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.

In Acrobat X Pro, fields are not showing up when previewing or creating Reader-enabled PDF

I have a form with many fields (217 in all). When I click "Preview" within Form Editing, I only see a small subset of the fields. If I save as a user-enabled form, that form only shows the same fields. Why aren't all of the fields showing up? Thanks!

Never mind. I believe I figured it out. I thought that setting the form field to "Invisible" just affected whether the box would be visible to the end-user, not whether it would be fillable at all. Now that I set all of the fields as "Visible but doesn't print" all of the fields show up.

Need help creating a fillable PDF form from a Word Doc coverted to PDF

Hello, I recently switched from the downloaded program to the monthly "subscription type" of adobe "cloud". Previously, I was able to select in "Tools" the option to insert blue text boxes in my PDF where customers could fill in info and return to me. Now, I can no longer find this option on the Adobe Reader XI. Am I missing something?

You're using Reader instead of Acrobat... Only Acrobat can edit PDF files.

Errors in creating Reader Extended PDF

Cannot create Reader-enabled pdf in Acrobat XI, version 11.0.07, on PC. My co-workers on Macs have no issues. I've created a form in Acrobat with several dropdown menus for the various fields. I save a backup copy so that I can go back to the original file to edit as necessary. From there, I select File > Save as other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable more tools. From there I receive a pop-up titled "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" . I select "Save Now". I then navigate to the folder where I want this file saved, and update the file name. Acrobat then saves a file in the correct location, with the correct name, but gives me an error message to the effect of "Reader Enabled version could not be created". No reason why, just didnt' do it. In fact, when I open the file in Reader, all the fields are gone, and there is an error message explaining that the Reader Usage rights have been changed".
Help?

Hi mtokarz52129,
Does the issue occur with just one particular file, or are you able to save others without error? If it's happening consistently with all PDFs, I would suggest doing a repair of your Acrobat installation.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

"Adobe" is a company. If you mean "Adobe Reader" then you can't (at least not easily). You need Adobe Acrobat for that.

Reader Enabled PDF forms

I have Reader Enabled PDF forms created in Acrobat 10. Is there away to NOT allow the user to save the PDF form with data UNLESS the user has completed the form in entirety. I want the user to be forced to provide all the information before they can save the form.

I need help. Can LiveCycle PDF Generator accept network print jobs from a PCL only source?

More information about this game:
The game should generate a random obstacle course for the player. The first column of the grid, however, should consist of all empty pieces, with the exception of the upper left-hand corner, which is the grid location where the player initially resides.
Enter a loop in which the following things happen (not necessarily in this order):
Print the current board configuration. Additionally, a key should be printed describing what each piece is.
Get an action from the user. The player can move up, down, left, or right. Use the following controls: up = 'i', down = 'm', left = 'j', right = 'k'. The player can move at most one block at a time. Of course, if the player tries to move into a spot occupied by an immovable block, the player will not move.
Inform the player whether they have won, or if they have lost (a player loses if they step on a bomb piece).
If the player types 'q', the game should terminate.
I am still stuck on this maze generator stuff.... Please help me....

Open file attachment from text links within reader enabled pdf document...

I created a PDF file with embedded sub pdf documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
Then I created a link to text part (Actions: Run a JavaScript).
The JavaScript code which is executed by clicking the link is shown below:
var d= this.dataObjects;
dd="abcde-123_test.pdf";
for (var i=0; i < d.length; i++) {
if (dd.indexOf(d[i].name)>=0) {
odoc=openDataObject(d[i].name);
dc=odoc.path;
odoc.closeDoc();
app.openDoc(dc);
Having the PDF file without reader enabled extensions, the link works perfectly.
After activation of reader enabled extensions and reopening it in Adobe Acrobat Pro X, the same document raises the following error:
RaiseError: The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a dfferent name or in a different folder.
Doc.closeDoc:7:Link undefined: Mouse Up
===> The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
Opening this reader enabled PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Reader X, the following error is displayed:
Exception in line 7 of function top_level, script Link:Mouse Up
The initial non-reader enabled PDF document displays the very same error message when being opend in Adobe Acrobat Reader X instead of Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
Can someone comment on my issue?
Many thanks!

OK, now I changed the code as follows:
dd="abcde-123_test.pdf"
this.exportDataObject({cName: dd, nLaunch: 2});
It works perfectly in Adobe Acrobat.
Once it is saved as "Reader Enabled", again the same issue occurs:
Exception in line 7 of function top_level, script Link: Mouse Up
So... What to do now?
Thanks in advance!

Uber Noob Needs Help Creating website!

I need help creating my webpage: It has a textbox on it were
the user enters a URL and it then redirects the end user to that
URL when they press the GO Button. It also has a check box saying
"Hide my IP", If the end user clicks this box and then clicks go
they will be directed to the website they stateted in the Textbox
but this time it shall mask there IP Address so they can bypass
proxys and surf anonomosly. Please can someone give me some HTML
code i could use for this site or a Link to a website that can give
me the code.

I assume the application is connecting to Oracle using an application ID/password. If so, check to see if that user has a private synonyn to the table. If so drop it since you have a public synonym.
Verify that the public synonym is in fact correct. Drop and recreate the public synonym if you cannot select against the synonym name using an ID that can perform select * from inhouse.icltm where rownum = 1. That is if this other user cannot issue select * from icltm where rownum = 1 without an error.
Check that the application ID has the necessary object privileges on the table.
Queries you need
select * from dba_synonyms
where table_owner = 'INHOUSE'
and table_name = 'ICLTM'
You may find both public and private synonms. Either fix or delete. (Some may reference someelses.icltm table if one exists)
select * from dba_tab_privs
where table_name = 'ICLTM'
and owner = 'INHOUSE'
Note - it is possible to create mixed case or lower case object names in Oracle by using double quotes around the name. Do not do this, but do look to see that this was not done.
You could also query dba_objects for all object types that have the object_name = 'ICLTM'

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!

Need help to read Instant messenger packet

There are several problems with this. First, it is not possible to separate IM packets from any other packets floating around a network. Second, to peek at packets intended for other computers is a pretty big no no.
If you really need to do this, build a proxy server or some layer in the middle of your IM where you can record

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

Need help creating pdf contracts: Reader vs. Acrobat

I am needing some help regarding creating pdf contracts to send to clients. It will basically need to have info input by 2 different parties, the catering company and their client. I am on a Mac and will be originally creating the pdf contract. It will then be used by a catering company, who is using Windows. They will need to input information into this contract, such as dates, client info, prices, menus, etc. Then, they will email it to the client (probably using Windows) for their electronic signatures, ability to print for their files, etc., and then return the signed pdf to the catering company.
I have been going through Reader and Acrobat to see which application would be better to use. In Acrobat, I exported the pdf to Word to input info, but Word changes the appearance/formatting of things. The catering personnel don't need to have to rearrange the appearance, they need something they can simply fill in info on. Is there a way around this?? I then made a new pdf and the rest of the process seemed to function okay.
In Reader, I couldn't find a way to export to Word in order to fill in info and create a new pdf...is this correct? So it seems that I would have to create forms for both parties originally, then have the catering company fill out their portions, and then send the pdf onto the client to fill in their portions. But, if the client highlights the fields, all will be highlighted, not just the ones they need to complete. And, would they be able to alter the fields that the catering company filled out?
Could somebody PLEASE help me out with the logistics of this process???
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Boy - it's been a year and a half since you asked this question! So not sure if you're still out there.....
Looks like no one replied. Did you ever figure it out? I need to do the same thing...
