Live Cycle Reader Extension

I need clarification on reader extension.
Is this required on top of Acrobat reader 9
I get the impression if you want a form to have the capability
of being filled out by the recipient of the form that only has the reader
They must have this extension if they want the ability to save or email return the form other wise they have to print the form out. If this is the case that basic concept of the live cycle is useless and its not what I bought it for.
Can someone please give guidance on this and where I can find these extension if required

How to Enable Reader users to save form data (READER EXTEND):
Ordinarily, Reader users cant save filled-in copies of forms that they complete. However, you can extend rights to Reader users so they have the ability to do so. These extended rights also include the ability to add comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF.
FROM ACROBAT PRO
Open a single PDF, or select one or more PDFs in a PDF Portfolio.
Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a different PDF form, you must perform this task again if you want to enable Reader users to save their own filled-in copies of that PDF.

Yes, Livecycle licensing is done per module.
So if you are just licensed for reader Extensions, you would still get the whole suite, during installation and configuration, you can choose to deploy only the Reader Extensions module.

Reader X freezing and not saving a Live Cycle Acroform

Here is the story:
We created an Acroform template using Live Cycle Designer ES2 and loaded it to our system.
Users go into our web-based system and add data to certain pages there.
We then use iText to generate a PDF that mapstheir data into our template.
Users then save this form locally, add notes to it, save it, and then email it back to us.
Some users are reporting that Adobe freezes when they save and they lose their notes.
all users have adobe reader X
the form is reader enabled
this does not happen for everyone
We have been trying to troubleshoot in real time but are having a hard time diagnosing the issue. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I am also posting this in the reader forum.
Thanks,
Nicole
Further clarification:
so we don't actually generate the AcroForm from our code. The template is created (which is the form) and the fields that are created are in the template are AcroFields. So, in our code, we use iText's API to read those AcroFields so that we can put values into them. More specifically, we use the following classes to read those fields: com.itextpdf.text.pdf.AcroFields and com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfStamper and then during the generation, we write to these fields by calling the setField() method on the AcroFields object

I did not see the reader forum when I was mapping this topic, but I will move it (create a new one?) there. Thx.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise. I am not sure the other topic applies to me as it is referring to Premier Pro 2.0. I will continue in the Reader forums, though. Thanks again.

I am regularly getting a reading indicating Live Cycle has created and Vital Error and must shut dow

I am regularly getting Live cycle vital error and must shut down is

a previous model. How can I fix it? This forces me to save every two seconds because it shuts down about every 3 minutes following some input or change in the position of the form.
ANy help would be appreciated this is taking forever to create a simple form.
Thanks

Live cycle service timeout

I have application which call adobe live cycle service such as assembler service,form data integration service,reader extension service etc. in my application we set timeout as 30 min. when i call large files for assembling and it looks like assembling service take more time to assemble. but after 30 min my application will time out but as i saw live cycle log it still process the old request.
Is there anyway to set timeout for assemble service or in general live cycle service other than pdfgeneration so that when my application timeout same time in server also that request should terminate

There are multiple timeouts that are relevant for a process. Orchestration Timeout should help here.

Disable the adobe reader extension

I am creating a form in Live cycle designer 8.2 - Previously I enabled the reader extensions in Acrobat 9.0 Pro. I now want to put a hyperlink to a particular page - (normally I would use the link option in Acrobat pro. This is greyed out because it is reader enabled. How do I remove it. I have tried save As (with a different name) in acrobat pro. Saving with different name in live cycle. OPening in reader and saving a copy.
Found links on website saying save as copy strips out the reader enabled properties but there is no Save as copy in acrobat 9.0 pro.
Any help appreciated.
Craig

You can't use the Link Tool in Acrobat on a form created with LiveCycle Designer.

