Adobe Reader document security properties miss-match

Hi,
I've created a document with document assembly allowed and form filling diss-allowed. Infact it's security bitmap mask is:
011011011100 or -2340
So you can clearly see that:
bit 9 is off, signifying form filling is NOT allowed
bit 11 is on, signifying document assembly IS allowed
Problem is I'm seeing this in adobe reader:
So my questions:
Why is there an inconsistency between the two dialogs?
Why in the first dialog is form filling allowed?
Thanks in advanced!
Andy.

If you are using your own software, I would think that your question is not directly related with Adobe and/or Reader.
I have to disagree, perhaps you didn't see my first post with my two specific questions?
Why is there an inconsistency between the two dialogs [in adobe reader]?
Why in the first dialog [in adobe reader] is form filling allowed?
So to re-iterate. I've created a PDF with a bitmask (which you can see in my first post) which, to the best of my understanding and interpretation of the PDF spec is correct and valid for a PDF that should diss-allow form filling. This part should really not be in question, unless of course I've interperated the PDF spec wrong and the bitmask is wrong. Either way, the bitmask shows that form filling is not enabled. In adobe reader, the first security details screen says that form filling is enabled. My question is simple, why? Also, why is it inconsistent between the two properties forms?
Anyone have any knowledge about these two security dialogs in adobe reader?
I hope this helps!
Thanks a lot!
Andy.

Yes but you need Adobe Acrobat to do it. Keep in mind that there are many ways around pdf security...

Technical Details And Success Story of Adobe LiveCycle Document Security

First of all I am sorry if my subject is not related to the previous topics.
I am a master student of Media Informatics in RWTH Aachen University. Now I am taking a seminar course of Digital Management Rights, and I have a topic: Adobe LiveCycle Document Security to be presented next week.
I do not have details information on how it works/technical aspect about it that I really need to well prepare of my presentation. I have read all the document in adobe website but unfortunately I could not find much more details explanation.
I also need user stories when they use Adobe LiveCycle Document Security. I read also the success story from adobe web site but it has no success story of customer who use the specific product of Adobe LiveCycle Document Security.
Thank you for your help.

There is a good case study on Penn State that would probably make a good addition to your presentation:

How can I paste a photo in an Adobe Reader document on my iPad?

Wrong app. If you want to layout pages, buy Apple's Pages. Will totally support what you want to do.

Insert Adobe Reader document into a Word document.

How do I insert an Adobe Reader document in to a Microsoft Word document? I have the Windows 7 operating system.

You can insert it as an object, via Insert - Object. You can't insert its contents into the Word file directly, unless you copy them and then paste them in your document or convert the PDF to a Word file (not possible with just the free Reader).

Adobe Reader 9 security

Ok Ive been working on a document as a freelancer and halfway through working I installed the new Adobe Reader 9. However now the security on the document has changed and I am not allowed to comment or anything any more on the document, which was allowed before. Why has this changed and how can I regain access to the document? This is now causing problems in my work and is delaying me.
Here is a screen shot of the document security. Why is the document security and document restrictions summary different?

A user is able to apply comments on a PDF using a free Adobe Reader because the author of the PDF document "Reader Enabled" the PDF using another Adobe paid service.
Looks like there is an incompatibility in the document permission settings when you switched from a lower Adobe Reader version to Adobe Reader9. [Is the document being used by you created quite some time back? Which reader version were you on before you switched to Adobe Reader9?]. This may happen because of some inherent incompatibility between older-new application. Besides, that might not necessarily be a problem just the result of applications getting more secure as they move forward
Is it possible for you to share this document for a closer look?
Another possible way out is if you could get hold of a more recent version of the PDF document floated by the author who could perhaps "reader enable & secure the PDF" using a more recent Adobe Acrobat version?

Blank windows from Adobe Reader X preferences, properties and more...

Hello, I have blank windows from preferences, properties, print, edit ditcionary and many other items. I am using Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) and Windows 7 64bit Any suggestions? Thanks

James,
I'm sorry to hear that you were having the same problem under 9.5. I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 10 under Windows 7 and yesterday my "default printer" simply disappeared from the options on my control panel. I re-installed my printer, but today whenever I would open a PDF document and try to print it, the document would simply close with no further ado. After a bit of trial and error, I ended up uninstalling Adobe Reader 10 and going back to Adobe Reader 9.5. Now everything is working just fine.

Set Simplex/Duplex Print for Adobe Reader documents

Hi,
I'm developing documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro that our users will open with Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. I need to set the Simplex/Duplex print parameters individually by each document.
I've tried adding trusted javascript in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts directory. I can set the number of copies and lastPage properties but no luck with Simplex/Duplex.
my script includes pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;
The Simplex/Duplex works if the document is opened with Adobe Acrobat Pro but not using Adobe Reader 8.0
I see a posting suggesting "Cos level APIs - see the PDF Reference 1.7" but do not find anything in PDF Reference 1.7.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
I see Acrobat/Reader 9.0 is available. Is there anything regarding passing collate=true/false in 9.0?

