Need clarification on "reader enabled" in LC ES

Is "reader enabled" some plug-in or just an option to "mark" before I start developing new form? Cant find much about it in LC help but I see its very important for later user-end capabilities (like sending filled pdf by e-mail using only adobe reader...). If its a plugin, is it needed only on developer station or every user of that form?
Please advice.

This is weird, I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.0.0) and there is no such thing as "reader enabled" in my advanced. I checked whole tree and cant really see anything equivalent to this.
There is "Change reading options" but its diabled (cant be used) with or without my form loaded.
If you could be so kind and elaborate especially on this what is mentioned in last columnt of this screen.
Its only possible to do so if we had
(2) Adobe have a server component to their LC Enterprise Suite called LC
Reader Extension ES2. This is intended for enabling large numbers of
forms and/or for large numbers of recipients. This is an expensive
option because it is server based and intended for large organisations
or government agencies.
Thank you very much for your insight. Best regards.

Need help creating Reader Enabled PDF

Is there a restriction on creating editable PDFs for Reader when you only have the trial version of Acrobat? Despite following all instructions, when I attempt to edit the text in Reader I get a security restriction error message.

Reader extensions allow certain things, but it depends which of the reader extending options you choose. EXACTLY what in the form triggers the message? And what is the exact form of the error message? End users can ALWAYS fill out a form, but it's the other stuff after that which can get you, like saving it or emailing it.

Settings that I need to change so no restrictions on reader enabled forms

Hi,
I have a reader enabled form that needs to be filled in with a digital signature that needs to be added with a submit button to email to client however I don't want the restrictions. Just wondering what the settings are that I need to change so it only sends the data instead of the whole PDF form (so there are no restrictions) ?
Cheers

Thanks.
So I've done the doc as xfdf and even though it still only saves and sends the form data it can still be viewed as a pdf with the new filled in content and printed nicely with the content. This is fine. Is there any expiration date as to how long this data can be view for? And just to confirm there are no restrictions on this plus the designer can use their copy of Arobat to create these forms, not the client? The client can also still view all the submitted forms fine if they don't have acrobat pro?
The only limitation is that signatures will not work.
Cheers

FORMS: Reader Enabled forms are not saving for all users

I have created several fillable forms with both Acrobat Pro 8 & 9. All have been created with Extend Reader Rights In my testing i have success saving the forms in Reader (various versions as old as 7).
After sending the forms out via email the saving functionality is hit and miss for all of our employees. Some can save others cannot. I can't seem to find a common thread as to why this is happening.
All forms are created on a Mac OS X 10.6.1 and then sent out via email to Windows and Mac users about 50/50. Both OS users are having trouble
There is no need to collect the data on a server or anything just trying to make it easier and waste less paper. We don't mind send PDF attachments all the time.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!

here is one of the forms that is not working in Reader (except on my wife's PC and another Mac) it is the current PDF form i am having trouble with. If we can resolve the issue then it will help me resolve my other forms too. I have made them all using the same process. (Maybe therein lies a problem)
Form Creation Process:
Create initial page layout in Pages (mac app for those that are not familiar)
Export as PDF
Open PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 (started making forms in v8 now i am working in v9 - both have produced this problem)
Run Form wizard, adjust fields, save final version of form
Extend Features in Adobe Reader (via Advanced menu) - Follow steps to save a new Reader Enabled version
Email new RE version to co-workers
All can fill out the form, only a couple can actually save the partially completed / fully completed form for reference, filing, or submission.
Am I missing something? Thanks for all the help so far!

Reader Enabled Forms with Acrobat 8.0

Hi,
I am considering upgrading from 7Pro to 8Pro and need to confirm some aspects of the new features for applying reader rights to forms. I have a number of forms generated in Lifecycle Designer 7.1, where the user is using the Reader version to email the XML data.
If I reader enable these forms with Acrobat 8 Pro, will the User be able to still email the XML data and also save the completed form locally? In addition will it be possible to inport and export XML data into & out of Reader Enabled forms?
In addition do you know what the story is with "500 users of the forms"? Is is 500 per form over the lifetime of the form? Some of my forms are distributed to different Clients and I am not sure how this will work
Any help/guidance gratefully appreciated ;-)
Thanks, Niall

It should, yes. Can't confirm 100% as I haven't tried.

