Remove Extended Features with JavaScript?

A LITTLE HISTORY:
At first I was manually trying to crop a PDF using the Document > Crop Pages option in Acrobat Pro.
However, it told me that I could not crop the document because the document "restricts some features to allow for extended features in Acrobat Reader" and that I should Save a Copy in order to remove the restrcitions and be able to crop the document.
That was fine and that did indeed work by saving a copy. And, I was then able to crop the document.
However, now I have been given hundreds of these documents to crop and they all have this "extended features" thing enabled on them.
I was going to write a JavaScript batch command to crop the files (which I have done for previous projects) but it wouldn't work (I assume because of the extended features).
Then I tried writing a javaScript to saveAs all the documents with the asCopy option set to true.
That did not seem to work either because when I then tried to crop one of the saveAs files, I got the same "extended features" error.
QUESTION:
Does anyone know how I can programmatically get around this problem? Can I disable "extended features" via JavaScript? Can I do some sort of save or exprto or something that will strip it out? Am I simply doing something wrong? Or, is it just not possible?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

I haven't even gotten to the code part yet.
Here is a word-for-word transcription of the error message:
This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Acrobat Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), click Save a Copy.
This is an Adobe Acrobat dialog where I have a Save a Copy button and a Cancel button.
This warning message appears when I manually try to crop the document by using the Document -> Crop Pages option from Adobe Acrobat.
As I was originally asking:
Does anyone know how I can programmatically get around this problem via JavaScript? Can I disable "extended features" via JavaScript? Can I do some sort of save or export or something that will strip it out?
I have 320 documents I need to crop. I really don't want to have to manually Save a Copy for each document.
Thank you very much!

Remove extended features more than one document at a time.

Does anybody know how to remove the extended features in Adobe files in batch mode? Since the newest upgrade of Adobe reader, we are having to remove the extended features and have 702 forms to do this with! Our users are trying to add their image signature and now it prompts them to do a save as and then locate the saved copy. Seems there must be an easier way or a fix for this? Thanks all.

Hi melanie1621
Yes You can upload more than one document ...
Please do the following :
1. Click on upload files button under Acrobat.com
2. A pop will open .
3. Select more than one file by keeping the CTRL button pressed.
4. Once, you select all the files , Click on Open ...
It Will Start uploading all your files ...!

Emailing a document removes extended features in form

Hi all,
Spent hours on google and even with adobe tech support (1:45 - was nice of the guy to try for that long.. but no results).
I created a most basic form in Adobe 9 Pro Extended. Extended usage rights. On the computer I created it on, I can open it in Adobe Reader, fill out the forms, and submit it with no issues.
When I email it my second PC to test it, I get the (dreaded):
" 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".
But, nothing has changed. It was simply emailed.
Both PC's are running Windows 7, With MS Office 2010, both have fully updated Adobe Reader, and my Adobe 9 Pro extended is fully updated.
Any thoughts? Adobe escalated it to some super tech support group that is supposed to call me within 24 hours, but it's put a project of mine on hold (and driving me nuts) so trying to find a solution.
Thanks,
C

Sadly, it was a time stamp issue.
My times were correct, but I had one PC (the one I created it on) was off by 1 day for some reason. So when I sent it out it said it was incorrect because the document was 'created' at a time that didn't yet exist.
I read something about the time being off (timezones) but not dates. So silly, and thanks for the replies.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF 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

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.

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.

Acrobat Pro won't allow to save with Reader Extended Features

I've saved forms this way before because all the users of our forms only have the free Reader version. For some reason it now won't allow me to save with the extended features. When I save as and hover over "Reader Extended PDF" it shows my 3 options but none of them are clickable. I don't know why it has saved before, but it won't now.
I also have a secondary issue. A form I previously, successfully saved this way is now not working for one of the users. It won't allow her to save the information she inputs. To my knowledge it has not been changed and it has only been used by a few people. Why would it suddenly stop allowing her to save?
I am working on a Mac, but the users are all on PC's. I've never had this be an issue before though.

Be sure you're not in form editing mode when you attempt to enable the document.
Regarding not being able to save with Reader after initially being able to, this has been reported before many times but the casue is often elusive. The document has somehow changed in a way that prevents the usage rights from being validated. This is not supposed to happen, but it does.

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

Remove or isolate part with JavaScript?

Hi folks,
as you know you can remove or isolate parts in the modelhierarchy with a few clicks. Now I want to do exacactly the same with JavaScript to add this function to a button or something similar.
So I can have a button like "show part xy" and only this part is shown in the 3D view and other parts are not visible.
Is there any chance to do this?
I think there's a workaround with creating an animation like an exploded view where certain parts are removed. But a simple funtion would be much more easier I think.
thx in advance,
Tobias

Hi,
I didn't check whether the following code actually compiles and works, but maybe it does what you're trying to accomplish...
[3D annotation JavaScript code, associated with the container for Your embedded U3D model]
function makeAllMeshesInvisible ( )
var howManyMeshesInScene = scene.meshes.count;
for ( m=0; m < howManyMeshesInScene; m++ )
var myMesh = scene.meshes.getByIndex(m);
console.println("Making mesh " + myMesh.name + " invisible.");
myMesh.visible = false;
function makeMeshVisible ( meshName )
var myMesh = scene.meshes.getByName(meshName);
if ( myMesh )
myMesh.visible = true;
else
console.println("There is no mesh named " + meshName);
[Document JavaScript code, e.g. associated with a button]
// getAnnots3D(pageNum)[annotIdx]
context3D = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;
context3D.makeAllMeshesInvisible();
context3D.makeMeshVisible("nodeName");
Please note that the 3D viewer must be active for the button to work properly...
I hope it works and helps!

Extend Features in Adobe Reader with VBA?

I merge two PDFs with VBA in MS Access by using Adobe Acrobat X and save the new file with a new name. Before saving the file I want to set "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". But after App.MenuItemExecute "DIGSIG:UBDoc" a popup is opened and I have no idea to go on with saving the PDF.
Is there any way to set "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" without the popup and save the PDF with the new name in VBA?

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.

Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

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.

Can a Postscript file distill into a PDF with the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader..." activated?

I need to automate the activation of "Extend Features in Adobe Reader..." for PostScript jobs that distill into PDF forms.
Is there a pdfmark command I could add, or some other method that will do this?

Does not look like it's possible:
