Enabling Usage Rights for Adobe Reader | Acrobat Tips and Tricks | Adobe TV

This video shows you how to take a PDF document and grant rights to Adobe Reader users. Also included, the Adobe Acrobat versions needed to enable these rights.

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?

  • 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.
    Regards,

  • Enabling Usage Rights for End User with Reader

    When I "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader," utilizing Adobe

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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;

  • Comparing two PDF documents | Acrobat Tips and Tricks | Adobe TV

    This video will get you started with using the improved Compare Documents command in Acrobat 9 to identify what has changed between two versions of a PDF file.
    http://adobe.ly/xqvrc7

    Hi there. Thanks for the video. But is there a feature to move among the found differences? Or to show ONLY the differences? In a large document, it's not enough to just "look for" the color-coded differences.
    I have not found any such features on viewing a compared doc. I've also looked in the help and now am looking to see if other resources discussing PDF compare might show it. Thanks for any thoughts.
