Basics: Save Rights Enabled for Reader

I have an involved Applescript that handles/creates pdfs for our clients. The only thing I need Acrobat Pro 9.4 to do is to create the Rights Enabled option for Reader and save as into a new file. Ideally, without having to use the GUI interface.
Reading up on the API, every reference to Rights Enabled seems to be in the context of Forms, or Live Cycle. None of those would seem to be required? And there are several atomic levels that can be rights enabled, it seems, which is good. Even if I have none of these environments, is the effect of the menu command of "Enable Rights ..." the same as saving each of these options to a new pdf? I'm assuming this is an application level javascript?
Starting to work the javascript examples in the API is frustrating because everything after "var jsNum = 10" fails to seem to work and the errors reported don't make sense in the context I'm seeing them. i'm not dumb, just inexperienced with javascript. Its frustrating when the examples copied and pasted error out, etc.
Some pointers to guides that give me better context would be appreciated, so as not to clog the forum with newbie chatter, thanx, sam

Thanks for explaining why I couldn't determine this.
Thanks for the offer of explaining what I'm seeing with the basic API examples. The second one is here, from page 51, example 4.2 of the Adobe Acrobat SDK document:
// Create a new PDF document:
var newDoc = app.newDoc();
// Insert doc1.pdf:
newDoc.insertPages({
nPage: -1,
cPath: "Macintosh HD:tmp:1.pdf",
// Insert doc2.pdf:
newDoc.insertPages({
nPage: newDoc.numPages-1,
cPath: "Macintosh HD:tmp:2.pdf",
// Save the new document:
newDoc.saveAs({
cPath: "Macintosh HD:tmp:11.pdf";
// Close the new document without notifying the user:
newDoc.closeDoc(true);
SyntaxError: missing } after property list
13:Console:Exec
undefined
OK, counting lines it appears to be after the newDoc.close statement. But to my way of thinking all the braces, parentheses are closed.
I tried removing the returns after each cPath statement thinking perhaps I shouldn't have a return before the closing }); a long shot. Looking at my /tmp directory, I don't see a new pdf called 11.pdf.
Clearly, there's something basic I'm missing here that I'm unaware of the context, thanx, sam

  • How to create a PDF with markup enabled for Reader users?

    I have a bunch of Word 2007 documents containing project specs. I would like to be able to turn them into PDF documents that other people can markup using Reader. Is this possible?
    I tried using the built-in PDF output module. It creates a PDF document, but it is not enabled for comments.
    About halfway down on this comparison page,
         http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
    there is a row that says,
         "Review documents using familiar commenting tools such as sticky
         notes, highlighting, lines, shapes, and stamps"
    In the Reader column, there is a symbol in the Reader column that I guess is
    supposed to be some sort of half-full container or something. At the
    bottom, it says
         "When enabled by Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended."
    This seems to indicate that Acrobat Standard cannot create comment-enabled PDF documents, but either Pro or Pro Extended can. Is that correct?
    If I buy Acrobat Pro, will I be able to use it to create comment-enabled PDF documents from my Word 2007 documents?
    If so, how does it work? Will it convert the Word document? Will it convert the PDF document I create using the Word add-in? Can I invoke it from inside Word?
    Thanks

    It's very simple. Create your PDF from Word, open in Acrobat and use the Comments>Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. You cannot invoke it from within Word no.

  • What is the right stream for reading a styled text ?

    I'm trying to write a code for a text processing program..
    It has to have functions to save the document and reopen it...
    how ever I'm trying to find the right stream to deal with the styled text.
    I'll appretiate any help and would be greatful if some piece of code was attached as an example.

    There was a tutorial somewhere on how to write an rtf editor. It basiocally used a jeditorpane, filled it with rtf data and saved the files. RTF is plain text (7bit ascii), like html, but the code is harder to read and nearly impossible to edit manually.
    here is helloworld.rtf:{\rtf1\ansi\deff0\deftab720{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss MS Sans Serif;}{\f1\froman\fcharset2 Symbol;}{\f2\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset238 Arial;}{\f3\froman Times New Roman;}{\f4\fswiss\fprq2 Arial;}}

  • Reader not saving Rights Enabled Form

    I have a form created in Acrobat Pro. Rights have been enabled for reader and it will not save. I'm go crazy. It works on the station nest to me but not on all.
    I have tried several version of Reader too. 7, 8, 9.
    Anyone have any thoughts. Please!
    Thanks!

    Just to be sure, how do you know it is rights enabled (it would give you a message if it was when you open it)? Also, in the station next to you, are you sure it's actually being opened by Reader?
    Barring it not actually being enabled, transfer the file from that station to yours to be sure the file you have isn't corrupted and give it a shot. If it works on one, it should work on all the others running 7.5 and higher.
    If none of that works, is it a file that you can post here in public so we can take a look at it?

