Attachments to extended features enanbled forms

Is it possible to allow the user to attach documents to a LiveCycle Reader Extended Features activated form when they are using Reader? If yes, how?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled using the server component LC Reader Extensions ES2.
If the form was Reader Enabled using Acrobat, then it will not be possible for users to attach documents to the form.

Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader X - Enable Extended Features for Form

Using Acrobat Pro 8.3.0, I "Enabled Usage Rights for Adobe Reader" for a fillable form created in LiveCycle Designer 8.0. The following error message occurs when opening this form in Reader X:
"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."
The form has not been changed and as mentioned, I am the author. Any solutions to allow user in Reader X to fill-in form? Do I need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X?

I am having same problem with a 2011 year tax PDF fill in form I JUST got from IRS website. The actual form is the 2011 8829.
I can not open the PDF from the web browser or if I save it to my local drive.
I have not been able to open it at all ... thus I have made NO changes.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, Adobe Reader X version 10.1.4.
After trying to open the doc (nothing displays) I go to properties, and it says ...
Title: 2011 Form 8829
Author: SE:W:CAR:MP
Created: 12/23/2008
PDF Producer: Adobe LiveCycle DSesigner ES 8.2.
PDF Version: 1.7 (Acrobat 8.x)
Tagged PDF: No
Fast Web View: No
What do I do to resolve this ... I only have this version of Reader ... nothing else.

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.

Dynamically Fill PDF form (extended features enabled forms)

Hi Tarek
Firstly let me say thank you for the great help you are doing through the forum.
With Google, I did a very long search to find out how to fill a PDF form from a database. I achieved this using the iTextSharp dll. But this dll not supporting adobe extended features. thatsy once i filled forms using this class, result form will be flat form and we cant fill it manually again. even this will disable adobe extended features when i open it in adobe reader.
I am working with a project to simplify immigration process (CANADA). I already have all immigration forms created using LiveCycle. That means when i open these form in free Adobe Reader I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline).
My Workflow as follows
1. I am working with .Net Frame Work 2, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Applications (not Web/ASP)
2. I have fillable forms designed using Adobe LiveCycle (I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline) using Adobe Reader).
3. I have to dynamically fill these forms with data from a database (data is already available and its almost achieved using iTextSharp Dll)
4. Once its dynamically filled, I will send these forms to client through email, because some of the data should be filled by client.
5. client can open these forms in free Adobe Reader and they can fill and save these forms(because Adobe extended feature enabled in this form, so they can fill and save in Adobe Reader)
6. Once they fill and save the form, they will send back final form to us through emal (no Online Submit required).
7. We will check it and finalize, take printout and attach to our document management system.
8. I can't use any great technologies bcz I dont need any online Submision/Rejection thing and our budjet is low.
9. I am looking some technologies same as itextShar, simply fill data to form and save it as a new PDF, but it should support Adobe Extended Featers( what is currently not available in iTextSharp), so that customer can fill and save it again using simple and free ADOBE READER.
That's it !!
could u please verify my workflow is correct or not, bcz am new to PDF things and can u please suggest me solution to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Ajo Joseph

iTextSharp doesn't enable usage rights in PDF forms, so any changes will invidate the form.
To bypass the validitiy of the Usage Rights, server the XDP data from the buffer of a web server, and point the File to the PDF on the same web server.
Usage rights will still be enabled, and the form can be saved or downloaded.
Also, please be sure to check out FDFToolkit.net, and PDFEmail.net.

Emailing a document removes extended features in form

Hi all,
Spent hours on google and even with adobe tech support (1:45 - was nice of the guy to try for that long.. but no results).
I created a most basic form in Adobe 9 Pro Extended. Extended usage rights. On the computer I created it on, I can open it in Adobe Reader, fill out the forms, and submit it with no issues.
When I email it my second PC to test it, I get the (dreaded):
" 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".
But, nothing has changed. It was simply emailed.
Both PC's are running Windows 7, With MS Office 2010, both have fully updated Adobe Reader, and my Adobe 9 Pro extended is fully updated.
Any thoughts? Adobe escalated it to some super tech support group that is supposed to call me within 24 hours, but it's put a project of mine on hold (and driving me nuts) so trying to find a solution.
Thanks,
C

Sadly, it was a time stamp issue.
My times were correct, but I had one PC (the one I created it on) was off by 1 day for some reason. So when I sent it out it said it was incorrect because the document was 'created' at a time that didn't yet exist.
I read something about the time being off (timezones) but not dates. So silly, and thanks for the replies.

