Security issues with Livecycle Designer

In the past, I have been able to modify and change documents inside of Adobe Acrobat after creating the forms inside of LD. I've recently run into a problem where the security settings in Adobe Acrobat continue to advise that it is unable to make changes to the document, which prevent me from inserting or deleting pages. I was able to save documents into a .PDF format from LD without any issues before a week or so ago. I've searched high and low for an answer, but cannot determine why it would have suddenly changed
I'm using Livecycle Designer ES2. I've modified the program in several different ways, but none of them allow me to change the security settings to allow Acrobat to perform the functions that it used to.
Printing the document from LD into a PDF is not an option, as I still need others to have the ability to modify/add answers inside of the created forms.
Thank you in advance!

If your form has been saved as dynamic PDF you have a XDP file in a PDF shell.
This kind of PDF (XFA form) is totally different to regular static PDF.
Acrobat simply does not allow to modify dynamic PDFs because it can't.

  • Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

    Hi,
    I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.

    Win 7, LiveCycle Designer does not display properly

    Thanks vNohria.
    I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue  and couldn't find any.
    P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.

  • Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

    We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
    Any ideas, anyone?!?

    Hi,
    Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
    Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
    Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
    Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
    Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

  • Security issues with connecting pdf to database

    I have a pdf form that is being called from a webform as part
    of a web application. The PDF has two dropdown lists that I was
    populating from a SQL Server Database. I had created a special user
    that had select access only to the tables for the dropdowns.
    My question is are there any known security issues with
    regard to allowing a pdf to connect to a database this way. The PDF
    is being called from a secure connection but I don't know if
    opening this database connection to populate these dropdowns
    exposes a security hole of any sort. If it does, do you have a
    solution to make this secure? I am asking because another developer
    on the project brought up the issue of this design creating a
    security risk and I haven't been able to find anything online
    discussing it either way.
    Thanks!
    Maureen

    Hello Maureen,
    Thanks for posting, but I'm not sure I see if your question
    relates to Acrobat.com
    Are you using any of the Acrobat.com Services as any part of
    your workflow?
    Thanks!

  • Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    Hi,
    Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
    There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
    Some info here:

    A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.

  • Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

    Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
    Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
    Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
    If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
    Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
    I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
    I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
    Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

  • Uploading pdf files created with LiveCycle Designer ES4

    I uploaded some pdf files to my server that were designed with LiveCycle Designer ES4.  I can open them directly from the server using my SmartFTP program, however when I
    try to download using the URL, I get the following message:
    Please wait. . .
    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contenst of teh document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows . . . .
    I have both the latest version of Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro XI installed on the computer.
    Any thoughts??

  • IPad PDF with LiVeCycle Designer

    Will I ever be able to open a PDF on my iPad that was created with LiveCycle Designer?

    XFA (LiveCycle) support is a feature that is requested frequently.  As such, it is something we are looking to provide some level of support for in a future release.  If the Mobile Reader were to support Static XFA form fill-in, would this meet your needs?  Or do you require additional features above and beyond this capability?

  • Severe Security Issue with Sharing Permissions and Windows

    I recently discovered a severe Security issue with the windows sharing an permission settings:
    I have two users, an admin user and a parental controlled user. On my mac mini, i have a external harddrive connected. On the harddrive, i have three folders, Itunes, Iphoto (Package) and a Temp Folder. I want to share the Harddrive RW for the admin, but only R for the parental user. But the Temp folder should be accessible for RW for the parental as well.
    1. I set the Drive checkbox "ignore ownership" off.
    2. I set the permissions of the drive to admin RW, parental R and Everyone to "no access"
    3. I apply to enclosed Items
    4. I set the permission of the Temp folder to admin RW, parental RW and Everyone to "no access"
    5. I apply to enclosed Items
    6. I go to "File Sharing" in the Preferences and activate SMB sharing for both users
    7. I delete all previous shares
    8. I add the Disk and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental R, Everyone "no access"
    9. I add the Temp folder and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental RW, Everyone "no access" - Funny, there is a new Group called "Temp" created which has custom access on both sharepoints
    10. I connect to the mac over a Windows machine (NTLM auth set appropriatly). Now I try to create a folder on the root of the Disk share, I get a denied message.
    BUT WHEN I GO INTO A SUBFOLDER (eg. ITUNES or IPHOTO), WHICH HAS ALSO JUST "R" PERMISSION FOR THE PARENTAL USER, I AM ABLE TO RW, DELETE AND DO EVERYTHING!!!
    TO RECAPITULATE: THE SHARING PERMISSIONS ARE "R", AND THE FILE PERMISSIONS IN THE RESPECTIVE FOLDERS FOR THE RESPECTIVE USER ARE ALSO JUST "R". BUT THE USER CAN DO EVERYTHING IN THE SUBFOLDERS!!!

    Your question is not quite clear, and no Mac can iOS, but anything and everything made by or for Microsoft carries a security risk.

    Anyone know what the real deal is with OS X Lion security.  I've heard lots of things about how the recent Blackhat conference in Las Vegas said that Apple's security was not as good as Windows 7's.  Anyone know anything about this?  Thanks in advance for any feedback or input.

I don't understand why it would cause security risks when it is supposed to be a patch to fix them?!  Is it safe to go ahead and open/install?

  • Security Issues with 8.1 Pro

    I have had several security issues with Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I am curious if the following apps should be loaded by default:
    CheckPoint.VPN
    JuniperNetworks.JunosPulseVpn
    SonicWALL.MobileConnect
    F.vpn.client
    These programs are installed on a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro but I do not think they should be.  They are present prior to the install of any 3rd party programs or apps.
    Thanks

    I found them in my firewall list on my Windows 8.1 Pro installation and posted a question on a forum as well, though I don't think it was here.  I don't believe anyone ever answered.
    It looks as though these are parts of the bundled virtual private networking clients.
    Note, for example, the "distributed by Microsoft as part of Windows 8.1" wording on this page:

  • Privacy/Security Issue with Adobe Flash 10

    Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, but there is a
    bizarre (if minor) privacy/security issue with Adobe Flash Player
    10. I came across it while attempting to upload a file to Flickr.
    Previous versions of AFP do not exhibit this problem.
    Specifics: using Firefox 3.x, Vista.
    The problem: When Flickr calls the "open file" dialogue in
    Flash 10 (in order to upload files) via the "Upload Photos and
    Videos" link, at the bottom of the dialogue, to the right of the
    "File Name" box, sits a common UI element that brings up a dropdown
    menu of what appear to be (or at least are supposed to be) recently
    viewed or downloaded or accessed files. Actually I'm not sure how
    Flash 10 compiles or accesses this list of files, but at any rate,
    a list of files come up.
    The problem is that, as far as I can tell, the list of files
    that come up reference a long list of files, some that are very old
    and that no longer exist, and that there is no way that I can find
    to clear the list. This is a minor security/privacy issue, as
    generally there should be a way to prevent a dialogue from
    displaying a long list of past-accessed files by clearing a cache
    somewhere or other -- imagine if it was impossible to clear the
    history of a web browser, for example -- this would be considered a
    pretty significant privacy issue. I have tried everything from
    flushing the browser cache to uninstalling and reinstalling the
    browser to uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash to using the
    Flash Settings Manager to clear out the Flash saved sites to
    turning off Vista indexing to clearing out Vista's Recent Items
    list. None of these actions did anything to clear out this list of
    files. I can find no references to these files anywhere when I use
    Vista Search (with unindexed and system files searched as well),
    and I can find no reference to the files anywhere in the registry
    (I checked just in case Flash 10 was storing this index in some
    really bizarre place.) I've linked to a screenshot below of what
    I'm talking about -- most of the files listed below were deleted a
    long, long time ago, and so I have no idea why this dialogue refers
    to them.
    Screenshot
    Is there a simple work-around for this that I'm unaware of?
    Even if there is, there needs to be some more obvious way to clear
    out this list. Where is this information being stored, and what
    criteria does this list use to "put a file on the list"?

    Thanks for putting me on the right scent. That's what I'd
    originally thought, too -- it's just that the file-> open dialog
    was giving an entirely different list of files with other
    applications, so I assumed that it must be Flash that was the
    culprit. Turns out the reason it was different with Flickr was
    because it was restricting the file results via a long string of
    video and picture filetypes that are compatible with the Flickr
    service.
    It turns out the information I'm looking for is buried deep
    within the registry. The only way to clear out this list of files
    is to delete the following key (or specific subkeys):
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU
    Seems more than a little stupid to store such information in
    the registry if security is your concern. Vista beguiles me
    sometimes.
