Enable reader extended feature

How do I enable the extended feature in my Adobe Reader? As I am having problems editing my forms.
Thanks.

The extended features are applied to a file, not to the entire application. This needs to be done in Acrobat, not in Reader.

Reader Extended Features not available in downloaded PDF

I've posted a form on my website with Reader Extended Features enabled so it can be "Ink Signed". Finding that the extended features are not available in browser Reader plugins, I created a link to the PDF with PHP that allows it to be downloaded, then opened with the standalone version of Reader, but still get the message "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document." If I open my original local copy of the PDF it still has Extended Features enabled. What's changing in the downloaded copy?
Created in Acrobat Pro 9, opened in Reader 9.3.4
Thanks for any insight.

Bernd--thanks for your interest. I found that the problem was the PHP script that I was using to force the PDF to download instead of open in the browser plugin. I used several variations of the script with the same results--seemed to be altering the contents of the PDF which cancelled the Reader Extended Features. A solution that I found was to add
<FilesMatch "\.(pdf)$">
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>
to the .htaccess file. Since I only wanted one PDF (not all of them on the site) to be affected, I put it and the .htaccess file in a subdirectory and linked to it there. The PDF now downloads with Reader Extended Features intact.

Reader Extend Feature for sign document

If you like to sign the PDF document in Reader, please apply Reader Extend feature from Acrobat product first and save the file, and then you can sign the document in Reader.
Some user will sign the document first and apply Reader Extend feature later, this workflow will break the sign workflow.
Thanks for Acrobat product customers to use the product and give us this useful feedback.

Something happened to the file after the time that it was Reader-enabled. It was modified in a way that invalidates the digital signature that controls whether the usage rights are valid. I seem to recall the GoLive can be configured to modify (optimize somehow?) PDFs when it uploads them, and you definately don't want this to happen for Reader-enabled documents. I don't have GoLive, so I can't check what setting it is, but you should be able to look for yourself. A workaround would be to upload via some other means, such as FTP. I'd be interested to know if this makes a difference.

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!

Acrobat Pro won't allow to save with Reader Extended Features

I've saved forms this way before because all the users of our forms only have the free Reader version. For some reason it now won't allow me to save with the extended features. When I save as and hover over "Reader Extended PDF" it shows my 3 options but none of them are clickable. I don't know why it has saved before, but it won't now.
I also have a secondary issue. A form I previously, successfully saved this way is now not working for one of the users. It won't allow her to save the information she inputs. To my knowledge it has not been changed and it has only been used by a few people. Why would it suddenly stop allowing her to save?
I am working on a Mac, but the users are all on PC's. I've never had this be an issue before though.

Be sure you're not in form editing mode when you attempt to enable the document.
Regarding not being able to save with Reader after initially being able to, this has been reported before many times but the casue is often elusive. The document has somehow changed in a way that prevents the usage rights from being validated. This is not supposed to happen, but it does.

Acrobat Pro 9 Extend features to reader

My question is simple.
When I create a pdf in Microsoft Word 2007 using the acrobat add in, how do I "extend the features to reader" on the pdf I'm creating to allow other to comment and/or markup?
Or do I have to create the pdf from the word document in Acrobat itself to enable the extended features?
Please help, I'm going insane.

Hope this helps!!!
Open the PDF and choose Comments > Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Adobe Reader.

Can't open a reader extended pdf in IE

I have a form that was originally a word document and then converted to a pdf. I used Acrobat X Pro to create form fields and then saved it as a reader extended pdf with enabled additional features. I uploaded it to my web server and it opens fine in Google Chrome & Firefox, but when I try to open it with internet explorer I get a Runtime Error! message.
I uploaded it without the reader extended features and had the same result. I then uploaded the original converted pdf before I added the form fields and it opens fine in internet explorer. I am using Windows 7 and IE 8. I checked with someone using XP and IE 8 and they were able to open it with no problems. Not sure about Vista, but it seems there is something with Windows 7 using IE 8 and the form fields that is causing the problem. Can anyone help?
thanks

i forgot to add the links to the pages.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Experts,
We are facing a problem while opening a PDF form that is editable. get below error message:
The Document Enabled Extended Features in Adobe Reader, The document has been changed since it was created & use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of the document.
Our requirement is like we received a PDF template from client. we added an image field by using Adobe LiveCycle designer to achieve user signature on the field & save the PDF form, once signature field is added; PDF form is opened in Adobe Acrobat X pro to enable readers extensions (open PDF form in Adobe Acrobat X pro -> File -> Save As - > Readers Extended PDF -> Enable Additional features.).
Once this reader Enabled PDF form is uploaded in sharepoint Document library where from user can download this form on their local, open this PDF form is opened in Adobe Reader on their local system the Above mentioned message appears.
Here we are using trial version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Can you please confirm if this error is because of this trial version? or some alternate approch.
Thanks,
Ram

This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed...

I am trying to distribute an interactive order form to approx. 50 recipients with Acrobat X Standard which I purchased recently. Computer is Windows 7.
I can go through the form editing and distribution as usual, but when I (or a recipient) opens up the distributed form with Adobe Reader, they get the message: “This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.”
Oddly enough, sometimes is does work, but 90% of the time it doesn’t.
And I have another, older XP computer with Acrobat X installed, and it works fine 100% of the time – weird....can anyone help?

Hi Ken
We have so many people who have not updated they are trying on 9. I might just have to tell them we can’t support under reader 10.
Thanks
Tania

How to enable Extended Features in Reader 10

I have pdf forms that were created in Acrobat 8 Pro. Users could change the fields on the forms and save them. Our Enterprise has since "upgraded" to Reader 10. Users can longer make changes in the fields of the forms created in v.8 Pro. I have read the solution in this forum to this issue, which is:
"To Reader-enable a document in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
Do this as the final step when preparing the document to be sent out."
However, I do not have File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF. Under the File > Save As menu, I only have PDF or Text, not Reader Extended. So how can I fix these pdf's so users can edit the fields and save them? We have hundreds of these documents we need to edit then save. Many thanks.

If your menu only says "PDF" and "Text" you're in Adobe Reader, not Acrobat.

How can I extend features and enable typewriter tool in Adobe Reader

Hello,
I have forms that I need users to be able to complete and save, but they also need to be able to use the typewriter tool to type stuff in areas of forms that don't have fields. Is this possible? If I enable the typewriter, I can't extend features and vice-versa...

It's one or the other. Not both.
