Preventing Extend Features for Reader when distributing form

I am distributing a form created in LiveCycle and will have the form responses automatically tracked on an internal server. The distributed form is not sent out via email, but rather stored on the shared internal server. With Acrobat Pro 9, the distribute form function automatically extends Reader rights, which I do not want to happen with the form being stored on a shared server. The form will have secure information in it & responses are sent to a folder that will have write capabilities only.
Any info on how to prevent the extenstion of Reader rights when distributing the form is appreciated.

Something happened to the file after the time that it was Reader-enabled. It was modified in a way that invalidates the digital signature that controls whether the usage rights are valid. I seem to recall the GoLive can be configured to modify (optimize somehow?) PDFs when it uploads them, and you definately don't want this to happen for Reader-enabled documents. I don't have GoLive, so I can't check what setting it is, but you should be able to look for yourself. A workaround would be to upload via some other means, such as FTP. I'd be interested to know if this makes a difference.

  • Extending features for Reader

    A previous thread noted that, to enable security-related settings (including commenting) in Reader for an Acrobat-generated PDF, you have to select Extend features in Adober Reader from the Advanced menu. Does any one know if there's a setting in Acrobat (9 Pro Extended, v.9.2) to make the feature extension the default property?

  • Preserving PDF version after Save during "Extend Features in Reader"

    Hi,
    I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I'm attempting to make a fillable form that needs to be compatible with Acrobat 5 (PDF v1.4) . I can make the form, but when I extend features in reader, the copy it saves is PDF v1.6 (Acrobat 7). Is there any way to maintain the PDF version when doing this, or is this not possible with V1.4 PDFs?
    Thanks.

    "Reader enabling" was introduced with version 1.5 (Acrobat 6).
    Be well...

  • Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader X - Enable Extended Features for Form

    Using Acrobat Pro 8.3.0, I "Enabled Usage Rights for Adobe Reader" for a fillable form created in LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  The following error message occurs when opening this form in Reader X:
    "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 this document."
    The form has not been changed and as mentioned, I am the author.  Any solutions to allow user in Reader X to fill-in form?  Do I need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X?

    I am having same problem with a 2011 year tax PDF fill in form I JUST got from IRS website.  The actual form is the 2011 8829.
    I can not open the PDF from the web browser or if I save it to my local drive. 
    I have not been able to open it at all ... thus I have made NO changes.
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit, Adobe Reader X version 10.1.4.

  • Reader Extend Feature for sign document

    If you like to sign the PDF document in Reader, please apply Reader Extend feature from Acrobat product first and save the file, and then you can sign the document in Reader.
    Some user will sign the document first and apply Reader Extend feature later, this workflow will break the sign workflow.
    Thanks for Acrobat product customers to use the product and give us this useful feedback.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Extend features to reader

    My question is simple.
    When I create a pdf in Microsoft Word 2007 using the acrobat add in, how do I "extend the features to reader" on the pdf I'm creating to allow other to comment and/or markup?
    Or do I have to create the pdf from the word document in Acrobat itself to enable the extended features?
    Please help, I'm going insane.

    Hope this helps!!!
    Open the PDF and choose Comments > Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Adobe Reader.

  • How to remove "submit form" button that's generated when distributing form without Designer

    When I open it in Designer to delete the image all of my java gets screwed up, so I'm hoping there is a solution that doesn't involve updating all of the code. I'm using PDF Expert 5 and Box because adobe's reader is absolute garbage.
    Thank you in advance!

    Sorry for not being clear, LC Designer.
    Here is a screenshot of the submit form button in a blank form that's automatically inserted when distributing. If I open it in LC Designer I can remove the submit form button but it screws up all java and formatting. (sorry for not inserting an image or link, adobe'ss forums are about as well developed as its software)

  • Automatically opening Acrobat reader when PDF form is downloaded

    Hello.
    Hope we are all well.
    I am wondering if there was a  way to have the PDF form open up automatically in Acrobat Reader when the customer downloads it. Unfortunately I am dealing with people who aren't that internet savvy and usually impatient about it (they are tradies, mainly plasterers), so when they download the PDF form and try to open it, the web browser will try to open the PDF in another page making the "submit" button to stop working. Is there any tricks to bypass the browser from doing this so I can have it opened directly by acrobat reader if it is already installed on their pc? Cheers.

