen" event and not only the event keeps firing twice, but I also don't get the second array to display anymore. (LabelSheets).
    This is sort of what I have in my actual form. It is a table that expanded in which header 1 would be my items, and header 2 would display the value assigned in the second array.
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Dropdown List (keeps Firing Twice)
    "LabelSheets" (does not display value)
    Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!!!!!!

  • PDF does not display when extended features is enabled.

    I have serval PDFs that I created in Adobe Acrobat. I can save them with extended features enabled. When customers view these PDF's they do not see any of the information filled in. If I take the extended features off they are able to view. I need to have these features enabled so that my sales staff can fill out forms and send to customers. Any idea on how to get around this? New app?

    If Adobe's own product won't do it, I doubt you'll find anything else that will, unfortunately. Still, maybe someone here has tried one of the seemingly unending stream of PDF and file readers in the app store that will.
    Good luck.
