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.

  • 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?  

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Enabling Usage Rights for Web Service and Database connectivity

    We are looking for code that allows us to enable web service and database connectivity rights into a form. We are using LiveCycle Forms 7.2 to render the XDP and merge data. Because we are merging data into the form, it has to be reader enabled through the  code everytime it is presented to the user in our application.
    usageRights[0] = com.adobe.document.pdf.DOCUMENT_SAVE.value;
    usageRights[1] = com.adobe.document.pdf.FORM_FILL_IN.value;
    usageRights[2] = com.adobe.document.pdf.FORM_EXPORT.value;
    usageRights[3] = com.adobe.document.pdf.FORM_IMPORT.value;
    usageRights[4] = com.adobe.document.pdf.FORM_ONLINE.value;

  • Save and File Attachment usage rights for adobe reader

    With Acrobat Pro is there any way to save a pdf that has both save usage rights and file attachment usage rights?
    It seems that if I save the pdf with save the form data usage rights then I can no longer use createDataObject or setDataObjectContents methods when viewing with adobe reader or acrobat.
    createDataObject and setDataObjectContents require 'File Attachment' usage rights, which from the behavior I am getting totally disjoint from the save usage rights.
    I have no trouble using submitForm method with save usage rights applied to the pdf.

    Thanks for the replies, I also want to verify that a pdf created with acrobat that uses createDataObject or setDataObjectContents will no longer function properly in acrobat after saving the pdf with the additional usage permissions.  Is there any documentation that points to what  functions are crippled by saving the pdf with the various choices of  extensions enabled?  It seems as if I save the pdf with any type of extended usage rights for reader, then the pdf functions as if it was opened by adobe reader even if I have it open in acrobat?

  • Enable "Save" rights for Reader using LC Server

    Hello All,
    To enable the "Save" rights for Reader I can use Acrobat Pro menu option Advanced -> Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader...
    What is the option in Reader Extensions console that maps to this right? Also, what service would this map to in Reader Extension WSDL?
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    If that is the case please let me know if the following mapping between RE webservice and RE browser UI is correct.

    This will help decide the correct WS call.

  • 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.

  • 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 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:
