Mobile Forms and Reader Extensions

Hello, everyone!
If we are working with usual PDF forms, we can apply Usage Rights to it (via Reader Extensions). So, we can create pdf form, add some rights to it, and after that send this form to our users, and they will have working barcodes, ability to import\export data and save form with theirs input.
But what about Mobile Forms?
In Forms Manager we have a .xdp template and we can provide user url to this template with PDF Render Profile. And as a result - user will see form with not working barcode (becoming grey after each input), no ability to save form and no functionality of import/export data.
So, how reader extensions can be applied to such forms?

Are you using LiveCycle ES4?
IIRC, You can probably plug your own PDF Render Profile which, in addition to render the PDF , can also apply RE to that. And then from Forms manager UI, you should be able to associate that custom render PDF render profile to your XDP.

  • No way attaching files to a form without Reader Extension Server?

    Dear all,
    do I understand this right? There is no way to create a form to which attachments can be added using Acrobat Reader unless the form has been reader extended to do so with Reader Extension Server?
    If there are any possibilities I would be very thankful for any hint.
    Thanks for checking this thread and any answers

    Yes you got it right. There are no exceptions or workarounds for this.

  • How to allow attachments on forms saved with Reader Extensions?

    I have a Livecycle developed form that includes action builder buttons to attach other documents.  When I re-save the form with 'Reader Extensions', the attach buttons no longer work.  Is there a way to allow this functionality?  How?
    Thanks.

    Of course. This facility is only available with Reader extension server.  You need to apply reader Extension permissions for the form and specifically , you need to add Embedded File Attachments reader extension.

  • How to Pass XML Data to a PDF Form and Load it into form fields

    I have xml Form data in a string. I would like open a programatically launch a pdf document and pass the xml data as one of the parameters and this xml data needs to load all the form fields.
    Any Idea as to how this can be done?

    I have the same requirement as Daminu, but from the research I have been doing it seems your reply is only partially true. 
    If your PDF is an XFA PDF form, with Reader Extensions enabled, and you want to keep the Reader Extensions functionality for a user to use after your programmatic manipulation, then neither of these tools will work (FDFToolkit or iText).
    Upon the user opening the file once it has been programmatically modified, the user will see the following:
    From what I have read, this requirement can only be fullfilled by use of LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server?  Please confirm?

  • Reader Extensions ES WebApp

    Hi all,
    I have a problem when I try to reader extend a form using Reader Extensions webapp (http://[host]:[port]/ReaderExtensions).
    I can upload the form, select the rights and then when I click "Apply", the progress / waiting bar "Download" keep running and nothing happens.
    Did anyone ever encoutered this issue ?
    Is there a solution ?
    Regards,

    Hi Steve,
    First of all, thanks for your response
    This problem seems to occur with all pdf files that I try to upload (tested 5 of them so far). There is absolutely nothing in the server log ...
    I tested connecting to RE from my computer and directly from the server, both have the same problem.
    I'm using ReaderExtensions V8.0 by the way.

  • Reader extensions render failed. What would be problem?

    Dear All,
    The form which I created using designer is working fine with acrobat, but when it opens in adobe reader all the scripts seems to be not working! Do we need to render the form with reader extensions before proceeding with adobe reader? With that assumption I tried to apply rights to the pdf from reader extensions (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions/
    )  but it failed to render! What would be problem? – attached the screenshots for your review and feed back
    Kind Regards, 
    Vinod Chattergee.S

    Hi Paul,
    Save offline Script - on button click
    app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
    and for sending email...
    Page1.btnSendToCustomer::click - (JavaScript, client)
    RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Department of Environment Quality";
    //app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);
    RealEmail.execEvent("click");
    where btnSendToCustomer is the button for sending email and RealEmail is a hidden button
    This is fine with acrobat, but donno why is not working with adobe reader.
    Please help me, and also guide me on how to use reader extension and what is the use of that. In the screen shot i attached in the earlier post seems that the credentials are expired, so whats the next step?..do i need to purchase a new credential? if so, from where can i buy that.
    I dont have much idea about this, so please help me
    Thanks and regards,

  • Few common questions about Mobile Forms

    Hello, everyone!
    I have a few questions about mobile forms:
    Can a form be integrated with a portal, which is build NOT on Adobe CQ\AEM technology?
    I've created a form and loaded it to the server repository via Form Manager. Now I can access it in my browser like this:
    http://testlcserver:8080/lc/content/xfaforms/profiles/hrform.html?contentRoot=repository%3 A%2F%2F%2FApplications%2FTest%2F1.0&template=UberForm.xdp&dataRef=
    And the question is: what is the right way to share forms to users on a production environment (without integration in a portal pages on so on, let it be just a link to a form which users have to fill in)?  I mean, should it be the same link, or it is only for developers need and to share forms to users some other way must be used?

    For integrating on custom portal, you would need to integrate with form submit proxy for handling of submission as mentioned @ http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/mobile-forms-service-proxy.html.
    As far as url of form is concerned, it’s really up you. You can choose to hide the request parameters as couple of other customers are doing. You can find more information about hiding form template and content root from request parameter @ http://blogs.adobe.com/foxes/hide-parameters-from-mobile-form-url/

  • Error: Accessing the Reader Extensions Server web application for the first time

    Hi,
    I've followed the the installation guide line by line. Everything OK.
    But when i access the Reader Extensions Server web application i see the following error:
    An error has occured
    Error 473: The credential permission settings could not be determined: 'com.adobe.document.pdf.CredentialLoginFailure: IDL:com/adobe/document/pdf/CredentialLoginFailure:1.0'.
    Have you ever faced this kind of message before?
    To tell you the truth i'm not very sure if my Rights Credential file is valid. But is this the cause of this message?
    I use Form Server 6 and Reader Extensions 6 with a Websphere Application Server 6.0
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Stelios,
    Yes, it seems to me also, as a bad certificate issue.
    If memory serves, I run into this message once, where the certificate was valid. Anyway, Websphere v6 is not a supported app server. Have you tried installing on v5.1?

  • Reader Extensions won't open "Save to" popup

    Hi all,
    I have encountered a problem with RE on Explorer. the problem is when I log in to
    http://server:8080/ReaderExtensions
    and choose the form and the extensions to extend the form with, when I click "Apply" the next screen comes up but the "Downloading" flashing screen keeps "moving" without showing me the popup for the "save file to" dialog. I suspect this has to do with a recent update of Flash Player, but I am not sure.
    The error I get is the following:
    Error: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.

  • I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

    I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

    Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
    In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy.  Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
    For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
    Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

  • Extending a document in Adobe Acrobat if you have purchased and own LiveCycle Reader Extensions

    I work for an organization that has purchased adobe livcycle designer suite which includes Livecycle reader extensions. However we do not really have a need (besides perhaps per the EULA), nor the technical support to extend reader documents using the server based LiveCycle Reader extensions. We will definitly be collecting info from over 500 receipients so per the adobe acrobat license agreement:
    16.8.3 For any unique Extended Document, Customer may only (a) Deploy that Extended Document to an unlimited number of recipients, but Customer shall not extract data from more than five hundred (500) instances of such Extended Document (or any hardcopy representation of that Extended Document) that contains data from a recipient; or (b) Deploy an Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) recipients without limits on the number of times Customer may extract data from a recipient from that Extended Document. Obtaining additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite shall not increase
    the foregoing limits (that is, the foregoing limits are the aggregate total limits regardless of how many additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite the Customer may have obtained). For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer purchases another Adobe product or service that allows Customer to send a greater number of PDF files or forms (e.g. Adobe FormsCentral or Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions), then the terms of that Adobe product or service shall supersede the terms of this Section 16.8.3
    Given the very last sentence, it sounds me like since my organization has provided me with a copy of LiveCycle Reader extensions I can extend the adobe document using adobe acrobat if I wish, and still be within the terms of the EULA, is this the correct interpretation? I would prefer not to actually use the LiveCycle reader extensions as once again we do not have the technical support, nor the need for this server based solutions.

    Hi Ben,
    Thank you for providing the detailed description of the problem.
    The contents of the password-protected PDF document are encrypted (so that nobody can read the contents until the correct password is entered).
    Acrobat DC mobile products (for iOS and Android) have the known limitation where changes cannot be saved to encrypted PDF documents.  Therefore, users are not able to make any changes (e.g. adding comments/annotations or filling out forms) to encrypted PDF documents.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Adding LifeCycle Reader Extensions to a PDF Form created in Acrobat Pro 6

    HELP!!!!
    I have already created a form in Acrobat PRO 6.0, but I am running into the issue where my clients who don't have Acrobat STD/PRO can not enter their data and then save the PDF form as a copy and email it back to me with the data included. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result, but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!? I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability, but I am tripping over my own feet trying to figure this out.
    If anyone could provide some guidance...I would totally appreciate it. I am trying to get away from the paper piles (as i'm sure we all are) and it is such a tease to see the demo documents from the Adobe site actually do what I am trying to do!!! :)
    Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance anyone can give.
    Cheers!

    >. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
    That's correct.
    >but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
    LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
    price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
    typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
    offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
    to buy to save forms.
    > I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
    There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
    a different one.

  • How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

    I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible.  I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
    I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
    Thanks,
    Chani

    Thanks everyone for responding.  I should have supplied more information.
    I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
    I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro.  These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
    I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data.  However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered.  Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
    So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact.  Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions.  However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
    Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
    If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly?  How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing?  I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
    If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
    Thanks for all of your responses!