I am not able to save the pdf with filled data or related to reader extension

Hi,
I have designed a pdf with some text field controls. But i am not able to save the document when i fill some data into the pdf.
or whenever i save data it says that the pdf will be saved blank.
I know that this is the reader extension issue. How to i add this reader extension feature into it.
I know that reader extension can be
1. cached
2. A document can be made reader extended using adobe live cycle process.
3. also it can be embedded while designing the pdf.
Can any body let me know how do i incorporate reader extension feature while designing and at runtime too.
I know we have taken reader extension license but dont know how to use this reader extension feature.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
You indicate that you have a Reader Extensions license, did you also purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2? You would apply the license to your form using this server product.
You can also apply reader rights using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Professional v8), but this has license restrictions - see EULA. Also the rights that are enabled using this route will not be as many when compared to LC Reader Extensions ES2.
I have a summary here:
http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
Also have a look at the Adobe page:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
Maybe talk to the Adobe sales in your region.
Good luck,
Niall

Bootcamp Assistant will read a DVD or an ISO file containing Windows retail versions and create a USB. What installation media for Windows do you have?
If you have a DVD drive and connect to your MAC (or if you have a built-in optical drive), put in your DVD for Windows, Run Disk Utility as indicated and click on the DVD to verify that there are no issues with the media.
Are you following the Bootcamp installation guide available from the apple website?

Creating fillable forms with Live Cycle that can be emailed, saved, printed, etc. by anyone!

So I started using livecycle because the forms one can make are astounding, its a great program except for sending the forms out to be filled in especially to those only with reader. I've looked over a lot of past discussions and the answers seemed too complicated. Here is a workaround for not so computer savy folks like myself.
First, create your form, use everything the software has to offer to make your form exactly like you want and yes you can use the "submit by email button" that's what it's for.
Second, once the form is complete one seemingly complicated step to fix the "attach as pdf instead of xml" if your form keeps attaching as "xml" if it already attaches as "pdf" then skip the rest of the "second step"
     go to the top and click the "view" menu, then select "xml source"
     then go back to top and click the "edit" menu then select "find"
     type "xml" without the quotations and keep clicking "find next" until you see the "submit" line (eg. <submit format="xml")
     change the "xml" to "pdf"then go back to the "design view column" if you get a "parts of this or that cannot be whatever" message just click ok or ignore
Third, assumming you used the "submit by email" button like you should be the find that button and click the center somewhere, too the right a "field" box comes up
     enter your own email address, you can enter an stock email subject to or leave it blank
     also, a bit further down it says "presence" then "visible" I like to change "visible" to "visible (screen only)" this way it does not show on the printed version. That is one of the things i like the most about this program, you can put text boxes, signature boxes, any kind of
          box and make it visible, visible only on print, only on screen, etc. you just have to play around. It's nice to put a large text box with instructions for how the person should fill out and what to do that helps them and doesn't show up on print.
Ok, the above is a lot of words but if you print it out and follow step by step you'll see how easy it is and after a couple runs you won't have to look at your cheat sheet again.
Fourth, So, it was easy to figure out how to make a form the frustrating part was sending it out to be filled in save, printed whatever then sent back to me (now you). the problem is, the form has to be distributed to be approved so to speak. If it is just for one person that is no big
     deal, just first click "file" "save as" give it a name it reverts into adobe pro and asks how you would like to distribute, follow the instructions you send it to whomever you like they fill it out and submit it back because your email address is linked to the "submit as
     email" button. But what if its just a form you want on the company share drive anyone can open fill out, save, send to you or send to someone else, that's where it's tricky.
Fifth, Distributing to yourself so you can approve the form for world wide dissemination.
     Same procedure as above for the single recipient but instead of sending to someone else you send it back to yourself by entering your own email address again when it asks "how would you like to distribute your form--same as above"
     click "send now via email" enter your address they will return it to (but it's not they this time its really yourself)...follow the instructions, specifiy a generic folder that will collect data (you can delete later, you don't have to collect data unless you want)
     put in your email address as the recipient. change the stock email subject and message if you'd like, then click done, it will email you the form. close out the live cycle and adobe programs and go to your inbox (may take a min)
Sixth, open your attachment.(no remember you submitted the form to yourself but think of yourself as someone else like a customer) when the form is open you can enter stock fields if you like or do nothing...click the submit by email button, follow the instructions and s
     send it back to yourself again (don't get confused...it's really you as the customer sending back to yourself as the owner of the form) if you are a criminal think of it as like "laundering money through a bank" you are laundering the form through your own email system
     close out the form and go to your inbox again an open the returned form. now when you open it there is something new. there is a box that says "this file is a completed form (even though you didn't enter any data---it's a laundered form now) and leave it on the
     "add to existing data set" which is the one you created earlier in the generic folder....click "ok", now the form changes once again, there is a new look to the top, don't worry about it just go to the top right of the form and click on "options" then "save file as" give it
     a name again and remember where you saved it to. then close adobe and say yes when it asks you if "you want to save changes to your data set"....say yes!!
7th, forget the data set, no longer is important...find the form you saved and open it. go to the top and click the "advanced" button then "enable user rights in adobe reader" then click "save now" this is the final form so name it appropriately and place it where you want
     people to find it, they can now open, fill out, print, save as, email, whatever. The only downside is if they use the submit by email it automatically defaults to your email but when their email client opens they can delete your address and put someone else if they want.
thats it...lots of words but it really is easy after you do it a couple of time. the final downside, if the final form works but you decide to change anything on it with LiveCycle, you have to go back through all the steps or it will tell whoever opens it in reader that the original
     has change and they cannot do anything with it, but it's ok, make your changes or improvement, by now you are an expert at laundering live cycle forms, take you 5 min, no worries!
Happy Laundering!!

XML error when invoking a form created by live cycle

I have created a pdf form with Live Cycle Designer 8.0. When I open the pdf document in the firefox browser, in many times I get an error message: XML analys error. This does not happen with Internet Explorer. Is there anything I can set in Live Cycle Designer in order to avoid that error message?
The pdf-form can be found by the link http://www.filmscanner.info/SchulungAnmeldung04.pdf.

Hi, someone can help me with this?

WIndows 7(64 bit), and Live Cycle ES2

Thx a bunch.
I just wanted to try the product at home, by installing the same on my PC (Intel I7 1.6 Ghz, 4GM RAM.)

How does one strip out all Live Cycle data from a PDF and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat?

Someone in a different department built a bunch of forms in Live Cycle. We now need to make minor edits to these forms but we all have Macs and can't use Live Cycle. Currently our only option to change a date and a name on each form is to buy a new Windows workstation, buy a copy of Live Cycle and train someone for it.
I understand the Live Cycle technology and Acrobat technology for forms are somehow different but there must be a way to just strip out all the Live Cycle form programming so that I just have the bare PDF with the text and layout. Then make the text edits and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat.

It depends on your PDF. Is the PDF a static XFA or a dynamic XFA?
You can check to see if the PDF is static/dynamic by clicking File=>Save As, and it should say static or dynamic PDF as file type.
iText will work with Static XFA forms created in LiveCycle. Dynamic XFA forms are not supported.
You can also submit XML data to a server side script and parse the XML data using C# system.xml.xmlreader.
Another tool that may speed the development of the project is:

Note: FDFToolkit.net utilizes iText Technologies.

How to open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2

Hi,
How do I open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2. I have two forms and I need to compare them. Another situation is I want to correct/copy the contents by keeping the old and new one under the view simultaneously. I also want to take advantage of multiple monitors
The MDI style windows with Ctl+Tab to switch between documents is not helping me in the context explained above
adobe Acrobat work on multi instance if I type acrobat.exe /n;
but if I type "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe" /n;, its just opening the existing livecycle instance
please help

I don't think you can run two instances.
But you can stretch the main application window across both monitors and tile the two documents inside the main window.

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.

You're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro- cannot edit a PDF we created. It says to use Live Cycle, Does this Adobe subscirption not include Live Cycle? The earlier version of Adobe did.

No. You have to purchase LCD separately now.
