Prevent repositioning text elements in an editable PDF in Adobe Reader?

Hi!
I've made a business card using editable text fields using Tools > Content > Add or Edit Text Box. To make it possible for my client to update the text fields the PDF are saved using File > Save as > Render Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features. Ok, so now when the client opens the business card in Adobe Reader (not Acrobat Pro) to fill out some new information for a new employee for instance they just click each text to fill out some new info. So far so good. But I noticed that it's also possible to move around those editable textfields within Adobe Reader which I really don't want! How can I look them in place preventing the client to move around them?
Thanks!

Thanks for your quick respond!
I'm trying to edit the "Security Method" in the "Security" tab with no luck. It says "You cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified". At the bottom of the security tab following information is displayed "* This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), choose File > Save as Copy. I tried this but still don't have it working.
First, what security method do I need to set it to? I can see the option Filling of form fields - Not allowed * but is not allowed to select any Security method at all?

    How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe Reader Pro XI?

    "How" very much depends on what exactly you want to achieve.  Basically you open it in Acrobat, then use the tools to edit it.  You may need to perform text recognition (OCR) if the document is a scanned image.
    If you need details how to do certain edits, you better ask in the Acrobat forum (Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs).

  • Save editable pdf in Adobe Reader?

    I have made an editable pdf. I want my colleagues to fill in this pdf. But they have Adobe Reader… Is there any way (in Adobe Reader) that they can make changes, save it and then email it to customers?

    If you are talking about a form they would need to fill out, Adobe Reader XI can do that or if you have Acrobat, you can add form fields that all versions of Reader can fill out.
    If you are talking about any other type of edits, Reader cannot do that.

  • Problem editing pdf with Adobe Reader 9

    Can someone please explain the process of editing a Pdf.  I have tried everything I can think of and used every tool and have yet to leave a mark.  Am I missing a plug - in.  I am baffled by this, I was sure I would be able to just put my cursor anywhere and edit, but that is not the case.  Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You

    You need to use Adobe Acrobat; Adobe Reader does not support editing.

    Hello,
    How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
    I don’t see any link?
    1.      We have a subscription.
    2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
    3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
    Only the tekstlinks are OK.

  • I NEED A GURU...How do I add editable hyperlink in Adobe Reader?

    Hi - I have a perplexing problem that I desperately need to find a solution to fast........
    I have created an interactive PDF in LiveCycle that you can amend the text and image fields in the free Adobe Reader.  My problem is that I need whoever uses the form to be able to alter one of the text fields and then attach a hyperlink on to the text.
    It is the hyperlink part that I cannot find the answer to.
    Is there a way of creating a field in LiveCycle that will allow someone to attach or edit a hyperlink?  This step needs to be done in the Adobe Free Reader.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Wendy-G

    No way that I'm aware of.

  • Editing images in Adobe Reader

    I have set up a form template in Indesign, using form fields, so that customers can edit their contact information and image.  I know that you can edit this information in Acrobat, but is it possible to edit these things in Adobe Reader?  I have opened the document in Reader, but it looks like I can only edit the text.  My main question is this:  is it possible to edit the images in Reader like you can in Acrobat?  Thanks for any help.

  • How to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0

    Can you please tell me how to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0 with all the filled details

    You cannot buy 8 or 9.
    In X (10 - which you can't buy either), you can do File > Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features.
    Important notes:
    1. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Once rights are added many kinds of editing are permanently locked out.
    2. THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS on the number of people who can save a form. Details in the EULA: check it carefully (or have a lawyer check it).
    Also note that Reader XI can save forms with no special preparation.

    Acrobat has NEVER been free. Reader (formerly called "Acrobat Reader") has always been free, but the Creation/Editing software has always had a price tag.

  • Unable to email PDFs from Adobe reader. Can't get the as is or flattened option

    HHow do I email my PDFs from Adobe reader for the ipad? Can't find 'as is' or 'flattened options

    To email the currently opened PDF document from Adobe Reader for iOS
    Tap anywhere in the PDF document to display the top toolbar.
    Select the Share icon (the second icon from the right) to display the following menu.
    Select E-mail Document.
    Select "Share Original Document" or "Share Flattened Copy" from the E-mail Document dialog.
    Enter email recipient(s) in the To field.
    Tap Send in the upper right corner to send the PDF document as an email attachment.
    At Step 4, Reader may not display the E-mail Document dialog if the currently opened PDF document has some restrictions (e.g. no permission for editing, adding comments, and/or filling out form fields).  The original PDF document will be attached to an email automatically.
    To check if your PDF document has restrictions (that are specified by the author of the document), tap anywhere in the document to display the bottom toolbar.  If the bottom toolbar shows the lock icon, your PDF document has restrictions.
    When you tap the lock icon, the following popup will be displayed.
    If the lock icon is not visible in the bottom toolbar or the bottom toolbar is not visible, it means that your PDF document has no restrictions.
    Please let us know if you need further assistance.

  • How do you encrypt a PDF with Adobe reader, not Adobe Acrobat?

    I would like to encrypt PDFs using Adobe Reader. However, all instructions for encrypting a PDF require me to use Adobe ACROBAT, not Adobe READER. How do I encrypt a PDF using Adobe Reader?
    Extra Note: I use Adobe READER version XI and Mac OS X 10.9.
