Document Restrictions Differ When Opened with Reader

I've created a form with fields with Adobe Pro 9 and saved it with "No Security" saved as the security method. I can save, print, comment, etc. when I open the file with Pro 9. If I open it in Reader 9, the following is listed as "Not Allowed":
Document Assembly
Commenting
Signing
Creation of Template Pages
I also cannot save a copy of the completed form. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Reader can't do any of those things unless the document has been specially enabled first so that's why security says that.
If you want them to be able to comment, you would use Comments>Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. They will then be able to use the commenting tools and save the results.
There is no way to alow them to do any document assembly or template pages. That's what Acrobat is for.
If you would like them to be able to fill out and save a form, you would use Advanced>Extend Feature in Adobe Reader.
Keep in mind you can either enable commenting or enable form saving but not both at once.

Pages 5.2 documents unsuccessfully try to open with old version 4.3

I understand that I have two version of pages, new (5.2) and old (4.3), with separate icons in my Applications folder.
The way it has been working is this:
• If I opened an document created with Pages 4, it prompted me to automatically update with Pages 5.
• Documents created with the new Pages 5 could be opened, as expected, by just double clicking. The document would pop open with Pages 5.
Now, for some reason this is happening:
• When I try to open a document created with Pages 5 by double clicking I get the message: "You need a newer version of Pages." If I right click the document I can select "open with." The window show "Pages (default) (5.2)" at the top and Pages (4.3) right below. I select "Pages (default) (5.2)" and the document opens. It seems that my comuter is using the old version of Pages as the default, even though, according to the "open with" window, Pages 5.2 is the default.
• When I open a document created with the old version, it opens using the old version and no longer prompts me to update it to the new version.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions.

Try this. Select (but don't open) a document created with the new Pages. Press Command-I. Under "Open with", select Pages 5.2. Click on "Change All".
An alternative to try is to move the old Pages app to another folder. Do not delete the old Pages - you may need it later!
Be aware that once a document is converted to the new Pages format it will not open with the old Pages (unless you specifically export it in old Pages format). I mention this because the new Pages lacks features found in the old version and this might be a problem for you.

PDF file from Outlook folder created with Standard X not opened with Reader XI _ Flash issue ?

Dear Community,
I tried to fix this issue but i have to admit i'm stuck right now :
Computer on windows 7 SP1 with Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Standard X installed.
On Outlook 2010, I convert a folder to a PDF file so i can navigate offline and share the mails with colleagues.
At the end of the conversion, Adobe Standard X opens and all the tree architecture of the PDf is available, browse in all files, open attached documents...
But as soon as, on my computer or on other computer only with Reader XI, the PDF file (whatever it's size and number of mails inside) is to be opened with Reader, there's a message saying that flash player compatible with Adobe Reader and Acrobat as to be installed.
There's no precision regarding the flash version to use, and clicking on the link to open web browser, no page is opened (no internet issue).
After 1 minute, Reader finnally opens but only displaying the first file of the PDF (in my case the first mail of the outlook folder).
i have the latest flash player version installed
Can anybody tell me if this problem is known ? or if someone knows how to fix it so the pdf file can be fully used in Reader ??
Many thanks for your help.
Regards
AppleAddict

Hi Kiro ,
Did you try opening that file in any other browser ?If not ,please try doing that once and see if that works for you.
Try Repairing Acrobat once and see if that helps.
Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help>Repair Acrobat Installation.

Wrong warning? to open with Reader (9.3.x or higher) "This PDF form requires a newer version of ..."

Hello
I have a problem with my form, when opened with Adobe Reader Version 9.3.0.148 (included) or higher Reader systematically shows the annoying message "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader ...".
I work with 3 versions of each form:
1) Dynamic PDF Form XDP: Generated with Adobe Designer ES 8.2, (target version "Acrobat and Adobe Reader 8.0 or later. "
XDP form has no "Warings"
XFA-Template:
2) PDF Form, generated from the XDP form of point 1), using Adobe LC Forms ES2 "renderXDPForm" method.
3) Flatten PDF, generated from the PDF form, resulting in point 2) value, using Adobe LC Assembler ES2.
DDX:
I have generated 3 different PDF rendering, changing only the "target version":
a.1 PDFFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion (AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_6): MyForm-ES-AcroVersion6.pdf.
b.1 PDFFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion (AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_7_0_5): MyForm-ES-AcroVersion7.pdf
c.1 PDFFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion (AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_8): MyForm-ES-AcroVersion8.pdf
Of all that I've created a flat version using Assembler:
a.2: MyForm-ES-AcroVersion6-flatten.pdf
b.2: MyForm-ES-AcroVersion7-flatten.pdf
c.2: MyForm-ES-AcroVersion8-flatten.pdf
Attach all forms of work[zip 4 download].
Well ... I tried to open all forms generated (six) with versions of Adobe Reader from 8.1.0 to 10.0.1.434 X and the findings are that the annoying warning message is displayed only with the flattened forms and from version 9.3 .0.148 (included) or higher.
Table of test, where
OK= No message at open.
Err= Message displayed.
I do not understand or just logical that the most current versions (and higher) Reader is precisely this message to appear at what may be due? What's happening?
Why the message is taught only in the flattened forms?
How I can solve this problem?
Thanks.

