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.

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.

Hi,
Is there any service or API to check whether a form is reader extended in a work flow process. Also, information like when the form is reader extended and by which reader extension credential it is applied. Any way to get all this information in a work flow? Thank you.

I think there is something to help you on that

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???

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,

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.

Reader Extended PDF not working for some users

I've created a document in Adobe X Pro and saved it as a Reader Extended PDF with Enabled Commenting & Markup. Most users are having no problem adding comments (by attaching a file) but I have a few users having issues (one with Adobe Reader 9 for Mac and one with Adobe Reader X for Windows). They are seeing the bar at the top telling them they cannot save data in the form, and they do not have access to any of the commenting or markup features.
Thoughts?

Which web browsers are they using to download the PDF file? If you send them the Extended PDF file via email are they able to connect to the Shared Review?

Acrobat won't save as a Reader Enabled PDF File

Hello Everyone,
I'm having troubles with creating an editable PDF. What my goal is for this document I'm creating is that when I send this doc to others they can fill in their name and be able to import their logo into this document. Because you can't create an image field, my work around is creating a signature field for where they can place their logo. Anyhow, my problem is that as soon as I create the signature field in Acrobat, I cannot save it as a Reader Extended PDF, because all of the options are greyed out. I've tried changing some of the security settings to allow for this, but its not working. I just want someone to be able to open Adobe Reader and be able to use this signature box. If there is anyone that can help I would really appreciate it.
All the best!
m2b

Hi m2b,
Do you sign the document before extending the features? If you do then make sure "Lock the Document after signing" checkbox is not checked. Try this:
Clear all signature fields.
Click on the field that you want to sign
"Sign Document" window will appear
In the left bottom corner this check box will appear.
Uncheck it.

Form Creation in Acrobat X Pro - unable to save as Reader Extended PDF

I am using Acrobat X Pro on the Windows 7 OS. I have created a document in Word (Office 2010), saved it as a PDF and added form fields. When I try to Save As Reader Extended PDF, the options are grayed out. How do I create a form from a Word document that allows all end users to be able to type in the fields, use a digital signature, save a copy and print the PDF with the completed fields?

In create the document in MS Word and save the file. Then I select print, and choose Adobe PDF as my printer to save it as a PDF. I then open the PDF file and select Tools, Forms, to create the form and add fields as needed. After I'm finished, I attempt to "Save As" and try to select Reader Enabled PDF, but the options are grayed out and unavailable.

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.
