Allow user to fill in a fillable pdf but disallow adding comments and annotation

Hi there. I have a fillable pdf created by livecycle designer. I want to let users fill in the form but prevant them adding comments and annotatons to the form. I cannot reset the above requirements in form property - form security if I have already set a password and allowed user to fill in the form. Can I user javascript to that effect during the document loading?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you save the form as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialogue, then the user will not be able to apply comments. They can only do this in flat or static PDF forms.

Hope that helps,

What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

I changed my User ID it changed on my phone but not on iCloud and it wont let me change my apple ID to my new ID how do I fix this?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you delete the existing account you will get an option to keep the iCloud data on your device.
Before deleting the account, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll.

Fillable PDF Form messes up layout and structure in Adobe Readers 7 or 8

I have Acrobat Professional with Adobe Reader Extensions, but still having issues, could any one please help,
Thanks,
Younge..

You should post this in the LiveCycle Designer forum if you havne't already.

How can I edit the contents of a pdf but keep my comments?

Im making PDF Maps from Illustrator and my maps are contantly updating, but the comments Ive made in previous versions need to stay the same. Is there any way I can do this?

provided you're not using layers and the map registers the same on the page, export the new one to a separate PDF file and then in the original use the Replace Pages function (right-click the page thumbnail). That will swap the underlying content but leave links, forms and comments alone.

Allow user to fill in form using reader 9.0

I am creating a vb.net that will form fill a pdf that was created in acrobat 9.0. I set "extend features in adobe reader" for the form that the app will use. The user will then save the app to their local drive. I want them to be able to open the file locally and be able to fill in additional info in the form. However, when they open the pdf, the "extend features in adobe reader" has been removed. Is there a way to set this using the sdk?

Help with only allowing someone to fill or edit a pdf form twice

I need to make a pdf form. This form I would like the customer to only be able to fill it out and save it one time. No printing. The form will be on a usb drive. I then need the same thing but be able to fill or edit the form twice and five times. But still no printing at all. I need to sell a package that would allow me to unlock the file if the customer pays for an upgrade of 1, 2 or 5 more times to edit the file. Is there a way to do this???? Any help would be great.. Please and thank you.

How do I fill in a "fillable" pdf form using my Windows 8.1 laptop?

Obviously I'm not Adobe savvy. I downloaded a fillable application and saved it into the Adobe Reader file on my computer (that was the only option to save a .pdf). What do I have to do in order to enter my data, e-sign it, and e-mail it back? I opened the file, but am unable to click into any part of the form. Some of it has boxes and drop-down boxes, but I cannot access them. This is for my employer and I am feeling very foolish and inadequate right now. Please help! Thank you.

Start Adobe Reader first.
Then use Open from the File menu to open this file.
If there isn't a file menu let us know.
If there was a file menu, but you can't type it probably isn't fillable.

Allow users to set homepage in IE10/11 but keep GPO setting

I have setup a 2012 server to apply IE10 and 11 settings using group policy. I added the ie10 homepage user preferences/ internet settings and it applies the homepage. A user is complaining that they set their own homepage and it gets overwritten through
GPO every 30 minutes. We allow them to set their own homepage. Is there a way to allow the user to set their own homepage and continue to use this GPO but stop it from overwriting the users homepage every 30 minutes or so?

On the "Common" tab, check "apply only once".

IPad will display scanned PDFs but they are miscolored and streaked

I am supporting some judges who use iPads to access scanned documents via email on a regular basis.
Yesterday, one judge created a ticket claiming that he can still open scanned documents/attachments via iBooks and PDF reader etc...but when he opens them, the documents have horizontal bands of gray and/or colors appearing here and there in the display.
When he opens the documents on his PC (with Adobe, etc), they display perfectly - none of the errors appear the way they did on the iPad.
He claims that this feature used to work fine with no problems on his iPad, but "something seemed to change" recently.
Is anything I can do to help him, or is this a question for the Genius bar?

This is honestly a WAG but here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Allow user to edit their own Address Book server entry

Hiya.
I'm looking for a way to let users edit their own information in the Address Book Server/Open directory. I've made sure the main group for users is in the AB Read-Write Groups group in WGM.
I've even checked the box in Server Admin that says "Allow users to edit their own contact information", but after adding the account to an address book client and authenticating as a user (For example, myself), I can't edit my own contact info anywhere that will push to the server.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

You'd need to write a php script or something to interface with applescript…