I do not use the method "renderPDFForm" (at least not explicitly), instead use the "renderXDPForm (...)".
I added the XDP form the zip (I forgot): download from here!
And the only parameter that you can tell this method over the "target" of the resulting PDF is "com.adobe.idp.services.PDFFormRenderSpec. "
/* Common to all generated PDF */
com.adobe.idp.services.PDFFormRenderSpec renderSpec= new com.adobe.idp.services.PDFFormRenderSpec();
renderSpec.setLinearizedPDF(true);
renderSpec.setLocale("es_ES");
renderSpec.setRenderAtClient(RenderAtClient.No);
renderSpec.setCacheEnabled(false);
renderSpec.setStandAlone(true);
/* Target version 8 o superior: Usede ONLY to generate "MyForm-ES-AcroVersion8.pdf" */
renderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_8);
/* Target version 7.0.5 o superior: Usede ONLY to generate "MyForm-ES-AcroVersion7.pdf" */
renderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_7_0_5);
/* Target version 6 o superior: Usede ONLY to generate "MyForm-ES-AcroVersion6.pdf" */
renderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_6);
After this, process PDF forms resulting in Assembler.
I tried also NO explicitly assign the "AcroVersion" ... and in such cases, the resulting AcroVersion indicated corresponds to the time of design (Adobe Designer, File / Form Properties / Default / Target Version), and in such cases the resulting PDF, also displays the warning message.
I do not know if I answered your question.
Any idea?

Saved PDF files in Illustrator not showing when opened in Reader

I'm having a problem with files saved as PDFs in Illustrator, which, when opened in Reader
reveal only a blank page. Any solutions?

Thanks for your response. It doesn't seem to matter which layer is higher in the stack. I also checked that each layer was set to "print". I think the problem is on the Mathematica side --- the problem I have arises with pdf graphics generated in Mathematica 8, but not in 9. Hmm.

Whenever I double click on any htm or html document it will not open with firefox it gives a message window saying "Windows can not file path please type correctly" (not extact these words)

I installed new version 4. Whenever I double click on any htm or html document it will not open with firefox it gives a message window saying "Windows can not file path please type correctly" (not extact these words) .. It was working when old firefox was there..

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

Why do Word Documents get distorted when opened in Pages?

Yes. They don't make any sense to me either. Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

Hi Steve,
Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

Trying to converting fillable word documents to fillable pdf-when opening in Reader, no longer fillable

I am converting fillable word documents (set up as tables with protection activated) into fillable pdf forms using LiveCycle but am having problems once I try to open them in Adobe Reader 9.2. I am unable to save the pdf as dynamic (the only option is static). They are no longer fillable and show "You are viewing this document in PDF/A mode". Any advise...what am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I check my settings and I don't ask a PDF/A files. It's a PDF standard.
Have someone a solution ?
Thanks a lot for your help

.tif files wouldn't open with Reader XI. It said they weren't supported or were damaged. I uninstalled readerXI and installed Reader DC and it still doesn't work. When I send them to another computer, they open without any problems. What can I do next?

Reader XI would not open several files. It said .tif was not a supported file type or it was damaged. I uninstalled Reader XI and installed Reader DC with the same results. When sent to another computer, they open with no problems. What do I do next?

The other computer must have something that opens .tif files. Adobe Reader has always only opened .pdf files.
If you are double clicking on a .pdf and Reader is trying to open the file, you need to set your systems file associations for the proper program to open that file type.

Certain documents crash Pages when opened, unable to recover full file

On multiple occasions, I have had a document on Pages that I had made numerous revisions to, and saved to iCloud. However, when opening them, all I am greeted by is a very early draft of the document. If I attempt to scroll down past this to the next page, I can see, briefly, parts from the longer final draft, but immediately after this the app crashes.
This has happened with three separate documents, and with each one, I am unable to export or download the final draft as it was when I had last saved it, neither from my iPad nor on the desktop through iCloud.com. All of these were important assignments, and for the first two I simply had to retype then from scratch. I would prefer not to do this a third time, so I would be incredibly grateful for a solution that allows me to recover it in full. Thanks!

Is this on the iPad or on a Mac? This forum is for Pages on Macs. There are forums for iWork on iOs resp. iCloud.

Pdf file won't open with Reader Touch

I have a new Nokia 2520 , Windows rt 8.1, with Reader Touch, and can't open a pdf file. I have opened other pdfs. And I have opened this file on my laptop. Any suggestions. Just got off the phone with Adobe support and they denied me help because Adobe does not offer help for tablets. Unbelievable. I've noticed the documents I can't open all originiated as a fill in form. Maybebe that has something to do with it. I can open all other pdf type files. Frustrating. Please help.

Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

Color change when opening in Reader

Hi, I created a PDF in Photoshop. I then added an editable field in Acrobat, using the same RGBs. When I open the file in Reader, the color of the editable field does not match. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? I have the most recent version of Acrobat and Reader.
Thanks,
Jackie

Here is a screen shot of the reader PDF, followed by the original file in Acrobat. You can see that the entire document color changed when I opened it in Reader.
THanks,

Specify author name for annotations when opening Adobe Reader

Hi !
I need to specify the author name (for annotations) programatically each time I open Adobe Reader from my application. Is that possible and if yes, how ?
Here is how I open Adobe Reader in my application :
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.adobe.reader", "com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(doc), "application/pdf");
startActivity(intent);
catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityNotFoundException) {
activityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
If not possible, where does Adobe Reader stores its parameters ? Maybe I can change them before opening it ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
Zab

The application I'm developping needs to be able to allow its users to open existing pdf files and annotate them with the username they've given when logging into the application. Unfortunately, I've not found any satisfying library to edit existing pdf files on Android nor in AIR for Android. I'm thus trying to call Adobe Reader from my application (this I can do) and set the author name for annotations...
I've found that Adobe Reader stores the author name in /data/data/com.adobe.reader/shared_prefs/com.adobe.reader.preferences.xml
Knowing that my application will run on rooted Android tabs, do you think it would be posssible to modify this file each time before launching Adobe Reader from my application (could be a dirty workaround but still a workaround) ?