Need a script to enable in-place hold on Office 365

Hello, I need a script to enable in-place hold on Office 365 for my users.
The options that I have found for this so far is to enable in-place hold for a DL or an individual user. Is there a way to use a CSV instead?
This is what I have used before.....where "allstaff" is the name of a DL.
New-MailboxSearch -name "3 Year In-Place Hold" -SourceMailboxes allstaff -InPlaceHoldEnabled $true -ItemHoldPeriod 1095

That doesn't seem to work.........I think it's trying to create a new hold query for every user.
PS C:\scripts> ./user_hold.ps1

Is it possible to edit a reader-enabled form?

I have Adobe XI and recently created an interactive fill-able form. I saved it as reader enabled. The challenge is that when I made the form, I copied some of the text boxes instead of inserting new ones each time. Those text boxes are now linked in some way. When one box is filled, then that info populates in all those fields. Can I correct this?

You need to remove the reader rights first, by saving a copy of the file
under a new name.
When you done editing it, re-apply the rights.

Adding attachments to Reader enabled forms in Adobe reader

I am creating a form for a user where they need to add an attachment to the form from Adobe Reader.
They also need to save the form locally, as this is a low volume usage, approx. 100 uses in total the rights are being enabled in Acrobat Professional 8.0
Functionality all works fine until the form is reader enabled and the script no longer functions.
the script being used is as follows
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.importDataObject("Strategic Research Plan");
var d = oDoc.getDataObject("Strategic Research Plan");
app.alert("The name of the file you attached is: " + d.path);
I have seen some comments indicating the file system cannot be accessed when rights have been applied, does anyone know if this is the case? or if there is a way to make this work.
this is being done with Professional 8 and Reader 7.02 or later
Any comments will be appreciated!

Hi Pat,
Yes I was using Firefox 19 indeed. This certainly fixed it.
Thanks for the help!

Button to save as reader enabled

Good evening!
I have a form that I am automatically saving with a button. However, I will have to go into each form and save as reader-enabled. It is for evaluation forms--so does not exceed the EULA.
Is there a way to save as reader extended with a script?
Or--is there a way to save as other where the dialog box will pop up to be able to select the Reader Extended?
I would like the dialog to open in the same file path that the open file is currently saved in.
I am using Livecycle Designer ES3 with Adobe Acrobat Professional XI. The form was created in Livecycle Designer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

No, there's no way to automate Acrobat to Reader-enable documents. This is an intentional limitation. If you need to automate this, you're expected to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions, or now the Adobe PDF Java Toolkit (http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdfjavatoolkit/features/#enablement) available from Datalogics.

Personalized reader enabled forms

HI, Here is my use case:
1) Visitor completes an HTML form on website
2) Info is stored in local db, some transformations are done etc
3) Some info is then populated into fields of a PDF reader enabled form
4) pdf saved and emailed to visitor
5) Visitor enters additional information into the form saves it and and sends to a company rep
6) Company rep enters additional info in form, saves it and sends back to visitor
7) repeat 5 and 6 as neccessary.
8) Form is printed
Where I am at implementing this
1) I have Acrobat X and have created "reader enabled" form
2) Using 3rd party tool (ABCpdf) I am able to populate pdf form fields via webserver script
3) PDF is emailed to visitor
4) Visitor is unable to enter data because form is no longer "read enabled"
This is were things fall apart. As soon as the 3rd party tool touches the PDF it is no longer a "reader enabled" form. This is true even if all the 3rd party tool does is "open" and "save" with absolutly not other operations performed on PDF, the simple act of opening and saving disables the "read enabled". I have spoken with the vendor of the 3rd party tool and says that there is nothing they can do about this. I have experimented with other tool vendors and the same seems to be true.
Questions:
1) If instead of ABCpdf I used the Acrobat SDK would I be able to programmically populate my form while having it remain "reader enabled" ?
2) If I installed Acrobat on my web server and used the Core API would that work?
3) Is this what LiveCycle is for?
4) Looking at the the LiveCycle portion of the Adobe website and it looks like there are many different products. Which is the minimum product for this use case?
5) Is there a way to use LiveCycle that doesn't involve having the PDF submit the data to the back end directly? I really do just want the info saved in a PDF.
6) Since I have no need of digital signatures or some of the other features I have read about with LiveCycle, should I just drop PDF from this use case and use web forms instead? (I would be done by now if I had started with this option).
Much thanks to anyone who can answer these questions.

