Reader X and extended features

I'm testing files in Reader X and getting a message saying "...use of extended features is not longer available." Will my editable pdfs not work in Reader X? In Reader 9.4.1 anyone opening the files can change the text in my form areas and save the files.

This can happen for a number of reasons, but in general, PDFs with usage rights should work with Reader 10. I'd be happy to take a look at a sample file if you can post it somewhere or can email it to me at acroscript at gmail dot com.

  • 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.
    After trying to open the doc (nothing displays) I go to properties, and it says ...
    Title: 2011 Form 8829
    Author: SE:W:CAR:MP
    Created: 12/23/2008
    PDF Producer: Adobe LiveCycle DSesigner ES 8.2.
    PDF Version: 1.7 (Acrobat 8.x)
    Tagged PDF: No
    Fast Web View: No
    What do I do to resolve this ... I only have this version of Reader ... nothing else.

  • Versions of Reader supported by Extending Features

    Good morning,
    I have created a fillable PDF form with a digital signature block.  I am using Acrobat X Pro.  I have saved the form as a Reader Extended PDF and Enabled Additional Features.  In testing the form, some users are able to successfully digitally sign, but others are not.  I have gone back to ask which version of Adobe Reader they're using (those who can't sign).  Is anyone aware that enabling those features will only support certain (recent) versions of Reader?  I believe opening the form in Apple's Preview program would be a problem as well -- they'd need to actually force it to open in Reader.  Am I missing something else?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi PGM820,
    You are correct here, There would be no problem to those customer who are using Adobe Reader to fill the PDFs however if they would be using Preview to fill the PDFs then they would not be able to sign. You have to ask them to use Adobe Reader for filling up the PDFs

  • Report with both read-only and uploadable features

    Client would like to use one report as both an uploadable report and as a read-only report, depending on user.
    Is there any way to have a report which gets security based on the user making the request, say, by hiding the upload button for the user without the rights to it, or by validating before the upload occurs?
    Thank you.

    Hi Venkat,
    You can get logged in user name using the code below in your report
    ThisWorkbook.InterlaceSession.Username ---> This will return who is logged in.
    Similarly you also have other properties like
    ThisWorkbook.InterlaceSession.IsAdmin
    ThisWorkbook.InterlaceSession.IsOwner
    ThisWorkbook.InterlaceSession.IsParticipant
    ThisWorkbook.InterlaceSession.IsApprover
    Based on these you should be able hide update changes button with simple VB code.
    Thanks

  • Where is located "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat XI?

    When you create a form and you want the user to fill it and save it with the filled data, you have to select in Acrobat Pro the menu option "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader".
    But in Acrobat XI There is no "Advanced" menu and I can't find "Extended features in Adobe Reader" anywhere.
    How the hell is it done with Acrobat XI?

    I'm not sure. This one in particular has changed to some extent every time since it was first available with Acrobat 8:
    For future reference:
    A7: Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader
    A7: Tools > Typewriter > Enable Typewriter tool in Adobe Reader
    A8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

  • How to extend features in Acrobat Reader for Livecycle pdfs

    Have a PDF I created wit
    h Livecycle.  I'm trying to extend features in Acrobat Reader so that the form will be fillable with acrobat reader but that option is not ena
    bled?  Anyone know where the magic button for this is?

    I already done this three times and 'extend features in Acrobat REader' is still disabled.
    I'm using Livecycle ES and Acrobat Pro 9.  When I 'save as' in Livecycle my only option is 'Acrobat (static) PDF Form', and when I open the PDF document in acrobat pro I get a blue-bar that says i am viewing the document in PDF/A mode.  Does any of that raise any "red flags"?

  • Difference between LC Reader extensions and Acrobat's Extend Features

    Hello,
    is there any difference between the way, how works LC's Reader Extensions service and Acrobat's Extend Features?
    We have a pdf form, which we can extend (enable features like saveing filled pdf form) by Acrobat, but extending by LC ES2 service trhrows exception:
    ALC-RES-001-019: The input document is not a valid document type for  this operation.
    com.adobe.internal.pdftoolkit.core.exceptions.PDFCosParseException:  Expected 'xref' : 437523
    The document was not build by LC Designer nor Acrobat.
    Thanks.

    If you go to adobe.com take a look at the the acrobat feature sheet, in particular the one that shows the different features available in Reader vs. Acro Standard vs. Acro Pro. Basically RE enables Reader to use features available in Acrobat Standard. There are tons of features available in Acrobat Pro beyond that, but they are more typically features used by form developers rather than end users.
    Sorry Aandi, got to correct you, but RE'ing a PDF can allow it to access a DB via ODBC. However, I would personally recommend you make a web service call and let the server handle hitting the DB if needed. It is much more secure, less work to set up (don't need a local ODBC connection on each client), and easier to work with IMO.

  • How can I extend features and enable typewriter tool in Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    I have forms that I need users to be able to complete and save, but they also need to be able to use the typewriter tool to type stuff in areas of forms that don't have fields. Is this possible? If I enable the typewriter, I can't extend features and vice-versa...

    It's one or the other. Not both.

  • 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...

  • Extended features error in Adobe Reader X

    Friends,
    I am trying to fill out some application forms available at the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. I have saved these forms on computer hard drive. Although the forms say that they can be filled and saved on computer in order to make future changes, I am not able to do so. Everything seems fine when I fill out the form the first time but when I save the form and open it up at a later time, I receive the following message in Adobe Reader:
    "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."
    After this message is received, I can open and see these forms but cannot edit it any more. Due to this, I have to start over from zero in order to make even a small change. Please help me solve this problem. I am using Acrobat X and Windows 7 operating system.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Joe Sekhon

    Thanks very much for looking into this Pat. Here is the link for one of those forms:
    http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5481E.pdf
    Hopefully, when you download it and save it on your computer, fill it and close it and then reopen it for editing, you will get the same error as me. Once again, thanks very much.

  • How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

    When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.

  • This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed...

    I am trying to distribute an interactive order form to approx. 50 recipients with Acrobat X Standard which I purchased recently.  Computer is Windows 7.
    I can go through the form editing and distribution as usual, but when I (or a recipient) opens up the distributed form with Adobe Reader, they get the message: “This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.”
    Oddly enough, sometimes is does work, but 90% of the time it doesn’t.
    And I have another, older XP computer with Acrobat X installed, and it works fine 100% of the time – weird....can anyone help?

    Hi Ken
    We have so many people who have not updated they are trying on 9. I might just have to tell them we can’t support under reader 10.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Reader Extended Features not available in downloaded PDF

    I've posted a form on my website with Reader Extended Features enabled so it can be "Ink Signed". Finding that the extended features are not available in browser Reader plugins, I created a link to the PDF with PHP that allows it to be downloaded, then opened with the standalone version of Reader, but still get the message "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document." If I open my original local copy of the PDF it still has Extended Features enabled. What's changing in the downloaded copy?
    Created in Acrobat Pro 9, opened in Reader 9.3.4
    Thanks for any insight.

    Bernd--thanks for your interest. I found that the problem was the PHP script that I was using to force the PDF to download instead of open in the browser plugin. I used several variations of the script with the same results--seemed to be altering the contents of the PDF which cancelled the Reader Extended Features. A solution that I found was to add
    <FilesMatch "\.(pdf)$">
      ForceType application/octet-stream
      Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>
    to the .htaccess file. Since I only wanted one PDF (not all of them on the site) to be affected, I put it and the .htaccess file in a subdirectory and linked to it there. The PDF now downloads with Reader Extended Features intact.
