Extended Features

Please help me resolve the following, it does not allow me to fill in, fillable forms, the exact same form works on other computers when I send it to them, so the error message is not valid and has got nothing to do with the Author it states the following - 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.

What is your operating system? Reader version?
How was that document received and saved?

Preserving PDF version after Save during "Extend Features in Reader"

Hi,
I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I'm attempting to make a fillable form that needs to be compatible with Acrobat 5 (PDF v1.4) . I can make the form, but when I extend features in reader, the copy it saves is PDF v1.6 (Acrobat 7). Is there any way to maintain the PDF version when doing this, or is this not possible with V1.4 PDFs?
Thanks.

"Reader enabling" was introduced with version 1.5 (Acrobat 6).
Be well...

Remove extended features more than one document at a time.

Does anybody know how to remove the extended features in Adobe files in batch mode? Since the newest upgrade of Adobe reader, we are having to remove the extended features and have 702 forms to do this with! Our users are trying to add their image signature and now it prompts them to do a save as and then locate the saved copy. Seems there must be an easier way or a fix for this? Thanks all.

Yes. I don't have the version you pay for. I also tried the free version
of EchoSign. Maybe that caused the problem.
Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Extended features getting disabled

We have two computers in our organization that do not want to send forms to each other!
We created a form - one user (user A) tried to send a filled out form to another particular user so that he can sign off on it (using a signature field), but this particular user (user B)cannot modified the form at all!
User B gets this message:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended feautres is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
However, user A can send the same form to anyone else, and they can open it and use the form just fine - no message.
It gets even better - User B can open other PDFs/forms from other people and use them just fine as well.
Not to mention - if user A sends the form to someone else (user C) first, then user C forwards the form to user B WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES - it works fine; we don't get that message.
If you can follow all of that and have any idea what may be causing this issue, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it! Both users have Adobe Reader 9, and the form was created in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. All on Windows XP. The person sending the email is using Outlook, the person receiving the form is using a web based email (but saving the document to the computer first does not help).
Thanks for the help!

I'd like to piggy-back on this thread. I am also having this issue and closing and reopening the document until the error message goes away is not a solution.
I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 for MAC and enabling extensions for Reader. The Reader version our company uses is Reader 9.1.3 for PC.
As in the original post, it's a single user that continues to have these issues. All the other people that touch these files have little/no problems with this. Tech Support has tried reinstalling Reader and it seemed to work for a few days and now the issue is back. Anyone have a clue on this?
Here's a screenshot of the error, which is also stated in the original post.

Extended features error in Adobe Reader X

Friends,
I am trying to fill out some application forms available at the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. I have saved these forms on computer hard drive. Although the forms say that they can be filled and saved on computer in order to make future changes, I am not able to do so. Everything seems fine when I fill out the form the first time but when I save the form and open it up at a later time, I receive the following message in Adobe Reader:
"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."
After this message is received, I can open and see these forms but cannot edit it any more. Due to this, I have to start over from zero in order to make even a small change. Please help me solve this problem. I am using Acrobat X and Windows 7 operating system.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe Sekhon

Thanks very much for looking into this Pat. Here is the link for one of those forms:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5481E.pdf
Hopefully, when you download it and save it on your computer, fill it and close it and then reopen it for editing, you will get the same error as me. Once again, thanks very much.
Joe

Extended Features Error... please help

I have a document with forms that lives on my desktop. I keep this as my master, then use the "save as" with completed documents. Out of the blue, I am getting the "use of extended features is no longer available error" when opening the master and the form fields have disappeared. Thinking I somehow corrupted this document, I opened one of the "saved as" documents, and got the same error. I had a co-worker send me her version of the master, and again I got the same error, even though the forms work fine on her computer. I even restored my computer to previous time before this error started occuring, and even that didn't fix the problem. I should add... I don't have Acrobat of any of the Pros, and I'm using Reader X. Please help!

Well... I found a fix to my own problem. I installed Adobe XI and the error message disappeared and my forms returned!

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.

How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.

The Document Enabled Extended Features in Adobe Reader.

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

Where is located "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat XI?

When you create a form and you want the user to fill it and save it with the filled data, you have to select in Acrobat Pro the menu option "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader".
But in Acrobat XI There is no "Advanced" menu and I can't find "Extended features in Adobe Reader" anywhere.
How the hell is it done with Acrobat XI?

I'm not sure. This one in particular has changed to some extent every time since it was first available with Acrobat 8:
For future reference:
A7: Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader
A7: Tools > Typewriter > Enable Typewriter tool in Adobe Reader
A8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

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.

Remove Extended Features with JavaScript?

A LITTLE HISTORY:
At first I was manually trying to crop a PDF using the Document > Crop Pages option in Acrobat Pro.
However, it told me that I could not crop the document because the document "restricts some features to allow for extended features in Acrobat Reader" and that I should Save a Copy in order to remove the restrcitions and be able to crop the document.
That was fine and that did indeed work by saving a copy. And, I was then able to crop the document.
However, now I have been given hundreds of these documents to crop and they all have this "extended features" thing enabled on them.
I was going to write a JavaScript batch command to crop the files (which I have done for previous projects) but it wouldn't work (I assume because of the extended features).
Then I tried writing a javaScript to saveAs all the documents with the asCopy option set to true.
That did not seem to work either because when I then tried to crop one of the saveAs files, I got the same "extended features" error.
QUESTION:
Does anyone know how I can programmatically get around this problem? Can I disable "extended features" via JavaScript? Can I do some sort of save or exprto or something that will strip it out? Am I simply doing something wrong? Or, is it just not possible?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Mark

I haven't even gotten to the code part yet.
Here is a word-for-word transcription of the error message:
This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Acrobat Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), click Save a Copy.
This is an Adobe Acrobat dialog where I have a Save a Copy button and a Cancel button.
This warning message appears when I manually try to crop the document by using the Document -> Crop Pages option from Adobe Acrobat.
As I was originally asking:
Does anyone know how I can programmatically get around this problem via JavaScript? Can I disable "extended features" via JavaScript? Can I do some sort of save or export or something that will strip it out?
I have 320 documents I need to crop. I really don't want to have to manually Save a Copy for each document.
Thank you very much!

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.

Enabled Extended Features?

I am getting an error message which contains the verbage "...use of extended features is no longer available..." This is disallowing me from modifying an existing saved document. Do I have to recreate all documents which have this error message?
Thanks, Doug.

"Extend' or "Enable" of a PDF is accomplished by use of Acrobat Pro or an enterprise level server application Adobe markets.
Cannot do it with Adobe Reader.
Be well...
