How to enable Extended Features in Reader 10

I have pdf forms that were created in Acrobat 8 Pro. Users could change the fields on the forms and save them. Our Enterprise has since "upgraded" to Reader 10. Users can longer make changes in the fields of the forms created in v.8 Pro. I have read the solution in this forum to this issue, which is:
"To Reader-enable a document in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
Do this as the final step when preparing the document to be sent out."
However, I do not have File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF. Under the File > Save As menu, I only have PDF or Text, not Reader Extended. So how can I fix these pdf's so users can edit the fields and save them? We have hundreds of these documents we need to edit then save. Many thanks.

If your menu only says "PDF" and "Text" you're in Adobe Reader, not Acrobat.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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).

  • How to Update Extended Feature Forms and Keep Extended Features?

    In the company I work for we have a bunch of PDF certificates that our Customer Service department uses, namely for international sales.  Only the Customer Service manager has Adobe Acrobat so she uses Extended Features so the other people in Customer Service are able to update the forms.  The forms were updated for the new year and then saved in a new folder for 2014.  Now people that are using Adobe Reader get an error about the document being changed and so the extended features are no longer available.  I have read that it can be fixed using Acrobat and saving a copy of the form so that the extended features are disabled and then saving it again to enable extended features, but they have over 60 of these documents so that would take a long time to complete.  Is there an easier way to re-enable the extended features?

    Not without spending (tens of) thousands of dollars on an application that can apply these rights in batch.
    60 files is not that much, though. Sit someone down and they should be able to do it in an hour.
    Also, if you upgrade to Reader XI then you won't need those rights anymore, as that version can save filled-in form fields even without them.

  • How can I extend features and enable typewriter tool in Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    I have forms that I need users to be able to complete and save, but they also need to be able to use the typewriter tool to type stuff in areas of forms that don't have fields. Is this possible? If I enable the typewriter, I can't extend features and vice-versa...

    It's one or the other. Not both.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Extending features for Reader

    A previous thread noted that, to enable security-related settings (including commenting) in Reader for an Acrobat-generated PDF, you have to select Extend features in Adober Reader from the Advanced menu. Does any one know if there's a setting in Acrobat (9 Pro Extended, v.9.2) to make the feature extension the default property?

  • Preventing Extend Features for Reader when distributing form

    I am distributing a form created in LiveCycle and will have the form responses automatically tracked on an internal server. The distributed form is not sent out via email, but rather stored on the shared internal server. With Acrobat Pro 9, the distribute form function automatically extends Reader rights, which I do not want to happen with the form being stored on a shared server. The form will have secure information in it & responses are sent to a folder that will have write capabilities only.
    Any info on how to prevent the extenstion of Reader rights when distributing the form is appreciated.

    Something happened to the file after the time that it was Reader-enabled. It was modified in a way that invalidates the digital signature that controls whether the usage rights are valid. I seem to recall the GoLive can be configured to modify (optimize somehow?) PDFs when it uploads them, and you definately don't want this to happen for Reader-enabled documents. I don't have GoLive, so I can't check what setting it is, but you should be able to look for yourself. A workaround would be to upload via some other means, such as FTP. I'd be interested to know if this makes a difference.

    I have installed a new LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw printer with wireless configured. The IP Address is 192.168.0.21. I visit http://192.168.0.21 through browser. I don't see Print/Copy/WebScan options there. I can see rest of the configuration tabs.
    I am interested in WebScan feature to scan document from my Chromebook. Please let me know how to enable this.

    Hi,
    The Webscan feature is not available on laser printers, it is only available on Inkjet printers.
    I afraid you can only print from a Chromebook, scanning to a such is not supported with the HP Laserjet Pro MFP M126 printer.

  • LiveCycle Form - Extend Features to Reader to allow save

    I created a PDF form in LiveCycle Designer ES2.  I want to allow users to update form and save, but I can't figure out how to extend these features in LiveCycle.  I can open the PDF form in Acrobat X Pro, but when I attempt to edit I'm forced to use LiveCycle Designer.  There is no option to edit in Acrobat X Pro.

    If you use this feature on a web site or for many users, be sure to read the license restrictions (they start at about 500 uses of the form).
