Enable User Rights In Adobe Reader is greyed out in Adobe 8

I want the ability to save my fillable forms. The user guide tells me to goto Advanced > Enable User Rights In Adobe Reader.
That option is greyed out in my Adobe Acrobat. Can't figure out why. Need some pointers.

In that case you will have to start over and use the form fields in Acrobat, not Designer. I do not use Designer, so I can not say if you have just missed it or not. I am sure others will stop by and say if it is available in Designer. Bill

Acrobat 8 Form - "This Operation Not Permitted" error when enable user rights and open Reader X

I have a form which is causing me fits. It was created from an existing PDF form to which I added data fields using LifeCyele Designer.
When I enable user rights to the document and try to open it in either Adobe Reader X or Acrobat 8 Pro I get the message "This operation is not permitted" twice. Once I get rid of the messages the form works fine.
Is there a way to upload the form to this forum for someone to look at it?
With my limited knowledge, I did try to investigate embeded font issues and hidden object issues. But after much work I've not gotten much closer to a resolution.
Best,
David

You cannot upload the file to the forum, but you can use Acrobat.com or Dropbox if you have an account. If you ha e no other options I'd be happy to take a look: acroscript at gmail dot com

Adobe Reader XI Greyed out after upgrade

Hi, I need help. My mom's MacBook Pro running OS X Lion 10.7.5 stopped opening PDF's in browser (Safari) after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI. The Reader is greyed out in the corner and while the PDF will open in browser, it is a garbled mess of code.

Fixed it! After much internet searching I realized I was asking the wrong question. It's not about the "Reader" button being grayed out as some PDF's were open in Safari and the Reader button WAS blue. It was about a particular plug-in from adobe. It's an Adobe issue. Go to Library/internet plug ins and delete the plug in Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
That solved my problem!

Enable User Rights in Adobe: how to always have that on?

I finally figured out why most PC users were not able to save any of the fields they filled out in my PDFs: I didn't know about the user rights feature.
Is there a way to always "Enable User Rights in Reader" to be turned on, so I don't have to remember to go the Advanced menu and select "Enable User Rights In Acrobat Reader" ?
Many thanks!

> It took years, and years, and years of beging and pleading. And Adobe finally threw us a Bone.
Yes. And then poisioned it with this ridiculous and undecipherable license limitation.
> ...you would presumably know which users sent you a PDF that you enabled with Acrobat.
The mumbo-jumbo seems to assume the use of saveable forms is always for data collection, sent back to the form's creator. That is the use of
least interest to me.
For me, it's all about creating a design-intensive document
once (a placement ad or a marketing flyer or a spec sheet), adding a few simple boiler-plate fields to it for contact information, and sending it to my client, who then sends it to his dealers. Each dealer can then edit the contact info, save it, have it printed or placed in a newspaper, use it for trade show hand-outs.
How is the creator of such a document supposed to police the 500 "uses" limit? Who is liable when that limit is exceeded? What constitutes a single "use"? (I only used the file once. The client only used the file once. Each Dealer will
edit the form content once, but may have it printed in 501 local newspapers.)
The terms are unintelligible and probably unenforceable. This confusion has existed ever since Adobe finally threw the bone. The stupid paranoia poison just needs to be removed.

Upgrading to Acrobat Pro XI / Adobe Reader XI and enabling user rights

My company is a little behind on software updates and I'm going to ask for Adobe Reader XI to pushed out company wide since allows the user to save a filled-in PDF form.
Right now I'm using Acrobat Pro X, and suspect I will need to upgrade as well.
My questions are:
With the new-found ability of Reader to finally be able to save a filled in form, how does this effect the "enabling user rights" scenario?
Is it needed if the entire company is using Adobe Reader XI?
I did a test in Adobe Reader XI, and sure enough, I was able to save a filled-in form...BUT, I could not digitally sign the form.
Is this where the enabling user rights is still mandatory?
Or is this because the form was designed in Acrobat Pro X?
Does Acrobat Pro XI work around this?
I know I don't need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro XI to continue making forms, but should I?
Thanks for your feed back, and I look forward to reading your replies

Thank you, George, for the prompt reply!
I suspected as much, but couldn't find a clear cut answer in my searches.
The tab order update alone has convinced me its worth pushing for the new Acrobat Pro XI.
The update to Adobe Reader XI will make many of our forms easier to get into the digital workflow, and I'm looking forward to getting use further away from a paper-based system

Enable User Rights In Adobe Reader using Acrobat X

Hello,
I just upgraded to Acrobat X Pro from Acrobat Pro 9 and I'm still getting familiar with it. I need to Enable User Rights In Adobe Reader but I noticed that the tool bar does not have the "Advanced" option where Acrobat Pro 9 has it.
Can you please tell me how to go about it.
Thank you much!!!

