Prevent "save overs" in a form with extended features enabled

How would I control people from "saving over" an enabled form once they have filled it in. I looked in the security settings but nothing looks like it would prevent that, if they just click Save instead of Save As. I thought someone here might have the answer? Thanks for the help in advance.

Another approach is to construct the field name string and make it available for the user to copy & paste, either from another form field or the text field in an app.response JavaScript dialog. They can copy the file name and past it into the File > Save dialog, which you can trigger in the Mouse Up action of a button using an "Execute a menu item" type action.

Merged pdf with "extend features in adobe reader" rights

Hi all,
I would like to merge a pdf file into my basic pdf form with "extend features in adobe reader" rights but I would like to keep my basic form without those rights.
My problem is that when I try to open my basic form and link to my merged attachement file, the merged file becomes not modifiable even with "extend features in adobe reader" rights turned on.
Any suggestion to solve my problem?
Thx in advance for your help

Not possible with Adobe Acrobat. You may check this product:

Dynamically Fill PDF form (extended features enabled forms)

Hi Tarek
Firstly let me say thank you for the great help you are doing through the forum.
With Google, I did a very long search to find out how to fill a PDF form from a database. I achieved this using the iTextSharp dll. But this dll not supporting adobe extended features. thatsy once i filled forms using this class, result form will be flat form and we cant fill it manually again. even this will disable adobe extended features when i open it in adobe reader.
I am working with a project to simplify immigration process (CANADA). I already have all immigration forms created using LiveCycle. That means when i open these form in free Adobe Reader I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline).
My Workflow as follows
1. I am working with .Net Frame Work 2, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Applications (not Web/ASP)
2. I have fillable forms designed using Adobe LiveCycle (I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline) using Adobe Reader).
3. I have to dynamically fill these forms with data from a database (data is already available and its almost achieved using iTextSharp Dll)
4. Once its dynamically filled, I will send these forms to client through email, because some of the data should be filled by client.
5. client can open these forms in free Adobe Reader and they can fill and save these forms(because Adobe extended feature enabled in this form, so they can fill and save in Adobe Reader)
6. Once they fill and save the form, they will send back final form to us through emal (no Online Submit required).
7. We will check it and finalize, take printout and attach to our document management system.
8. I can't use any great technologies bcz I dont need any online Submision/Rejection thing and our budjet is low.
9. I am looking some technologies same as itextShar, simply fill data to form and save it as a new PDF, but it should support Adobe Extended Featers( what is currently not available in iTextSharp), so that customer can fill and save it again using simple and free ADOBE READER.
That's it !!
could u please verify my workflow is correct or not, bcz am new to PDF things and can u please suggest me solution to achieve this.
Thanks in advance

iTextSharp doesn't enable usage rights in PDF forms, so any changes will invidate the form.
To bypass the validitiy of the Usage Rights, server the XDP data from the buffer of a web server, and point the File to the PDF on the same web server.
Usage rights will still be enabled, and the form can be saved or downloaded.
Also, please be sure to check out FDFToolkit.net, and PDFEmail.net.

Problems with extended features. I can no longer fill out my documents in the fields provided. The error message I get is "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for original version of this document."

Yes. I don't have the version you pay for. I also tried the free version
of EchoSign. Maybe that caused the problem.
Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cross Site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled into sharepoint 2010??

Hi,
Is it possible to cross site collection navigation in share point 2010 with publishing feature enabled? Right now we have a site collection with all the departmental sites within it. We are trying to create separate site collection with separate content
database for each department for better management. But problem with Global navigation as OOB does not provide cross site collection navigation functionality, So looking for multiple site collections or navigation for more than one site collection under single
umbrella. i was able to get the cross site collection navigation in my development env without publishing feature enabled using below link. But problem with production environment, as all the site collections and sites are publishing feature enabled. how i
am gonna do cross site navigation with publishing feature enabled?
http://www.itsolutionbraindumps.com/2011/10/sharepoint-2010-cross-site-collection.html
Any link or suggest will be greatly appreciated !

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled in SharePoint 2010.
Publishing sites (sites with publishing infrastructure) have their own navigation API, and it is much more complicated task to preserve cross-publishing sites navigation.
We need to implement our own custom navigation provider.
Please refer to the link below about the cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled:

Best regards.

Saving pdf form with extended Reader rights

Hello,
I want to save form changes without further confirmations in Reader version X ("Save" and not "Save as...").
- If you use a pdf form with enabled Reader rights, you should be able to save any changes made in form field by using the Reader.
- To save changes use "File / Safe" or press CRTL+S
Result:
- Save-as window will appear
- After choosing save button you will be asked to overwrite existing file.
Expected results:
File should be saved without further confirmations! In Reader version 9 there was no problem with that.
Does anybody had the same problem and found a solution?
Regards,
Christian

OK, it seems to be a typical "it's-not-a-bug-it's-a-feature"-problem. But I found no way to avoid the overwrite question during saving. I noticed that the question appears only the first time when you click on the save button. If you do further changes in form fiels and click a second time on the save button the document will be overwritten without additional warnings. Maybe it's a feature to prevent users from overwriting empty forms by asking for a new filename and so on..
However, we are using the reader in conjunction with a document management software and the overwrite warning disturbs our enterprise workflow. So the only insufficient solution for my problem is to downgrade all users to version 9 again.
Hope next version of reader will be better in disabling unwanted features ;-)
Regards, Christian

Cannot Save Form Information pop-up in Reader, Extend Features enabled in Acrobat

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to created fillable forms. Once they are created, I save with the "Extend Features to Adobe Reader" before uploading to my intranet for use. Despite that, my users accessing the form via Adobe Reader are told upon opening with a pop-up that they "Cannot Save Form Information, etc". I have googled this issue and searched the forums, and cannot figure out why my Extend Features isn't working and my users can't save their form data.
Help!