How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.

Extended Features prevents me from editing a form on another computer.

Extended Features prevents me from editing a form on another computer. I have to use this program at work but when I save it to a disk then try to edit it at home or vice verse I can't. This makes Adobe a horrible program to use.
I really HATE IT.
I can't contact a human being by email.
Adobe is a HORRIBLE company to work with.
I wish my work would have stayed with Lotus or what ever it is called now.
I doubt anyone even reads these posts.
DISCUSSED WITH ADOBE.

Acrobat Adobe Reader
I have no clue what the right forum would be. would you enlighten me
please. I have wasted hours trying to figure out who I need to talk with. I
would think designers would know the most about the issue.
Obviously, I am wrong. I don't think anyone cares about my problem or for
that matter any ones problem with any Acrobat software.

How to Update Extended Feature Forms and Keep Extended Features?

In the company I work for we have a bunch of PDF certificates that our Customer Service department uses, namely for international sales. Only the Customer Service manager has Adobe Acrobat so she uses Extended Features so the other people in Customer Service are able to update the forms. The forms were updated for the new year and then saved in a new folder for 2014. Now people that are using Adobe Reader get an error about the document being changed and so the extended features are no longer available. I have read that it can be fixed using Acrobat and saving a copy of the form so that the extended features are disabled and then saving it again to enable extended features, but they have over 60 of these documents so that would take a long time to complete. Is there an easier way to re-enable the extended features?

Not without spending (tens of) thousands of dollars on an application that can apply these rights in batch.
60 files is not that much, though. Sit someone down and they should be able to do it in an hour.
Also, if you upgrade to Reader XI then you won't need those rights anymore, as that version can save filled-in form fields even without them.

Cannot Save Form Information pop-up in Reader, Extend Features enabled in Acrobat

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to created fillable forms. Once they are created, I save with the "Extend Features to Adobe Reader" before uploading to my intranet for use. Despite that, my users accessing the form via Adobe Reader are told upon opening with a pop-up that they "Cannot Save Form Information, etc". I have googled this issue and searched the forums, and cannot figure out why my Extend Features isn't working and my users can't save their form data.
Help!

Extending Features in Adobe Reader disabled

I am wondering if someone can help me with this issue. I'm currently using Acrobat 9 Pro on a MAC. I saved the pdf document with "Extend Features in Adobe Reader." Editorial (uses PC) open the document using Acrobat Standard and added all the comments needed. I open the document and I can add my comments as well. However, when a freelancer who has Adobe Reader only open the document, she got a message saying "use of extended features is no longer available." Why this is happening? Is this a versioning issue, hardware related or what? Any help would be really appreciated.

To be able to add attachments you need to Reader Extend the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server. Acrobat does not have that bit in it to allow attachments (it does allow Digital Signing).

Preserving PDF version after Save during "Extend Features in Reader"

Hi,
I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I'm attempting to make a fillable form that needs to be compatible with Acrobat 5 (PDF v1.4) . I can make the form, but when I extend features in reader, the copy it saves is PDF v1.6 (Acrobat 7). Is there any way to maintain the PDF version when doing this, or is this not possible with V1.4 PDFs?
Thanks.

"Reader enabling" was introduced with version 1.5 (Acrobat 6).
Be well...

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.

Problems with extended features. I can no longer fill out my documents in the fields provided. The error message I get is "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 original version of this document."

Yes. I don't have the version you pay for. I also tried the free version
of EchoSign. Maybe that caused the problem.
Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Extended features error in Adobe Reader X

Friends,
I am trying to fill out some application forms available at the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. I have saved these forms on computer hard drive. Although the forms say that they can be filled and saved on computer in order to make future changes, I am not able to do so. Everything seems fine when I fill out the form the first time but when I save the form and open it up at a later time, I receive the following message in Adobe Reader:
"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."
After this message is received, I can open and see these forms but cannot edit it any more. Due to this, I have to start over from zero in order to make even a small change. Please help me solve this problem. I am using Acrobat X and Windows 7 operating system.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe Sekhon

Thanks very much for looking into this Pat. Here is the link for one of those forms:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5481E.pdf
Hopefully, when you download it and save it on your computer, fill it and close it and then reopen it for editing, you will get the same error as me. Once again, thanks very much.
Joe
