Automatic Enable Usage Rights in Reader

We have several programs that can natively create PDFs. We have been manually enabling usage rights in reader in them with Acrobat 8.0 Pro. Is there a way to automate this with distiller or some other way?

If you've got a form workflow that large, you'd probably want to check and be sure you are within the usage rights for Acrobat enabled forms.
Forms enabling in Acrobat is intended for low-use situations.

  • Batch processing for Enabling Usage Rights for Reader

    Hello,
    We have a lot of documents that we are converting to fillable pdfs using Acorbat 9 which will then be sent out via email to be filled by users. Since there are 50-100 different files, is there a way to use Batch Processing to enable usage rights to Reader for all those documents? Any help or advice is appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Sam

    There's no way with Acrobat. You can with Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions product, but it's likely not worth it for just this.

  • Enable Usage Rights for Reader 9

    Hi,
    I'm reading through a pdf document and I want to make comments.  Apparently I need to enable the usage rights through Advanced/Extend Features in Adobe Reader.  However, I don't have the Advanced tab (Reader 9).  Do I need to update to a newer version?  I've tried doing this but the download only proceeds so far then stops.  I've tried temporarily disabling my Antivirus but this doesn't change anything.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You need Acrobat Standard or Pro to Reader-enable a document. Reader itself cannot do this. Reader 10 allows you to add sticky notes and hightlight text annotations, even of the file is not Reader-enabled, unless the document has security restrictions that prevent it.

  • Enabling usage rights in Reader

    Is there a way to set Acrobat so all the PDFs created will have Reader usage rights turned on? I don't see this in the preferences.

    No, there is no automation for this feature (Adobe sell a high end
    product for that). Besides, if it were automatic, you could easily
    inadvertantly create files which would break the EULA by having more
    than 500 users.

  • How to set enable usage rights in adobe reader?

    Dear all,
    How to set "enable usage rights in adobe reader..." in acrobat sdk?
    I did that through menu event but it shows saveAs dialog window.
    Please anyone guide how to handle the saveas window. Otherwise if there is any method to directly enable the option.
    Thanks...

    There is no way to automate this in the Acrobat SDK.  If you need to automate Reader Enablement, you need another product – LiveCycle Reader Extension Server.

  • Enabling usage rights in Adobe Reader corrupts PDF text

    Hi,
    I've created a registration form using Open Office writer which has editable fields. I convert this to a PDF and then add a signature field in Acrobat 8.
    At this point everything works fine, all the editable fields etc convert across, but I want people to be able to sign and save the form in Reader, so I check the "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" feature and save it. Now when I open the PDF in either Acrobat or Reader all the text is completely corrupted and illegible (see image).
    Any idea what's going on here?
    Thank you
    Paul

    OK, here you go.

  • Problem with enabling usage rights for Adobe Reader

    Hi All,
    I have designed a form using Live cycle. From Live cycle I export it as PDF. As a final step, I open the PDF by using acrobat professional to enable usage rights for Adobe Reader. As soon as I enble the rights it saves the document with a different name, which is fine. However; at the same time it also runs the postsave events from the form and removes a couple of objects. How do I avoid this? My form has very little code:
    There is a drop down field called 'LearningSolutionsAdvisor' which has the following code on PostSave event:
    NewHorizons.Page1.LearningSolutionsAdvisor::postSave - (FormCalc, client)
    LearningSolutionsAdvisor.access ="readOnly"
    There is 'Save' button which has the following code:
    NewHorizons.Page1.Save::click - (JavaScript, client)
    app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
    NewHorizons.Page1.Save::postSave - (FormCalc, client)
    Save.presence = "invisible"
    I thank you for your help in advance.

    This video is very helpful as it explains exactly what I want to do:  Extend Features in Adobe Reader, to allow my readers to save their changes.  However, I do not have that option in my version of Adobe X Pro 10.1.4.  Can anyone explain to me why I don't have that option, and what an alternative would be?

  • Enable Usage Rights Resetting in Adobe 8.1.2

    Hi!
    I've created a series of forms using Livecycle that need to be sent off to multiple recipients, who need to be able to save/print/etc. from Acrobat Reader.
    Using Professional 8.1.2 I've been Enabling Usage Rights with Acrobat Reader but when I open the forms up again the next day the rights are no longer enabled and I have to enable them all over again! It doesn't happen every time - they stick with some forms - but most of the time they seem to be reset and it's getting very hard to keep track of which forms are still enabled.
    Is this a known problem? Any ideas??

    I've double checked my fonts, and the only fonts used are Myriad Pro which I'm pretty sure is embedded across Acrobat.
    Do you know what kind of scripts might cause the change? I've got a couple running in the forms - the ones that I've written myself are:
    1. calculation scripts (just pretty simple numeric calculations on inputted data)
    2. an if... then script that runs on a dummy e-mail submit button that clicks the actual submit if a check-box is ticked
    I know there's also script running in the 'current date' field, which is the only thing I could think of that might be running every time the form is opened, and which might explain why the rights stay until the next day. However, if I try to recreate the problem by changing the date on my comp calendar and re-opening the forms, the usage rights are still sticking there fine.
    Do any of these seem like likely causes, or are there other scripts that might be hidden around on the form? What's the best way to check?
    Also, all of my scripts were written in Formcalc instead of Javascript - would this make a difference?

  • Enabling Usage Rights In A Form Created In Older LC, But Updated In Newer Version of LC

    Has anyone run into the situation where updates have been made in a form that was originally created in an older version of LC with a newer version not enabling the usage rights for Reader?  I have a form that I created that was done in an older version, and I recently needed to make updates to it, and I now have Adobe Pro X.  Anyone who has Adobe Standard or higher can access the form and fill it out, but if someone only has Reader, they really cannot do anything with it.  It has created a problem in my office.  Once we figured out what was going on, I had to find someone with Adobe Pro 8 to pull up the form and enable the usage rights in Reader.  I'm really hoping it is that I am missing something, but I don't know.
    Here is how the form is set up as a default:

  • Why is Enable Usage Rights creating Duplicate Pages?

    I have created a dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.  The form is formatted correctly and has no duplicate pages when examining the not-enabled form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.  However, when I attempt to Enable Usage Rights so that external users can download the form and fill in the fields, the ENABLED version has duplicate pages.  I do not understand why because the original document does not have these duplicates - they only appear when I Enable the Usage Rights.  I cannot delete these duplicate pages in the Enabled version.  Please help!
