Reader Extended PDF - Can I still make changes in Designer?

Hello,
We have Reader Extensions (along with various other LiveCycle products, but I don't think that matters here).
Everytime I wanted to update the form in Designer, I go back to my original form, make the changes, Apply the Reader Extensions to it, then save that extended form as a new file. I was wondering if that was all necessary?
So, once I apply reader extensions to my form, can I open this form back up within Designer and make changes to it and still have the Reader Extensions in place for that form?
I'm getting lost in documentation right now.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Hi..
I want to apply reader extensions to my xdp file since it calls a webservice (gets user details on lookup of his user id).since this is the init form for my workflow,i need it to be xdp.
Is there any way to apply reader extensions to xdp?
or Is it necessary that only xdp file needs to be present in a form variable in the workflow for it to work?
Regards,
Raghava Kumar VSS

HT4059 If I have downloaded journal articles in a PDF format in IBooks, can I still make notes and highlight?

If I have downloaded journal articles in a PDF format in IBooks, can I still make notes and highlight?

Are they ibooks, epubs, PDFs ? If they are epubs or ibooks then you might be able to either double-tap or press and hold a word and you should get a popup with one option on it being hightlight (though at least one of my ibooks doesn't get that option) - you can drag the grab points at the start and end of the word to extend the hightlighted text. You can then view your highlights by tapping the bullet point icon next to the Library button at the top left of the screen.
If it's a PDF then I think that you will need to find a different app, I don't think that you can do it in iBooks e.g. GoodReader might do what you want.

Can't open a reader extended pdf in IE

I have a form that was originally a word document and then converted to a pdf. I used Acrobat X Pro to create form fields and then saved it as a reader extended pdf with enabled additional features. I uploaded it to my web server and it opens fine in Google Chrome & Firefox, but when I try to open it with internet explorer I get a Runtime Error! message.
I uploaded it without the reader extended features and had the same result. I then uploaded the original converted pdf before I added the form fields and it opens fine in internet explorer. I am using Windows 7 and IE 8. I checked with someone using XP and IE 8 and they were able to open it with no problems. Not sure about Vista, but it seems there is something with Windows 7 using IE 8 and the form fields that is causing the problem. Can anyone help?
thanks

i forgot to add the links to the pages.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF created in Livecycle with Javascript functions built in

Afternoon
I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality. I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF. The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made. The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
I am using Adobe Pro XI.
Thanks in advance
Ben

At the moment I can't sorry. I've run the Javascript debugger in Adobe Pro and it seems there are some errors
Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 11.0
Acrobat SOAP 11.0
ReferenceError: Table is not defined

Basically the form has been built in Livecycle Designer and have drop down menus that show or hide tables depending on the selection but when I Reader Enable the form and users make a selection and then save the form it is not showing the table when it is opened again.
I appreciate your help

Save file for Reader Extended PDF

I created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro for a Customer who is using Reader 7 and they are unable to save text that they type in the form...which is the whole point of the forms they needs.
I've done some research and it all says that I need to save my form as a Reader Extended PDF, but that isn't an option when saving my files (and my form is closed for editing).
The only options I have under save as are as follows: Adobe PDF Files; Adobe PDF Files, Optimized; Encapsulated PostScript; HTML 3.2; HTML 4.01 with CSS 1.0; jpeg; jpeg2000; Microsoft Word Document; PDF/A; PDF/E; PDF/X; PNG; PostScript; Rich Text Format; Tables in Excel Spreadsheet; Text (Accessible); Text (Plain); tiff; XML 1.0
I'm sure there is something that I'm missing, and if someone could help point me in the right direction I would be very greatful, as would my customer.
Thank you in advance,
Tiffany

That worked, but now I'm having a different issue. If you know why that would be amazing. As stated before my customer is using Acrobat Reader 7. When they open the file they are getting an error message, but after cliking ok are able to open it and type in the document. When they save the file and open it back up the text is still there, but the form aspect of the file is gone, and it's just a normal PDF. They need to be able to use the form multiple times in case information changes they need to be able to edit it. Does she just need to upgrade to another version of reader?
Any insight would be appreciated.

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,
Sara

Automate save as reader extended pdf for commenting

Does anyone know a way to create an applet or droplet that will save a PDF as a reader-extended PDF for commenting?
I make lots of individual PDFs and each time I have to open the PDF and save as reader extended etc. Sometimes I forget.
Can this be done with Automator? Quickeys? An Acrobat Action? Applescript? I haven't figured it out yet but it sure would be helpful!

There is no Adobe supported means for automating the application of usage rights, apart from their LiveCycle Reader Extensions server-based product. This is a very intentional restriction.

Merging reader extended pdfs

I need to merge pages from two existing reader extended pdfs that have been filled in to create a report featuring responses from these seperate documents, each time I try to do this all the information entered into the first two PDFs disappears.
Do reader extended pdfs allow you to do this or is it frustratingly impossible?

The problem is that the field names in the files are the same, and fields
with the same name will have the same value. So when you merge the files,
the data from all of the files (except for one, probably the first or last
one in the list) is going to be lost.
The solution is to flatten the files first (which you can do in an Action
if you have Acrobat Pro), to remove the form fields and make the their
contents static. Then you'll be able to merge them without losing any data.

Saving a .pdf Created in Flare9 as Reader Extended PDF

When I first installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro and built .pdfs from Flare, I was able to save the .pdf with the "Reader Extended PDF" function. Now, that capability is no longer available and in order to access this feature I must save the .pdf and open X Pro, open the saved document and save, again, as X Pro. However, the actual commenting feature seems to be "hosed," and, in my capacity as a technical writer, this has gotten a bit frustrating. Is there something in the properties of X Pro that I need to reset? Thank you.

Not sure I understand the isssue. How were you building PDF files from Flare and getting a "Reader Extended PDF"? Was this a menu or option in Flare? For Acrobat it's always been either Save as [Extended Option], Send for Shared Review, or LiveCycle Reader Extension Server to get an Extended PDF file. Also, if your users have Adobe Reader XI, they can comment with Sticky Notes and Highlighters by default now.

Can no longer make changes on my site.

As the title says, I can no lonfger make changes to my site.
I have checked and rechecked the site access details and they are correct. Pressing the "Test" button under the Advanced settings in the site definitions for "Remote Info" tells me that Dreamweaver MX2004 connected successfully.
Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

I have been in touch with the hosting company and they have sorted the problem out for me. Thank you.
I don't see what the operating system would have to do with such a problem anyway .....
And thank you to Chris and to Murray for your responses.

File Save As Other Reader Extended PDF Enable Commenting & Measuring GRAYED OUT

I have an PDF form created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 10.0.
When I open in Reader, All the "Sign" options are grayed out.
Under "Properties" Signing is allowed but Commenting is not.
From all I have seen, I hope that allowing Commenting will allow me to use the sign features.
The only solution I'm finding on the internet is below:
File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting & Measuring
It is grayed out in my (latest version of) Acrobat pro.
**Is there a way to make this option available?**
**Will this even solve my problem?**
**Is it possible that it is impossible to use these features on this document?**
At this point, I've spent about two and a half hours on this issue and haven't been able to find a solution. Very frustrated.
Thanks.

Thanks. I'm not an IT person and needed that lead.
In the end, I just printed to Adobe PDF and then was able to use the commenting options (once I had flattened it). For those who might come across this - this is one of the only ways to flatten a XFA PDF.

Form underlines all become solid boxes when saved as Reader Extended PDF

I create a form with Live Cycle Designer ES2.
My firm prefers underlines, not solid boxes, and not sunken boxes.
Underlines.
The form looks good, but as soon as I save it in Acrobat Pro X as a Reader Extended PDF->Enable Additional Features, all the underlines automatically turn into solid boxes.
A co-worker creates similar forms purely in Acrobat Pro X (NOT Live Cycle); none of his underlines ever morph into boxes.
The general opinion around these parts is that the boxes look hideous.
Is this normal behavior? Why does it only happen with forms created in Live Cycle?
What can I do to keep the underlines I spent so much time creating in the first place?

Thank you for the info, George. I have posted an example on dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyiudku6pqm3kxf/rehire%20packet%20rev%20Mar%202013%20%28full%203 a3%29.pdf
I'm getting closer to resolving as at now text can be entered in non-signature boxes. Given who will be completing these forms I'll stick to e-signature rather than digital. Do I use a different form field for those or does the recipient plug that in from the Sign section in Reader?

Can I still make a playlist of podcasts with the new podcast app?

Can I still make a playlist of podcasts with the new podcast app?

No, for some reason it's not included as one of the features of the Podcast App.
If you need playlists (as many of us do), then delete the Podcast App and podcasts will return to the music app, complete with podcast playlist functionality.

Reader Extended PDF, Enable More Tools (includes from fill-in & Save)-

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI version 11.0.6, I scanned a document to PDF and added a digital signature. I saved the PDF. I then reopened the PDF and saved it with a different name as follows:
Save As Other…
Reader Extended PDF
Enable More Tools (includes from fill-in & Save)…
When I email the PDF to be signed, the recipient opens the form in Reader XI, but immediately gets this message: "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."
This document was not changed; it was sent as an email attachment right after it was saved with extended features.
What is the fix for this?
I am using Window 7 Professional (64-bit).

I have done it both ways. If I create a new form from a PDF, it will not allow me to save it directly to extended features. I have to do as you said: save it, close it, and reopen it to save it as extended. Just adding a digital signature will allow me to save it directly with extended features. I have, however, done it with the save, close, and reopen method as well.
The weird thing about all of this is that the person setting in the next office, running the same version of everything, has NO issues with this. Maybe it is a Windows setting???
