How to make a PDF LiveCycle Reader Extended?

Hi Everybody
I have installed Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extension Server into my machine. But i don't know how to use this to make a pdf reader extended. Please Help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Manjeet

HI,
The website you gave me won't open.
I'm sorry, I know very little about programming, and I'm only an admin assitant with certain administrator rights to my own computer so I don't have access to the servers.
I'm now very confused, I've been trying to get this done for a whole week now without results. http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions I thought this is all I needed to import my trial RE credentials. I don't want to purchase a module that might not work if I don't have the whole ADEP document services or if I need certain programs.
I need some guidance to know if I'm doing the right thing. This is what I have done so far:
1;- I currently have the Livecycle ES8.2 version installed in my computer for a couple of years now and recently downloaded and installed the ES2 trial.
2.- I also downloaded the trial version of the RE and installed the credential in my computer.
3.- According to your suggestions in this forum and also in the Adobe instructions I'm supposed to import the RE credential to the administration console (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions with an adminstrator user and password password but the site says my user and password are incorrect....??
4.- I don't know what else to do then because I'm stuck in 3.
Now reading manjeet's response, I need to download a server?
I'm trying to test if what ever I'm doing here is right with the use of trial versions of livecycle and RE so after testing I can request to purchase both, but if this doesn't work to make my dynamic form import and export data in adobe reader then my whole project is gone to the trash aswell as my other pending projects.
There is no way and no how we're switching to the ADEP documentation services because the whole corporation is working under another documentation service, so what ever I'm trying to do here is for our internal use as a department.
Will just the Livecycle ES2 and an RE credential be enough?
Please help, I'm very frustrated now.
Thanks!

Static PDFs loosing reader extended rights after saving

Hi,
Technical information:
LiveCycle 7.0 (which came with Acrobat Professional)
ARES 7.0
Reader 7.0.0, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
Windows 2000
PDF Static file type (as we are not dynamically adding/removing document objects)
Scenario:
PDF contains javascript to change the background and border colour of form fields (e.g. node.fillColor = '255,255,170' changed to '192,192,192') to denote enabled/disabled fields.
PDFs are reader extended, so, user should be able to enter and save data on the documents multiple times.
Problem:
Reader extension rights of PDFs were lost. For example, in Reader, open document, update/enter data, save, and close. Do this multiple times and make sure one of the form fields background colour changes. When the document is re-opened its reader extension privileges are lost and user is no longer able to update/enter data on the document.
This worked with our pilot forms (using AcroForm and ARES 6.0)
ADOBE Explanation:
The underlying XFA document is changed when the form field's background property was changed, hence, it is no longer a static form and its reader extended rights has changed.
Resolution:
PDF's file type changed from Static to Dynamic. Some logically driven functions will have to be changed/duplicated (e.g. calling enabling/disabling function(s) from the documents' docReady event).
Have to use Reader 7.0.2 to be able to open, update, save, and close document multiple times without loosing reader extended rights.
Hope this helps others
Regards
Jen

Is there any limitation when you apply reader extension rights to the Dynamic PDF form
FOr static forms , I was able to submit the form in XDP format with PDF embedded in it.
THe same thing is not working for Dynamic PDF forms

How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

@nalinss
There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller.

How to make a pdf (form) accessible for reader in Adobe Acrobat x pro?

Hi guys, i have bit of a problem here as i am new to the Acrobat pro X
Using Acrobat pro 9 i always could save a LiveCycle pdf form with permission to fill and save as a reader user. now i have upgraded to cs6 and i have no clue how to do that anymore. The half of the options are gone and i can't access the older Acrobat pro anymore.
Does anyone know how to save a pdf form using Acrobat X for adobe reader users giving permission to read and save my pdf files?

For Acrobat X go to File-> Save as->Reader Extended PDF
This will embed the reader extended rights in PDF.

How to make a PDF form call Web service and return a static pdf for user to print?

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms for my following case?
I would like to create a Dynamic pdf form. User only have the Acrobat reader. they can enter some information. Then have a submit button. when user click the submit button, it can call the web service with data. then Web service returns a Static PDF document based on data and the user can print it out. (and maybe save as separate pdf file)
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Thanks a lot