Adobe Reader bypasses "secure print" settings when printing from IE add-on

We have the IE add-on for Adobe Reader enabled (Internet Explorer 9), and we've found that for some people this is causing PDFs to get printed without the "secure print" option, even though the print dialog shows it. Our printer settings all have the setting enabled for "secure print", which requires you to enter a PIN on the printer before the print job will be released. When printing PDFs from Adobe Reader (currently 11.0.3, but I couldn't see anything in the release notes for .4, .5. or .6 that are relevant) outside of IE, secure print works fine, but when it's opened within the Adobe Reader plugin for IE, the secure print setting is enabled but the print job gets sent to the printer without the PIN requirement... somehow.
I'm completely stumped by it, and didn't even believe it until I saw it myself.
Does anyone know what might be working differently when a PDF is printed from the add-on than when it's printed by a 'full' instance of Adobe Reader?
On an affected PC, if you disable the add-on, the PDF opens in that full instance and works normally, so it's very definitely related (somehow) to the add-on specifically.

Hey,
I have been advised against monitor calibration, and I'm assuming if all of my other products have come back correct in terms of colour I see on screen that it should be ok?
the person that told me about the Adobe workspace has the same printer, but she works in Photoshop, and had someone set it up for her. She tried to help over phone, but is difficult as we have different versions of Adobe software, and it was a while since she had it done.
My workspace is currently in RGB, so would you suggest working in CMYK?
If I have my workspace set to Adobe RGB (1998) should I then be changing my printer profile to the same one?
I've attached the colour setting screen shot, I've not done anything to change this.
I think I need the setting on bottom image set to 'colour sync' is that right?
I'm also not sure about the relative colourimetric option. When at art college, I was always told to print in perceptual, but not sure which is best option here.

Adobe reader installation file is missing? (need an awser ASAP)

Hi i work for a computer store and a coustmer called with a problem about his adobe reader. He said when he tries to open Adobe Reader it would say that the installation file was missing. So i figured it would be an easy fix right? just reinstall it and it would be fixed. Well that is not the problem in this case, after he reinstalled it the same error would still pop up and i am not sure if it is a bad sector on the HDD or if it something wrong with the installation of the program or what the problem is and how i could help him fix it. So i would like some help with this, and i need an anwser ASAP.
-Thank you

Assuming that you want the English version for Windows, you can download it here http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/enu/AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe
For other versions drill down from this FTP site ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/

Tab Thru Adobe Reader Documents

Is there any way to set up the adobe reader so I can tab thru my documents instead of a new window opening up every time I open a new document?
Now I have a dozen or more windows open at one time and it is taking up my task bar not to mention it is hard finding my way thru all these documents.
Thank you for your help!

I don't think the preference option is there in windows reader. It is there only in Linux. I don't know why this is not implemented in windows.
Because of this, practically I'm seeing only these solutions
Install Foxit PDF Reader(Also we can create bookmarks in the document while viewing with this) or
Install Google chrome and make it as the default pdf viewer. Then it will open the documents in tabs. Use chrome for this purpose only and use some other browser for Internet. I feel this is better because Chrome will re-open the last opened files and adobe will remember the last view of each file if enabled in preference.

Adobe Reader 9 security issues

Maybe this is old news-first announced 2/24- but just came across it. Described there as "critical." Reduce vulnerability by disabling javascript in Reader preferences. Patch expected 3/11.

Thanks for the tip, wasn't aware of it myself....
I found it completely by chance. Adobe certainly doesn't exactly go out of their way to publicize these things. They just did an important security update to Flash 10-found also by chance- and there isn't even an updater in Flash 10.
I know you don't use it anyway, but for anyone needing PDF, could always fall back on Preview, I guess, until this thing gets fixed.

How do you keyboard scroll an Adobe Reader document the same way as a web page?

When I use the up and down arrows using a browser it simply scroll the page as a whole, not line for line. I can not seem to figure out how to do the same with Adobe Reader. I often have 2 column documents (similar to newspaper width) and find it frustrating scrolling as the cursor jumps around. It's not a smooth transition at all. I am often frustrated with this. How can I fix it? I searched and google and did not find anything. Automatic scroll is the closest I can get it to work. Seems like such a simple task is made complicated.

Windows 7. Document being opened directly with Adobe Reader X 10.1.8.24.
Like I said in the original post I'm using the arrow keys. The page up keys are for scrolling entire pages. I want to smooth scroll as you can with browsers. Can't seem to figure it out. The page keys are choppy and it's easy to loose your place this way. Using the arrow keys only scrows a cursor on the last page the cursor was on. If I skip from page 1 to 10 for example, and my cursor is still sitting on page 1, if I hit the arrow key, it brings me back to page 1. I experience this on ALL systems using Adobe Reader.