  • Outlook 2013 - Exchange 2013 - Prompts for username and password when EWS basic authentication is enabled

    So we have an Exchange 2013 environment, and a CRM solution that requires basic authentication to EWS internally.  Problem is, after a reboot of our Exchange server, all of our Outlook clients begin prompting for username and password (which nothing
    works) which also starts locking users AD accounts out due to failed login attempts (somehow).  If I disabled basic authentication on EWS, Outlook authenticates as normal using NTLM and there are no issues.  Once Outlook has authenticated, I can
    turn back on basic authentication, and Outlook will be fine until the next time the Exchange server is rebooted.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that Outlook client prompted for username and password when Exchange server restart and basic authentication is enabled for EWS.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    It’s normal. This caused by the difference between basic authentication and NTML authentication:
    Basic, with any version of Outlook prior to 2010, results in a pop up dialog asking for creds. Outlook 2010 makes the 'save this password' actually work, so in an Outlook 2010 or later world, Basic can mean no need to authenticate every time you open/reconnect,
    but in all earlier versions, you will have to enter creds every time.
    NTLM, when used by a client that is domain joined and logged in with cached creds, results in the client simply sending the cached in creds to the server, resulting in what looks like a pretty seamless single sign on experience. However, if you want to do pre-authentication
    at something like TMG, and not let the traffic go all the way to CAS, you need to configure TMG for this.
    Thanks

  • How can i save an article to read later?

    I have seen a tip that to save an article for reading later, a book icon which appears on the title bar should be long pressed, but the icon does not appear in my title bar at all, for me to be able to save. Please guide me. Thanks.

    Hello,
    For some sites, you just can't use this feature. It works best on sites that are articles-with mostly words on the page. So, that is why you can't use it on here (support forum) for example. Good only for sites with reading sections, but sometimes it just doesn't do it.

  • Can't reliably create a PDF enabled for commenting in Reader

    I've hit a brick wall trying to find out why my Acrobat Pro 7.0.8 is broken. As of yesterday, I cannot reliably create a PDF that is enabled for commenting in Reader. I get an error message: "You do not have permission to write to this file." However, this message is halfway false Acrobat does indeed create a PDF where I tell it to. It's just not a reviewable file, which you can tell when you re-open it and see the special dialog box that first pops in front of you, and there's a key/starburst icon in the lower left corner of the Acrobat window. So the resulting output file isn't really enabled, and I've made no progress.
    All I know is that before May 1st, this Acrobat Pro feature worked flawlessly every time I used it.
    I tested my own file on two other co-workers' PCs and they also cannot save my file as enabled for commenting. One of them has Acro. Pro 7.0.5 and the other one has Pro 7.0.9. Nor can they save other PDF files as enabled for commenting. But creating a short (one-line) PDF from Word or WordPad DOES work, and I can save that file as enabled for commenting.
    I tested a few of my existing PDFs: some of them can be output to the reviewable format without any problem, but some of the more recent ones I can't especially if they're larger. Even a Word file as small as 9 pages will not convert. I tried both printing it to the Adobe PDF printer as well as using PDFMaker. Neither one works on this file. But I was able to create reviewable PDFs from simple Word files and some older (April 2008 or earlier) Word files that were longer.
    I think some incompatibility happened because of the Windows updates that get silently shoved to our PCs every Tuesday (I work for a large company). But I could be wrong to blame Microsoft.
    Would the new Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 update fix this problem?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3948
    My system: Windows XP, Svc. Pack 2, Word 2003.

    After I removed the comma in the filenames of my problematic test files, this solution worked for me, too. I was able to again save the PDFs as enabled for commenting in Adobe Reader (to make them reviewable).
    Thank you, thank you!
    This definitely looks like a bug to me, because a comma IS allowed in filenames in both the PC Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

  • Adobe reader does not open usage right enabled files in Ubntu 8.0.4

    I have a series of pdf files with the usage right enabled in adobe acrobat.
    When I try to open them in linux Ubuntu 8.0.4 the adobe windows flashes for a second and the disappears. I tried to run the command in a terminal but it doesn't give me any error or warning message. I am just wondering if any one else has been able to resolve this issue.

    Thanks Farshid for sending the file.
    We have tried using the file you sent on multiple linux distributions with Linux Reader 8.1.2 but we're not able to replicate the issue you're facing. We've tried on Ubuntu 8.04 as well and haven't seen any issues.
    Could you share more information, includign the version of the reader youre' trying to use (you can see that at Help > About Adobe Reader).

  • Enabling for commenting in Reader problem

    Hi all, I have a strange problem right now, maybe someone here will be able to explain it to me.
    I have some PDF documents that have been "Enable for commenting in Adobe Reader" using Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro. If I open these files with Acrobat 7 Pro and I got in "File/Document Properties/Security" in the "Document Restriction Summary" section, the Commenting feature is set to "Allowed".
    Everything is just fine for now.
    BUT, if I open the same file in Adobe Reader 9 and I right-click in a page and Select "Properties" and go in the "Security" tab, the Commenting feature is now set to "Not Allowed"
    How can that be ? What could have happen so that Acrobat says that commenting is allowed and Reader says not ?
    Almost forgot to mention : those files were enabled for commenting using Acrobat 7 Pro in 2007. Other files which runs perfectly in reader 9 were enabled with Acrobat 7 Pro but in 2008 So could it only be because there was an update during that time period that would have change the way that files were enabled for commenting ?
    Thanks for your help.

  • 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?