    That's a shame. I have put a description on the page explaining (with a link) they will have to open in Acrobat for the submit button to work. I was hoping there might be a script to stop the browser trying to open the PDF form instead of Acrobat. Thanks for your reply .

  • Mailto changes when distributing form

    There appears to be a bug in LC/Acrobat when distributing the form because Im creating a submit button with the mailto: to a specific address. Then, after distributing the form it changes that address to the email address set on my preferences!
    It wasn't doing this a month ago! I have created several forms that work perfectly and suddenly it started doing this. I've tried this in 5 different computers/licences with the same result.
    I raised a ticket and they helped me amend the form but still when I distribute it (I need the response file) it keeps changing the email address!
    Any help would be most welcome!

    i am having the same issure. It's driving me crazy. I setup a submit buttone with a mailto url. I distribute the form and the submit button email changes to the my preferences identity email.

  • LiveCycle Form - Extend Features to Reader to allow save

    I created a PDF form in LiveCycle Designer ES2.  I want to allow users to update form and save, but I can't figure out how to extend these features in LiveCycle.  I can open the PDF form in Acrobat X Pro, but when I attempt to edit I'm forced to use LiveCycle Designer.  There is no option to edit in Acrobat X Pro.

    If you use this feature on a web site or for many users, be sure to read the license restrictions (they start at about 500 uses of the form).

  • How to enable Extended Features in Reader 10

    I have pdf forms that were created in Acrobat 8 Pro. Users could change the fields on the forms and save them. Our Enterprise has since "upgraded" to Reader 10. Users can longer make changes in the fields of the forms created in v.8 Pro. I have read the solution in this forum to this issue, which is:
    "To Reader-enable a document in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
    Do this as the final step when preparing the document to be sent out."
    However, I do not have File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF. Under the File > Save As menu, I only have PDF or Text, not Reader Extended. So how can I fix these pdf's so users can edit the fields and save them? We have hundreds of these documents we need to edit then save. Many thanks.

    If your menu only says "PDF" and "Text" you're in Adobe Reader, not Acrobat.

  • Error message when distributing forms

    Hi:
    I am working in Adobe Acrobat Professional and Livecycle 8. Our client uses Acrobat Reader 9 to view forms, so I downloaded it for testing. I recently attempted to distribute a form from LiveCycle, but Reader 9 opens and Livecycle shows a Server Busy dialog box with an option to Switch to or Retry. Neither button works, and the distribute process eventually cancels telling me that Adobe Professional isn't responding. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
    any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Diane,
    you are using HTTPS to access Forms Services, as i take it from the URL further down below. It seems that the Forms Service cannot connect to the server and the operation times out. Can you verify that
    https://<your server>/forms90/java/f90all_jinit.jar
    downloads the f90all_jinitz.jar file ?

  • Can't automatically open a message for reading when highlighting

    I just transferred all my files from my iMacG4 to my new iMacG5. Occasionally, when I open the mail, and it downloads, a new email comes in, flashes in the inbox briefly, then disappears. If I shut down the mail program, then re-open it, the mail is there. This had just begun happening on the G4 before moving the files, too.
    Additionally, I used to be able to highlight an email, and whatever was highlighted was open to read. Now, for some reason in the last couple of days, I have to double click on each individual mail to read it and it opens in another window. Can this be fixed?

    You have minimized the message preview pane. The support article describing the operation of the preview pane, that I can quickly find, is at:

  • Extended Features to Sign Documents from LiveCycle in Reader XI

    I used LiveCycle to create the form, save it as Static then open in Adobe Acrobat XI to save as - extended features for adobe reader.
    The 'Sign' toolbar is all gray.  I have tried with the LiveCycle field as a signature and also as just text fields and nothing seems to give me the ability to apply a signature.
    Any help to get the Sign features available would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Kendra

    I don't have anything that says Sign, to select...please see images of my Reader. The only thing that I can see that is in reference to "Sign" is when it is referring to the pane on the left side of Reader to show all the signature fields in the form. I use to have a Pane on the Right side for in-person signing with a mouse and EchoSign integration.
    Thanks so much for helping.