We have done a similar approach in the past and yes, it can be doable.
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
Srini: We have developed a Servlet to talk to Webservice. Based on the Webservice response, the Servlet, prepares the Byte stream and sends it to Webbrowser to display as a PDF. The PDF data was submitted to Servlet in XML format.
But if you do not want to use the above approach, then you have to use the Workbench Process.
Submit the PDF data to a Workbench process and the inside process, execute Webservice Service with the data. Once the response is received, prepare the data XML and render a PDF with it.
To do this, you need LiveCycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
Srini: If you want to use the Servlet, you can Reader extend the PDF with Acrobat.. But if you want to submit the data directly to Webservice, then you need Reader Extensions server component.
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
Srini: Not sure but Reader 8 and above should work.
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, then you can re-use the same webservice. But if you want to submit directly to the same webservice, you may need to change it to suit your data XML.
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, you do not need any server component but other approach, you need Livecycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
Thanks
Srini

How to Make a pdf that can be downloaded, filled in and saved and then emailed; Acrobat 9 Pro; Windows

Hi,
I hope this hasn't been asked before, but I really need to figure out how to do this. We take forms in Word, convert them using the wizard, and then the only way I can figure how to make them fill in able and then saveable is to distribute through email. This won't work for me, I need to put them on a website so they don't rely on me to get the forms.
Any help is appreciated. Here is a link to a state work site here in washington that has exactly what I need. if that help to clarify what I'm talking about.
Best, Mary

Hi Mary,
I have recently gone through this same experience.
The first thing is to set the security.
Go to Advanced/Security/2 Encrypt with password. On this page go to Permissions and click on Restrict editing.
You will need to add a password, choose the printing allowed, and changes allowed - this is where you allow the form
to be filled out.
When you have finished these steps, click ok.
Then from the Advaned menu choose "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". You will see what access the user has to the form.
Your form should be ready to email or add to a website as a pdf form.
Hope this helps.

How to make a pdf editable and save for print

Hi,
I just joined Adobe Cloud and it's been a while since I have used acrobat. I have made a brochure that I need a couple of things to be editable on. See below. I need the two areas highlighted in red to be editable for different locales/people. My questions are:
A) I assume Acrobat is the way to do this. I also have FormsCentral if that works better. Can someone tell me how to make these two fields editable?
B) What program do they edit with? Acrobat Reader?
C) How do they save and output it for print?
Thank you,
John

This is not about what Acrobat can or can't do - and you just said they won't have it anyway. It's about the limitations of PDF. A proper solution is to develop (at some expense) a server side PDF generator that takes the user's input and makes them a custom PDF. I don't know if you can just subscribe to a service to do this. If you aren't going to have them use Acrobat, form fields are your only option. Be sure they (and you) understand the limitations and that they must use Reader (not one of the many other PDF viewers). Be sure you understand about reader enabling: many versions of Reader CANNOT SAVE filled in files unless they are specially prepared.
So back to your original question: how do you make the fields editable: with the Forms function in Acrobat. You may have better luck in the Acrobat Forms forum.

PDF to Reader Extended Script

Hello all,
I'm looking for a script that can automatically save a X amount of PDF forms as Reader Extended, that way users can fill them in and save a completed copy for their records.
Thanks in advance to all for your help!

Cannot be done. Acrobat does not permit automation of the Reder-extending operation; it's a workflow only supported by the LiveCycle (ADEP) server product range.

Thanks & Regard ,
Nandini

I have the same requirment..
I have a select list on a editable form and i want to make that one read only.
When I use read only property it doent do anything. (But this is working for text items well).
When I use "disabled' option it works fine. But then that value does not post when use POST the form. So making select list disabled is not a solution.
Any Idea..
Thanks

How to make HP Mediasmart Video reads .MKV files?

Hi there. I've recently bought a HP DV7T-2000 notebook and I've got really excited about this product. It's really awsome! The only "problem" till now is that I can't play .mkv files using HP Mediasmart Video, even after installing the matroska codec. I can play .mkv files using any other video player, but HP Mediasmart Video.
Does anyone know how to make this work?
For the records, I'm running it over Windows 7 Professional 64 bits.
Thanks for the help.

Are you saying export my processed video to .movs or DNxHD and give to him? The terms are all new to me. When I last edited with FCP it was with DVCam footage captured from the cassettes. Would he be able to then import the audio from the SxS card and sync it on his time line with those kind of files?
Nothing was deleted....straight 1 hr 2 minute single take.... broken down to the smaller files both by the Nanoflash and the SxS card.. I would drop the soundtrack from SxS onto my time line and sync it up for him first with the noise processed Nano video files if I could figure out why it isn't following the video onto the time line? Why does the 1080 60P codec from the Sony NEX 5N still camera bring the audio along automatically and the file fromn the Sony PMW 320 does not? There must be a lot of EX1 and EX3 shooters here. Please, what do I need to do with the buttons or targeting or settings for the 2 audio tracks on time line for those files to have the audio come along? From the SxS files I imported, both the ones that say "CLPR" and right below that, "CUEUP.XML" play the sound in the browser source window.
