Adobe Acrobat 8 Security Settings

Hi,
I'm new to this and will try to be to the point. I am currently running a form created in LiveCycle for the staff at my job. They are accessing the form through Reader 7, but when they click the "Email Submit Button" it is telling them the security settings do not allow the propertyy or method.
I went and checked the security settings and I have no security selected. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, or if this is just Reader not allowing the option at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Ken

Thanks Geo!
I tried "Enable Usage Rights" in Adobe Reader, but that didn't work either. Where can I find the "Extended Reader Forms Rights" option at?
I was thinking I might need LiveCycle ES, but I'm still holding out that I won't. Thanks again for the assist!
-Ken

Adobe Acrobat 7 Security Bulletin

http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb06-20.html
Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0 through 7.0.8 that could although Adobe is not aware of any specific code exploits at this time allow an attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system.
Adobe Reader 7.0 through 7.0.8 and Adobe Acrobat Standard and Professional 7.0 through 7.0.8 on the Windows platform when using Internet Explorer. Users of other browsers are not affected.
More information available at the above link.

If there are form fields, then whoever added them probably used the forms menu, not the Acrobat form fields. Thus the PDF was converted to Designer and you are out of luck. The FORMS button found in various places in Acrobat 7 and latter takes you to Designer, not the Acrobat form tools. The latter are located in the tools menu.

Acrobat X Security Settings Not Working

I made a PDF portfolio with Acrobat X and set password security to not allow any changes. The document title says it is SECURED, but pages can still be extracted. What is going on? What did I miss?

I also tried changing the compatibility from Acrobat 7 and later to Acrobat X and later. Still no go.
Setting security to "any changes except page extraction" is ineffective. The security dialog says that page extraction is not allowed, but I can definitely extract pages. Setting security to "no changes" is also ineffective.
Here is the dialog from "any changes except page extraction"

How to export security settings from Acrobat Pro

I'm transferring my Acrobat Pro to a new computer. Is there a way to export the security settings (passwords) that I have stored and then import them into Acrobat Pro on my new computer?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
The paths you are looking for are:
Win XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name¹>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\<ver²>\Security
Vista \ Win7
C:\Users\<user name¹>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\<ver²>\Security
¹The user name is the same as the login name
²ver is the major version (e.g. 8.0, 9.0)
Note, if you don't see the folders in the Windows Explorer try the following:
Start Windows Explorer
Select the Tools > Folder Options menu item
Select the View tab
Select the Show hidden files and folders radio button
Click the OK button on the Folder Option dialog
Good hunting,
Steve

Adobe Acrobat - Digital Signatures Security

Hi,
The business I am working for is making a push for online fill in forms for simplicity and less paperwork. At the moment they are using word docs with fill in sections that are terrible to deal with and still require you to print them out to sign it.
I have developed a PDF fill in form using Adobe LiveCycle that uses digital signatures. My only worry is how the digital signatures are created. It seems it is fairly easy to create a digital signature for someone else and use it without it being authenticated.
I have done some reading around and it seems to suggest that you are able to intergrate windows user accounts with adobe security somehow, but I am unable to find how to do this. I also don't have access to any of the windows security certificates so I will need to pass on information to the external IT company that manages it for them to do.
So, more specific question: How do I intergrate Adobe Acrobat signatures/security with windows user accounts so that only a specific list of users are able to sign forms.
Or if there is a better way of doing this let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
You don't need to do anything. If the user has loaded their digital ID into the Windows Certificate Store (or the Mac Keychain) then Acrobat (and when I say Acrobat I mean both Acrobat & Reader) will pick up the digital ID and make it available at signing time in the Sign Document dialog, "Sign as" drop-down menu.

Saving Print Settings on Adobe Acrobat Reader

Hey Guys,
How do i save the Adobe Acrobat Reader printing settings to keep the "Print on both sides" option?
I have a user in the office reporting he needs to check that option in order to print double-sided, but the double-sided option is already configured under the System Preferences > Print
The Mac OS version is 10.5.8 and the Adobe Acrobat Reader is on 10.1.3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Wilson

Migrating settings from Adobe Acrobat X to Adobe Acrobat XI

Hi,
Due to the deployment of Office 365 I need to upgrade 300+ people from Adobe Acrobat X to Adobe Acrobat XI.
Most of these users sign documents using digital signatures and therefore have a Digital ID and one or more custom Signature Appearances.
After upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI, the Digital ID and Signature Appearances settings aren't migrated from Adobe Acrobat X.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to migrate the setting during the installation, or programmably after the installation completes?
Thanks,
Anne.

Hi Sukrit,
Thanks for taking the time to provide some advice, it is much appreciated.
Unfortunately the link you provided doesn't explain how to export/import the security settings during the installation of a new version of Adobe or programmably after the installation completes.
Regards,
Anne

Signature security setting change between Adobe Acrobat versions

Hi,
I created a document using Adobe Acrobat 9 that requires individuals to sign the document using their electronic signature. There are no security settings on this document when it was created using Acrobat 9. However when users that have Acrobat 11 open the document, the security settings don't allow signatures. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to change the security settings such that it is compatible with all versions of Acrobat? I would prefer to avoid buying a new version of Acrobat in order to create a document that will be compatible for all users if at all possible.

I found out the issue. I'm running Acrobat Pro IX and the user was having problems with Acrobat Reader XI. When I enabled the reader extender to allow for signatures using version IX, it would not work on the users computer. I had to download the trial version of XI save using the reader extender function before the individual could actually electronically sign the document. Since that was the only solution to my problem, I would have to conclude that XI is not backwards compatible with Acrobat IX when the file has been saved to allow for users with Acrobat Reader to sign.

Security Settings in Acrobat

We are creating forms and right now when we open the completed form in Adobe Reader, it gives us the message that we can not save the "changed" document, meaning the parts that have been filled in. We need to know how we can change the security settings so that we can open the form in Reader and have the capabilities to Save, Print & Email.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

From Acrobat, use Advanced>Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.

Hi skydivingsnowman,
I'm sorry you're having such trouble using the ExportPDF service. What browser are you using?
Please try clearing your browser cache, or using a different browser (here's a list of supported browsers: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
Please let me know if that works.

I have paid for a year subscription, but all the PDF's I attempt to export to Word give me a "Conversion Error" message, citing that the "file's security settings do not allow export." I want a refund. Adobe, please advise. Thank you.

Hi la recruiter,
There are a few types of files that Acrobat can't convert--and PDF files with security applied is one on them. I'm happy to cancel your subscription, if you decide that it's not going to work out for you. Please confirm that you'd like me to proceed with the cancelation, and I'll take care of it right away.
Best,
Sara
