Enabling Usage Rights In A Form Created In Older LC, But Updated In Newer Version of LC

Has anyone run into the situation where updates have been made in a form that was originally created in an older version of LC with a newer version not enabling the usage rights for Reader? I have a form that I created that was done in an older version, and I recently needed to make updates to it, and I now have Adobe Pro X. Anyone who has Adobe Standard or higher can access the form and fill it out, but if someone only has Reader, they really cannot do anything with it. It has created a problem in my office. Once we figured out what was going on, I had to find someone with Adobe Pro 8 to pull up the form and enable the usage rights in Reader. I'm really hoping it is that I am missing something, but I don't know.
Here is how the form is set up as a default:
Thanks for any help that you can give me!

Sorry it took me so long. Things have been crazy, but here's what you do:

Why is Enable Usage Rights creating Duplicate Pages?

I have created a dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. The form is formatted correctly and has no duplicate pages when examining the not-enabled form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. However, when I attempt to Enable Usage Rights so that external users can download the form and fill in the fields, the ENABLED version has duplicate pages. I do not understand why because the original document does not have these duplicates - they only appear when I Enable the Usage Rights. I cannot delete these duplicate pages in the Enabled version. Please help!

hello, these are the files where firefox stores its cache - you won't need ccleaner (in fact it will only slow things down as you've already noticed, since those files have to be recreated after the next start of the browser), you can also clear the cache with the built-in mechanism in firefox: [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]

Enable Usage Rights Resetting in Adobe 8.1.2

Hi!
I've created a series of forms using Livecycle that need to be sent off to multiple recipients, who need to be able to save/print/etc. from Acrobat Reader.
Using Professional 8.1.2 I've been Enabling Usage Rights with Acrobat Reader but when I open the forms up again the next day the rights are no longer enabled and I have to enable them all over again! It doesn't happen every time - they stick with some forms - but most of the time they seem to be reset and it's getting very hard to keep track of which forms are still enabled.
Is this a known problem? Any ideas??

I've double checked my fonts, and the only fonts used are Myriad Pro which I'm pretty sure is embedded across Acrobat.
Do you know what kind of scripts might cause the change? I've got a couple running in the forms - the ones that I've written myself are:
1. calculation scripts (just pretty simple numeric calculations on inputted data)
2. an if... then script that runs on a dummy e-mail submit button that clicks the actual submit if a check-box is ticked
I know there's also script running in the 'current date' field, which is the only thing I could think of that might be running every time the form is opened, and which might explain why the rights stay until the next day. However, if I try to recreate the problem by changing the date on my comp calendar and re-opening the forms, the usage rights are still sticking there fine.
Do any of these seem like likely causes, or are there other scripts that might be hidden around on the form? What's the best way to check?
Also, all of my scripts were written in Formcalc instead of Javascript - would this make a difference?

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.

Automatic Enable Usage Rights in Reader

We have several programs that can natively create PDFs. We have been manually enabling usage rights in reader in them with Acrobat 8.0 Pro. Is there a way to automate this with distiller or some other way?

If you've got a form workflow that large, you'd probably want to check and be sure you are within the usage rights for Acrobat enabled forms.
Forms enabling in Acrobat is intended for low-use situations.

Enabling Usage Rights on Livecycle PDF Causes Problems with Table

I have a form that uses a script to dynamically add rows to a table. Everything works great, except that once I enable usage rights on the PDF, the header row repeats 3 times on the document.
LINK TO DOCUMENT WITHOUT USAGE RIGHTS (link removed) Everything works perfectly, but once I enable usage rights...
LINK TO DOCUMENT WITH USAGE RIGHTS (link removed) As you can see the table is all messed up. The header row repeats 3 times.
I am at a loss as to why this is happening. If anyone has any ideas, I would be greatful!
EDIT: Okay so I figured out what my problem was for anyone else who has this problem. I UNCHECKED: "Repeat Row for Each Data Item" in the Object Properties of the Header Row. No more repeating headers!

Hi Sachin,
Just run into a solution. You should upgrage to Reader Extensions v7.0.2 for this to work. Read the section
"Enabling commenting in a PDF document rendered in a web browser"
in the ReadMe.htm file that accompanies Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Version 7.0.2
The procedure described lets you enable Adobe Reader 7.0 and later to allow commenting when the PDF document is rendered in a web browser, similar to Adobe Reader 6.0.

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.

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?

Enable usage rights breaks the preview handler

Hi guys,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro to enable the usage rights on forms I have made in Livecycle.
The preview handler in Outlook 2010 can show the pdf before I enable usage rights but as soon as the rights are enabled, the preview is not shown anymore....
This is also the case for the thumbnails in explorer... ok before usage rights.... error after enabled...
Any ideas?

Any help would be very much appreciated...

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.

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.

Why does the tab order I set change when I enable usage rights?

I am using Adobe Pro 9.1.2 - set the tab order manually in a 4 page document - test everything - works great. Then, I enable usage rights, go back into the document to test, and the tabbing is out of order again. I have done this multiple times and what should have been a simple task is now taking hours to complete. Help!!! This didn't happen until I upgraded to this version.

Helvetica Neu 10 pt is the default text style for Numbers tables.
Setting a different style to one, some, or all cells does not make that different style the 'default.' Here's an example of the effects of three different sets of actions. All cells in the table had been set to display text as Jazz LET, 12 pt. The original content of B3, C3, and D3 was the same as is shown in C4. For each of the cells in row 3, the procedure described below was carried out, then the text shown was typed into the cell.
When you Select a cell, then "Cut" the cell, the cut includes the text AND any style that has been set for that cell, and the cell reverts to the default style. See cell B3 in the example.
If you Select the cell, Copy, then press delete, the text (and style) are copied, the content (text), but not the style, is deleted. See C3.
If you click on the cell to select it, click again to place the insertion point in the cell (to edit the text), then Select the text and press delete (or Cut), then the text is removed from the cell, but the style remains. See D3.