How do you remove User Rights from a documnet in Acrobat X? I can't edit my Javascript in Acrobat X and I believe thi is the reason why. Thanks

Advanced menu - Enable User Rights in Adobe Reader

Hello,
Where in the "Advanced" drop down list can I find
Advanced menu - Enable User Rights in Adobe Reader.
I would like to send a form to more than 500 people who will need to save it to their desktop, fill out the designated text boxes, save it again, and then email it back to me. I have the form saved in Adobe Acrobat Standard 8. Guidance would be appreciated.

It is against the license for you to retrieve the information from more than 500 people. You need to purchase a Livecycle product to do what you want.

Remove previous versions of Reader greyed out in Adobe Customization Wizard 9

Hi everyone. I'm trying to make an SMS pushable custom MSI with the Adobe Customization Wizard 9, to roll out Acrobat Reader 9 to all my PCs. The big reason i wanted to use the ACW9 was so I could force it to uninstall all the old versions of Reader on my computers, which i have a lot of different versions of 7 and 8 out there. When I go to the screen in ACW9, the option to remove previous versions of Reader is greyed out and unchecked, and the rmeove previous versions of Acrobat is greyed out and checked (which is what i dont want to do). Any ideas how to get this to work right? I have both older versions of Reader and Acrobat Pro on my computer i'm using to build it, so it isn't that.

It doesn't seem Adobe really cares about supporting IT personnel. Thanks for a tool that doesn't work properly and you provide no support for.
What I've found is that it will remove previous Acrobat reader versions! So it's not harmless when that option is checked and greyed out.

Save a Copy with enabled user rights

I have a form that has user rights enabled. I sometimes get calls from providers that they can no longer enter information on the form. They have the most current version of Acrobat Reader. My suspicion is that when they save the form they are using Save a Copy instead of Save or Save As.
I know if you have a document that has security and enabled user rights that you have to Save a Copy and then change the document security.
By using Save a Copy does that remove the enabled user rights to the document which is causing Acrobat Reader not to be able to enter information into the document?
Is there a way to disable Save a Copy on the form?
Thanks
Carol

While a script would probably be best, photoshop 7 requires
you download a scripting plugin which may or may not install
in photoshop 7 depending on your version.
You can probably do what you want with actions. The file naming part
is not hard, but i have a couple of questions about the cropping.
Are all the images the same size and are the crops in the same position for each?
In other words on the P crop (200x250), is the crop in the same position on each
image or different for each?

Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out?

Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out at 64 percent on Windows XP?
I am currently running version 9.5.2.
Does anyone have a solution please.

Hi,
This "timeout at 64%" issue has been reported more than a few times here.
You can try direct download from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
If you can dedicate some time and help to investigate the issue, here is what I would ask:
Before trying the link I have provided, can you please enable verbose MSI logging and try to install Reader the way you did originally - I assume that you used Adobe.com, right?
If it fails again at 64%, please find the latest MSIxxxxx.log file in the Temp folder and send it to me.
To enable Windows Installer logging
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300
...open the registry with Regedit.exe and create the following path and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmupx
The Temp folder on Windows XP is
C:\Documents and Settings\[YourUserName]\Local Settings\Temp

When trying to open pdf from Inbox, it opens Adobe Reader X instead of my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

It seems my Windows Vista pc did an update on Adobe. Now when I open a pdf i receive via email, it automatically opens a
program called Adobe Reader X instead of my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. How do I force my system to open Pro instead of X? I want to make edits and stuff to the pdfs, but X doesn't have the capabilities as Pro. I'm thinking X is a Reader version?
Using Vista, i cannot find the option in Files to force all PDFs to be opened with Pro.
Help!

This is from the Windows Vista help menu:
If you double-click a file in Windows and it opens in the wrong software program, follow these steps to choose the program you would prefer that file use. You can change this setting for an individual file, or you can tell Windows to open all files of that same type in the software program you choose.
Open the folder that contains the file you want to change.
Right-click the file that you want to change, and then, depending on the type of file, either click Open With or point to Open With and then click Choose Default Program.
Click the program that you want to use to open this file.
Do one of the following:
If you want all files of that type to open in the same software program, select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.
If you want only that file to open in the software program this one time, clear the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.

"Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" is greyed out in CS6.

In Adobe Premiere CS6, "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" is greyed out. How can I change that? I have Adobe Audition CS6 installed as well. I have Production Premium CS6.

I've solved it.
Here's what I did:
1) Put in my Adobe CS6 Production Premium install discs and re-installed the programs that I had chosen. All of them (except for the 32-bit versions of software that was available in 64-bit).
2) Let all of the programs finish the install. I believe that Premiere needs Audition to be installed first, so that it recognizes that it's there, and that's a natural progression when installing all of Production Premium.
3) That's it. I opened Premiere, and found that it could connect with Audition.
