Reader enabling plug-in on Mac OS X

Hi,
I have successfully created and reader-enabled a plug-in on a Windows platform (prooving that the KeyPair and certificate I have are correct).
The same plug-in works fine too with Acrobat on Mac OS X.
But I could not manage to reader-enable it on Mac OS.
In the Release notes / Issues for Acrobat XI SDK, I've found this :
MakeKey Reader-enabling Tool
At this time, the MakeKey tool for Reader-enabling does not generate keys if you are using Mac OS 10.x on MacIntel or Windows Vista on 64-bit machines. Please check www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_developer periodically for future updates to this tool.
And in the Tools folder for mac in the SDK in empty... I've tried with similar tools provided with 9.1 SDK but... even it SignPlugin says the plugin has successfully been enabled... it does not load...
So... How is it possible toe reader-enable a plug-in for MacOS X ?
TIA,
J.

Reader-enabled fillable form is corrupted on Mac

I created a Reader-enabled (extended) fillable form that can work fine if filled out in and saved in Reader. But some users are opening and filling out the form in their browser. When it is returned to me, it is unopenable. If the form is forwarded to an android phone, the file opens fine. If the form is then forwarded back to my e-mail I can open it. What is happening? What can I do to prevent the corrupted form?

You are going to have to find out what apps are being used on the Mac and android phones to fill-in the form. Unfortunately most users just click on the PDF and use what ever opens the PDF and might not even know what app is being used.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

I have an ipod classic 120 gb. I had music on my ipod that I had gotten from other people's itunes libraries by changing my settings to manually sync my ipod. However, twice I have had my ipod plugged into my mac and it completely erased everything

I have an ipod classic 120 gb. I had it set up so that I manually sync and manage my music. Twice I have had my ipod plugged into my mac and it had erased everything on my ipod. All the music on my itunes was still in my library, but all the other music was lost. I understand that I need to go back to the other libraries I got that music from, but how do I make sure that my ipod doesn't keep syncing and erasing itself? Also, now every five minutes a message will pop up on my itunes saying that it cannot sync because of an unknown error and then it has the number 13014. I have no idea what that is about. Does anyone else go through this? How do I fix it?

Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

HT4907 Password Issue when attempting to enable Back to My Mac in iCloud Preferences - HELP?

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have a problem enabling Back to My Mac. When I try and enable B2MM in the iCloud preferences window, I am asked to enter my Apple ID password. It says the password is incorrect, even though it IS 100% correct. I've even tried resetting my password (so that the password lives up to the latest security requirements for passwords, etc). So, it's definitely correct, and I'm able to login to my Apple account here (on this Apple laptop as well as on my iPad and iPhone)... it's not an issue when I log in anywhere else... I am only told my password is incorrect when attempting to enable Back to My Mac in the iCloud preferences pane.
Help?
Many thanks!

Do these make installation of memeo superfluous? Would I need memeo for daily back up?
From what I gather, you couldn't pay me to use Memeo, nor actually a Seagate enclosure, nor many USB only drives, (USB is not bootable on PPC Macs).
I've used maybe a few dozen backup Apps on the Mac, and I'd personally judge only Apple's Time Machine worse than that one.
If you had it to do all over again, you'd get a case with Firewire, one with an Oxford chipset, not containing a Green Drive, not a Seagate Drive, not less than 7200 RPM drive, & a 32MB Cache, not with a One-Button touch feature, ( not a Bus powered drive like...

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!

Why do I get a message when trying to reader enable forms developed in Acrobat 9 that the form cannot be reader enabled?

After creating the form, I reader enable it. Then a message pops up saying the form cannot be reader enabled. When I try to reader enable it again, it says it's already reader enabled. Users are not able to fill out the form and save it. Only print. I would like them to be able to save the filled form. What am I doing wrong?

Plugin issue after using SignPlugin and Reader-enabling

Hi all,
I would like to ask for a help with plugin that we have developed for Adobe Reader.
We are running into an issue with the plug-in and I was hoping that you can help me out. It looks like plug-in works perfectly in the Acrobat but we have an issue with getting it to work with Reader as described below. I would greatly appreciate your help.
We have a problem with plugin after signing it using RIKLA certificate provided by Adobe and Reader-enabling.
Our plugin has been developed to allow users to sign PDF XML data from Reader user interface using custom library (sign library) and msxml3.dll library ( to transform PDF form XML into custom XML format). Plugin target is Adobe Reader 9 and it has been tested using Adobe Acrobat 9 earlier. Recently we received RIKLA certification key and after we tried to sign plugin and use it in Reader we started to have problems.
Plug-in, compiled directly from source code and installed in Adobe Acrobat 9 is working correctly. We haven’t experienced any issues and everything seems to be working properly.
The same plug-in signed using SignPlugin tools from Acrobat SDK 9.1 (command SignPlugin -kp keypairFileName -cf Reader_Integrated_Key_FileName MyPlugin.api) and RIKLA key is not working correctly in Adobe Reader 9.
The problem appears when plugin is trying to access external library msxml3.dll and execute createProcessor() function. The same function work properly in Adobe Acrobat 9 before sing plug-in with RIKLA key.
Below there is fragment with code that doesn’t work in Adobe Reader after reader-enabling but works in Adobe Acrobat.
Plug-in crushes in line pProcessor = pTemplate->createProcessor();.
try{
pProcessor = pTemplate->createProcessor();
} catch(_com_error &e) {
printf("Error setting XSL style sheet : %s\n",
         (const char*)_bstr_t(e.Description()));
AVAlertNote("Error setting XSL style sheet");
AVAlertNote(e.Description());
exit(-1);
Code that we use in catch() block lets us know that error source is “msxml3.dll” library.
As we have discovered problem occurs only after Reader-enabling .api plugin file. Clear compiled .api file works properly in Adobe Acrobat 9 without any problems.
We would like to know if you have experienced any similar issues? If yes, what have caused them?
Why same plugin is working in Acrobat 9 before signing and after signing using provided certificate it stops working?
Are there any restrictions of using external libraries in Reader that are not working there, and these restrictions are not obeyed in Acrobat?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Irosent,
Is there a way that Acrobat and Reader differentiate between library initialization?
Would it be useful if I place any part of code or project configuration for you so maybe you will be able to help?
Libraries that we use (our own dll files) we place in windows/system32 folder (there also exists msxml3.dll file that we use).
Here are preprocessor definitions that we have defined:
_AFXDLL
_USERDLL
READER_PLUGIN
NDEBUG
WIN_PLATFORM
WIN32
_WINDOWS
WIN_ENV
ACRO_SDK_LEVEL=0x00090000
As for library msxml3.dll that we use in code we have:
#import <msxml3.dll> named_guids
using namespace MSXML2;
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr
          pXml(MSXML2::CLSID_DOMDocument);
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr
          pXslt(CLSID_FreeThreadedDOMDocument);
IXSLTemplatePtr pTemplate(CLSID_XSLTemplate);
IXSLProcessorPtr pProcessor;
Later there is a part of code that I have posted in first post and where plugin crashes.
I would really appreciate your help.

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's instructions are only for Window devices.

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. I suspect corrupt software. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's on-line instructions are only for Window devices.

You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

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.
