How to judge pdf is reader enabled?

Hello,
In my plug-in, want to know whether current document is reader enabled. How to achieve it? It's my pleasure if you can provide some codes.
Thanks!

1 - The PDF Reference/ISO 32000-1 explains these dictionaries and their presence. A quick read of the relevant section is probably in order.
2 - The details of those API calls can be found in the Acrobat SDK - which you certainly have if you are writing a plugin to Acrobat. Again, consult the documentation.

How do I save a reader enabled form as a "normal" form, or no longer "reader enabled?"

I made a form for my office to fill out and submit that will be used over and over again. Along the way, I got confused and thought I would need to reader enable it. Our IT guy came in and installed the full version of Acrobat on everyone's computers and now when someone tries to attach a document to this form it says they can't because it's reader enabled. How do I change this back to a normal document?

That's a very round-about way of doing it, and I don't see why it should work.
When you open a Reader-Enabled file you should see this option under the File menu:

How to edit PDFs in reader on iPad, and how to undo, aka back button

I am new to iPad. How do you undo edits on Adobe reader??
There's no back arrow or undo button.

Maybe I figured it out.
When Reader allows you to add text, highlight or leave comments, you can edit them. There is no menu to indicate this, or a backbutton, which this android / PC user is used to finding in an OS. No, it is more subtle. You simply press on the item you wish to change, and a submenu will appear as well as handles to drag. A bit obtuse, but oh so intuitive!

Reader enabled PDF won't save to Word

Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm not putting this question in the right place, but I can't find a better location.
We have a PDF that's reader enabled for editing with the typewriter tool, and we want to save it as a Word document. Whenever File > Save as > Word doc is clicked, we get a message that Acrobat has stopped working. This is only with this particular PDF, as we've tried 'plain' ones that converted beautifully.
How can I save the reader-enabled PDF as a plain PDF?
Thank you!

Thanks for replying!
There is no 'Save a copy' in the File menu; maybe that option is just in
Acrobat, not Reader. I solved it, though; what I did was print to Adobe
PDF. As we know, that doesn't actually print anything, it just saves; and
it was saved as a plain PDF! Well, that was a lesson learned...and enabled
PDF cannot be converted.
Thanks anyways!

Reader enabling plug-in on Mac OS X

Hi,
I have successfully created and reader-enabled a plug-in on a Windows platform (prooving that the KeyPair and certificate I have are correct).
The same plug-in works fine too with Acrobat on Mac OS X.
But I could not manage to reader-enable it on Mac OS.
In the Release notes / Issues for Acrobat XI SDK, I've found this :
MakeKey Reader-enabling Tool
At this time, the MakeKey tool for Reader-enabling does not generate keys if you are using Mac OS 10.x on MacIntel or Windows Vista on 64-bit machines. Please check www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_developer periodically for future updates to this tool.
And in the Tools folder for mac in the SDK in empty... I've tried with similar tools provided with 9.1 SDK but... even it SignPlugin says the plugin has successfully been enabled... it does not load...
So... How is it possible toe reader-enable a plug-in for MacOS X ?
TIA,
J.

How to allow multiple-session changes to fields in a PDF using Reader 7

Good morning
We used Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 to create a seminar registration form that people can download from our website.
The idea is they fill it in and email it back as an attachment.
There are some browser plug-in issues - e.g. in Internet Explorer I can fill in the form and save it to my PC, and the PDF created on my PC contains the data I entered. If I do the same thing in Firefox, the saved file is empty (the data isn't saved).
But the real problem is, if I open the PDF in Reader 9 (at work) I can fill in the form, save, re-open and make changes.
With Reader 7.0 (at home), if I enter data and save and re-open, I get a message as follows:
"The 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 of the original version of this
document."
...meaning, with Reader 7.0 I only get one chance to fill in the form.
Is there a way of creating the PDF that allow users with earlier versions of Reader to have more than one crack at it?
e.g. would saving the file for Reader version 7 solve the issue?
thanks in advance
PS: I didn't do the form, not sure how it's done, and I don't have Reader 7 where I am now.

Reader enable the form then users of Adobe Reader will be able to fill in and save.
Be well...
Shouldn't one use Acrobat to enable the form?

Reader XI & IE10 - how to force PDF's to be viewed in READER?

I have NO Adobe add-on installed in IE10. Updgraded from Reader 8.1 to Reader XI. Under Reader 8.1 there was an option in settings to force PDF's to be opened in READER instead of IE. Cannot find that option. Went to Settings / Manage-Add-ons to disable Adobe PDF there, but it's not installed, so can't disable it.
Any ideas on how to force PDF's to be opened in READER instead of IE10?
Thanks!

I do not quite understand your initial comment. You write that you do not have the Adobe Reader add-on installed on IE10, yet PDFs open in IE?
See this article how to enable viewing PDFs in a browser; you will have to do it the other way around to see the opposite effect: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

Add dynamic content to reader enabled PDF, maybe using metadata?

The reader enabled pdf can be annotated by several users, in a web browser.
However, when the PDF is retrieved, I want to store the users' username against the annotation/s made. The users details are only available at the time the application receives the request.
I cannot dynamically add any javascript, as this invalidates the hash applied to the PDF i.e. the javascript is classed as unmodifiable content.
I've tried adding the username as custom metadata using
i pdfDoc.getDocumentInformation().setCustomMetadataValue("currentUser", userName);
(and access it in the embedded javascript using 'this.info.currentUser')
but it seems this also invalidates the hash !!
So, my question is, how can i add the username dynamically to the PDF at request time, and access it in the embedded javascript, given that
* the available usage rights are for 'Annot.*'. (* is all available rights).
* the PDF is only reader enabled on creation (as reader enabling for large PDF files for multiple users is too slow!!)

It's hard to say without seeing a sample. If you can post one somewhere, I'd be happy to test it out. If you can't post somewhere, you can email me at: acroscript at gmail dot com

How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?

how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.

Hello-
I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
Hope this helps.

How to manage PDF opening in client installed Adobe Reader?

Hi!
As a background, I have this Document Library in SharePoint Online containing PDF files that are supposed to be confidential files wherein the users can only view the pdf documents, restricting the Printing, Copying of Content and Saving/Dowloading.
As a workaround, this PDF files are password encrypted and toolbars and menu bars are hidden by default. That's why I need to open it using the local client PDF Adobe Reader. Since if through the browser, the pdf file security enforced becomes useless with
the Save and Button buttons visible and Browser Menu Bar can directly be accessed.
My problem is how do I enforce that PDF files stored in a Document Library in SharePoint Online be opened directly in local client PDF Adobe Reader without asking the users to
Disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on of their browser IE because we have no control over if they follow it or not and also this will also depend on the type of browser used by the user.
Why is it that this Library Settings option in SharePoint Online does not work "open documents in the local client application"?
Please your solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Venus

Hi,
From your description, you might want to force the .pdf file to not able to open in browser.
As there is no such OOTB feature can meet your requirement, a workaround is that we can use JavaScript to iterate through the Name column of the library, if there is
a file name ends with “.pdf”, we can modify the click event of the name string element of the Name column of this item to make it download the file instead of opening it.

I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
Thank you.

iPads sync to 1 computer only.
All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.