How can I compress a large fillable form with extended rights?

Hello:
I have about 15 fillable PDF s that I created in LiveCycle ES2. One form is 37,616 kb and takes forever to download from the web. I attempted to zip the file, but when I tested it, text could no longer be saved after it was unzipped (the forms have extended rights as users need to be able to enter in a save text they enter into it). Does anyone have any suggestions re: how I might be able to compress my PDF file, while still being able to maintain the ability to enable savable text (extended rights)?

Just tried it here and it worked fine ....are you sure you zipped the Reader Extended version of the form?

Can't sign signature with extended features.

I have a student who is unable to sign a pdf document with features extended for Adobe Reader. Nothing happens when she clicks on the signature field. I open the document and I have no issues signing it. The student says she has the most recent version of Adobe Reader. Does anyone know what might cause this issue?

What you're describing is what happens when the form has not been Reader-enabled, or the extended features are no longer valid. It's hard to say what's wrong without seeing the same document that she's using. It's also possible that even though she says she has the latest version of Reader, that she's actually using something else to view the PDF, such as Preview on the Mac, the built-in PDF viewer with Firefox or Chrome, or something else.

Reader can't open file saved with "Extended Features"

Any help would be appreciated.
File created with Acrobat Pro 9.
File opens fine under Windows and Linux, but can't be saved.
Enable "Extended Features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat Pro 9.
File can be saved under Windows, but gives an error in Linux.
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe 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 the document."
The file opens, but is unusable. Nothing can be entered into any of the fields.

I had the same problem earlier this week -- I created a PDF with Acrobat 9, enabled for commenting, sent out to coworkers, who then reported the "use of extended features is no longer available" message. After many, many troubleshooting permutations, I finally found the problem to be related to the timestamp on the file.
I am on the US east coast, and the document was sent to coworkers on the US west coast, 3 hours earlier. When they opened the document, it appeared to be "from the future" (lol) and therefore suspect. This was born out by the fact that the next day, the file behaved as expected for them. I also verified this on a test system, where I was able to switch the time setting. By the way, this happened with both Reader 8 and 9.
So, I guess the workaround is either to change your computer's time before sending a file with rights extensions to someone in an earlier time zone, or create it and hold it until they have caught up with the time in the file's timestamp.
That has to be about the weirdest bug I have encountered to date...and I have no idea why it showed up this week. I have been sending out PDFs enabled for commenting for a couple years.

How to "save as" a pdf form with another name? So not over the same document, is it possible?

I have made a form in acrobat pro and i want use this form on the Ipad. But on the Ipad with acrobat reader save the document automatically and i want save all the versions and not finally one document..Can somebody tell me this is possible or not?!

It sounds like you want to duplicate a PDF document. View the document list, and click Edit. Select the document to be duplicated. Select the Duplicate/Move icon (on an iPhone the icon shows two documents). Select Duplicate.

How do you save a PDF fillable form with a Samsung Tablet and still continue to have access to the original document?

We are using the Samsung Note and have uploaded a PDF form for fieldwork crews to enter vegetation data. When we have filled in the form there is no option to save the form under a different name but rather the form simply saves itself with the most recent information placed in it. We understand that you can send it through Acrobat.com to your account but the tablet will not access this site while in the PDF app. Does anyone know of an app or a way that we can create individually saved files and still have access to the original on the tablet?

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

Batch Conversion PDF 1.4 to 1.8 with Extending the "Enabling Additional Features"

Hoping someone can help me with this. I'm by no means proficient in Acrobat. I have thousands of PDFs that are 1.4 that I need to convert to 1.8 and have user's be able to use the form fields and sign with Acrobat Reader 9.
We interface with these pages from the web. I am using ColdFusion Builder CS5 to pre-populate some of the form fields on the PDF pages when they come up on the web then the users fill out the rest. Up until now we have been using Adobe v 5 (1.4) and putting off the upgrade. Most users are now on Reader 9 so I need to get this upgrade done. I'm using Acrobat X. My theory was to use the Action Wizard, make Adobe PDF my default printer--making sure that it is set up to convert to Standard--1.8. Using the Action Wizard, set up the directory where all of the PDFs currently reside as the Start With "A Folder on My Computer" then as a Step use the "Printer". Then as the 3rd Step Save To: "A Folder On my Computer:" Just another destination Folder where it can dump then up-converted files. It does convert the files to the new version however my problem is it does so without the "Enabling Additonal Features. The users can't use the form features or sign from Reader 9. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Acrobat does not support automation of the Reader-extension process by any method. It is a feature which Adobe reserve solely for their LiveCycle server product range.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for saving as a Reader Extended PDF with additional features enabled? If not, how can I make one?

I'm using Acrobat 10 on a Mac running 10.9.3
Thank you!

What you can do is use a folder-level script that adds a toolbar button that executes this command. It will give you single-click access to it, but you'll still need to go through the dialogs and save the file manually.
