Enable User Rights using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7

I created an editable PDF form using LifeCycle Designer 7.0.  My goal is to have users fill out the form and email the actual filled out form not the XML code. I added a regualr button with the following java script.
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Submitted Form&body=Please find attached the completed form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
Show = Click
Language = JavaScript
Run At = Client
When I test the button in Adobe Professional or in LifeCycle the button works fine.  However when I open the file in Reader 9, it does not work.  I do not encuonter any error messages.  Nothing happens when you click on the button.  I thought that users rights need to be enabled in order for it to work.  Unfortunately I do not see how to do this Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.  I do not have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.  Any ideas on what I can do to correct this issue?

For Reader users and AA7, your only choice is to have the XML file submitted. Then simply open the form in Acrobat and import the XML data file to fill the form. This will be exactly what the user saw when they submitted it. Thus there is no need to submit the entire form.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem in creating PDF of Website using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.

      I am trying to create PDF file of full website using "Create PDF from Web Page..." option, in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.
    It is creating PDF but the page alignments/text/images alignments are lost and doesn't look good.
    Can any one help to create the PDF same as webpage look and feel.
    Thanks.

    Acrobat 8's HTML->PDF engine is quite old and doesn't work well with modern web pages. I'd recommend trying the same page using Acrobat X (trial available) where the engine has been replaced and modernized.

  • How to delete checkbox in pdf form using adobe acrobat professional 6.

    I  am trying to modify a pdf form having a single layer. There are some checkboxes which i want to delete. I am using Adobe acrobat 6 professional. USing Advanced Editing tools -> Touchup Object Tool , i have try to delete the checkbox, it deletes all fields and tables in the form and there is only text left on the form. Any help would be appreciated. . Thanks@

    You do not use the "Object Tool" to edit forms. There should be a "Form" menu option and under this option you will have the opton "Edit form in Acrobat". This is the way one should edit/create a form in Acrobat.

  • Could not get exact contents from pdf using adobe acrobat professional

    Hi,
    I am using acrobat professional to extract contents from a pdf into HTML. During extraction of pdf into HTML some contents are getting rendered as images. But with pdf to xml extraction i can get the exact contents. But i need HTML file from pdf. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    You might want to see if you can select the background with the object touchup tool. If so, can you then just delete the selected object. May take a while to go through the document, but if it solves the problem you are ahead. You may be able to select it with JavaScript and repeat the process. My point of using the object touchup tool is that it may not be a background set by Acrobat, but something that is simply labeled as an image from the Acrobat viewpoint.

  • Using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7

    Hello everyone,
        I am trying to make a pdf document from different scanning of my work. Some are text and some are art work, in either case, the material in each page is not centered it, and not all pages are the same size for some reason, even though I scanned all with the same same scanner with same page layout. I would like to center the work (not interested in OCR) and would like to have all pages have the same size. I found how to do each page separately, but I have over 300 pages, so I was hopping there would be a "master"  document properties.
    Your help is greatly appreciated,

  • Scaling Photos in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0

    Using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 - Adobe Designer
    When creating a form:
    Is it possible to scale a photo within a designated box (Position Content) so that it fills the box without distorting/stretching the photo?
    If so, can you then move the photo within the designated box (Position Content)to position it?

    You can name them all Check Box 1 but you must assign a different Value to each on. Like a "Yes", "No" value in the Options Export Value. This will force the user to check only 1 of the boxes.

  • Does Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 works fine on Windows 2008 64-bit R2 server?

    Hi,
    Currently, we use Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1 on Windows 2003 server.  We mainly use the Distiller to convert PDF files.
    If we migrate the 2003 server to Windows 2008 64-bit R2 server, does version 8.1 works fine?
    If not, which version support Windows 2008 64-bit R2 server?
    Appreciate to have a feedback.

    As long as you are looking to use it for local use only, and not as part of the server, I suspect it does work. AA X is the first that was certified for operation on Server 2008, but still only for local use. Any server use is a violation of the license. If you have Server 2008, why not just try it -- but be sure to abide with the license. Be sure to install the updates with the 64-bit system.

  • Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 Problem

    I installed CS3 on my MacBook about a month ago. When I try to view something using Adobe Acrobat Professional, it comes up but then it goes away and a box says I need to open up at least one more Adobe program for it to work. Even if I try opening Photoshop or Illustrator or something, it still won't work. Any help would be appreciated!

    Acrobat is not an Apple product. You should post your question on Adobe's forums:

  • 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 Commenting Tools in Adobe Acrobat under Browser Plug-in in Internet Explorer using

    We have a problem in showing commenting tools in Adobe Acrobat under browser plug-in in Internet Explorer.  Adobe Support cannot answer my question and refer me to Devnet here.
    Our system is using browser plug-in to display PDF file by Acrobat under > > Internet Explorer (document viewer). The PDF documents have reader extension enabled.
    We supposed that if a PDF page is viewed and I customize the toolbar, the same toolbar and icon will be displayed next time when I retrieve a page, only if I select "Review and Comment" icon, and it only applies for v8.0.0. If I do not select review and comment icon, or I have selected review and comment icon but > > use other version of 8.x, my selected toolbar and icon cannot reappear next time.
    If my selected toolbar and icon do not appear, I can press F8 to hide the icons. If press F8 again to unhide the icons, all my selected icons can be shown this time. But it does not automatically re-appear if I open another documet viewer.
    Kindly note that all PDF files have reader extension enabled, and only Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional is used in client PC. There is no Adobe Reader in the PC. The PDF version is 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) or 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x). The user has comment rights since the PDF file has reader extension and Acrobat 8.0.0 is used. User has no problem in mark-up the PDF files, but has problem in showing the selected tools.
    OS: Windows 2000 SP4
    Browser: IE 6.0 SP1
    Acrobat version: Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional
    PDF version: 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) or 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
    Steps to produce the problem.
    1. Scan paper document and create a batch of PDF files (one page per file)
    2. Enable reader extension for all PDF files by LifeCycle.
    3. Put the PDF files into a web based interface, entering a page number will open a new web browser which interface the browser plug-in and display the content of the imaged PDF file by Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0.
    4. Open a page. It only show a few icons on toolbar (see a.png).
    5. Select the commenting icons to be shown (do not enabled in "review and comment)".  The icons will be shown.
    6. If the browser is closed, then use the web interface to open another page, the selected tools cannot be shown (same as a.png attached in my previous email).
    7. Select "review and comment" tool. (see b.png attached in my previous email)
    8. The selected tools are shown again (see c.png attached in my previous email).
    9. Close the browser, use the web interface to open another page, the selected tools are still here.
    10. Unselect "review and comment", the selected tools will be hidden next time when a page is opened by the web interface.
    11. Close the browser, and open a new page in web interface, the PDF file will be shown, and the selected icons are hidden.
    12. Press F8 to hide icons, all tools are hidden.
    13. Press F8 to unhide icons, all selected tools that are not shown in step 11 are shown again
    14. If Acrobat 8.0.0 is patched or updated, "review and comment" tool has no effect in "memorizing" the selected tools.

    That option is nothing to do with the PDF being editable, it's to control the display of the toolbars. "Reading Mode" is when the toolbars are hidden and the black head-up display navigation bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
    PDFs displayed within a web browser with Acrobat/Reader X are not editable, nor can you apply markups, unless you're within a browser-based-review workflow. You have to save a copy locally and open it in desktop mode to make any changes.