Thanks Bernd, I will look into LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
This is supposed to be a short term solution to help smooth workflow while a full web portal is being developed. The web portal will provide access for customers, sales, partners, etc. and emailing pdf's around won't be part of it.   So this solution is supposed to be for the next siz months so I would rater not spend more then a day or two on it and I have already burned a day
"transforming form data (FDF, XFDF, XML), which works much better with Reader, "
Can you tell me more about this?   Is this like shooting an XML file at a PDF for presentation?
Thanks

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:

Saving with Reader Enabled Acrobat Pro OSX

Hi, I have a form that I populate using a 3rd party tool. When this form is opened in Adobe Reader I got the message "this form has changed and is no longer redaer enabled". I solved this by purchasing Acrobat X Standard and using it to re-save the form as "save as" -> "reader extended PDF" -> "Enable forms fill in...". Then when I open it again in ADobe reader I am able to fill in fields, save send to someone else who does the same etc.
However, my co-worker who needs to do this uses a Mac. So I had him buy Acrobat. He was only able to find "Adobe X Pro" so that is what he bought. The behavior of this program is very different.
When he opens one of these forms that has been populated by my 3rd party tool, he goes to save it as "reader enabled" the options on the "save as" menu are very different. Only the bottom on is available (says something like "extended features". Anyway, when he chooses the only option available he gets a message that says "this form is already reader enabled". !!!!! This is a problem because if we open that same form with Adobe reader it says "This form is no longer reader enabled"
We have spent $800+ buying two versions of Acrobat and still do not have a solution, feeling more then a little frustrated.
How can we force Acrobat Pro X osx to resave as "reader enabled"
Help!!!

Your "3rd party tool" probably corrupts the file in some way, or at least changes it and thereby removes the additional reader rights enabled by Acrobat.
In Acrobat X Pro (Windows or Mac, doesn't matter) you enable those rights by going to File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.

Acrobat Fillable Form -Reader Enable Not Working Correctly

I have a form that has been used and modified a number of times that is accessed from an intranet. I am trying to make it Reader enabled, (All user have Reader X installed). I enabled, and infact if I try to Enable Usage Rights I get the error dialog box that says. "This document already has enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader. To remove Reader Enablement, use File > Save a Copy" However, I go to a PC with Reader installed and try to open the file I get the following error in the lavendar bar at the top - "Fill out the following ofr. You cannot save data typed into this form..." So the Reader Enablement isn't carrying over in the form when reviewed from the Intranet .
When I just attach a copy of the form and send it to someone with Reader only it appears with the following error message: "This document enabled extended features in Acrobat 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." It was sent after I added the enabled fields and was not edited or saved again although it was opened in Acrobat X Pro.
Does anyone have suggestionsn on what miay be the problem? What can I do to solve the problem, etc. Do I need to totally recreate the form? Thanks, Judy

Judy,
The document got corrupted somehow. When I tried to validate the usage rights it reported an error.
What I would do is start with a fresh copy of the underlying PDF and copy the fields from the current form (not the Reader-enabled version, but a copy that's not Reader-enabled) and create a new form.
I'd urge you to generate a new underlying PDF from the source document and make sure that all of the fonts are embedded. TimesNewRoman (regular, bold, italic) is used an number of times, but not for any visible character, and is not embedded. ArialMT (regular, bold-italic) is also not embedded. If you can remove the TimesNewRoman non-printing things so it's not even included in the PDF, that would be better. Look for things like paragraph markers, blanks, etc., that use it. I'm not sure how it got corrupted, but fonts have been implicated in the past (with respect to Reader-enabled documents at least), so it's best to use only what's needed and to embed all fonts.

Need clarification on "reader enabled" in LC ES
