Sign tools disabled after applying extended features to document.

I have a form that I need to be able to save date typed into the fillable fields and I also need to sign this document. I need to sign the document using the sign tools panel, so that I can apply a ink signature and use the Signed. Proceed to Send feature. This way I can save a flattend copy of the form after it has been filled in and signed. If I do not enable extended features I am able to use the Sign tools paned, but I am not able to save a copy. If I enable extended features, I can not use the Sign tools panel and can only sign from the Extended tools. The problem is this takes away the ability to use the Signed. Proceed to Send feature. When I click on the Sign tool button I get a warning telling me "The security setting on this document prevents adding and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader."
I don't need to use the digital signature feature, I need to be able to have three people apply a ink signature to a form, and then be able to flatten the form.

I use the forms to document training for 8 people on a weekly basis. Which is why I need to be able to save a copy of the form. The document then needs to be signed by the student, the supervisor, and myself. From there the document gets efiled, but it needs to be stored in a flattened state. So the Save a copy after the "Signed. Proceed to Send" allows me to save a flattened copy. On the computer I use to have the form signed I do not have Acobrat Pro installed so I do not have the option of flattening the document by choosing the save to pdf from the print screen.

Dynamically adding to PDF after applying Extended Reader Rights

All,
I've created a PDF with a digital signature in Acrobat X Pro and applied the extended Reader rights. What I am trying (and failing) to do now is add new pages to the PDF via a Java library (BFO) on a server. When a user eventually brings up the PDF in Reader, they receive a warning about how the extended rights have been revoked since the PDF has been modified. Is there any way to maintain the rights while building the PDFs? Or is the only way to dynamically build a PDF with a digital signature that can be user-signed in Reader through the LiveCycle/ADEP services?

You have to prepare the PDF BEFORE you add the extended Rights. Once it's been rights enabled, you can't modify it w/o breaking the rights.

Word macros are disabled after converting to a PDF document.

We work with Word templates that contain macros.
After you convert a Word document into a PDF document, the macros of the attached template are disabled.
The conversion takes place via the Adobe Acrobat icons.
Used Products:
- Windows7
- With Office 2007 SP2
- Adobe Acrobat 9.3.3 Pro
The described problem only occurs in Word. Outlook, Excel and Power Point are not affected.
Thank you for your time and help

Hi Buster,
The error message you were receiving occurs when you try to convert a dynamic PDF file created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This file is usually already a fillable form. Unfortunately there is no workaround available for converting documents like this within the ExportPDF service.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.

Edit Page options in ribbon disabled after applying modified Seattle Master Page

Hi,
I'm working on a modified version of the Seattle.master page, and I have an odd permissions issue that is seen when my user (a farm admin) tries to edit a page on the site. On some pages, clicking Edit Page doesn't do anything at all. On others, I've been
able to go into edit mode but not do anything with the Edit options afterward. In this scenario, most or all of the useful edit options are disabled, and I cannot use Save, Checkout, Discard the Checkout, Change the Page Layout, etc...
Checking the JavaScript console in IE reveals this JS error that I don't see in the OOTB Seattle:
SCRIPT5007: Unable to set value of the property 'href': object is null or undefined
[our.site.com], line 1128 character 590
Here's the function being referenced:
function _cUpdconetidProjectPropertyTitleGraphic(data, ctrl){ ctrl.href = slNavUrl; }
Other possibly helpful information:
Here is a snippet from the modified Seattle Master Page of where the ribbon code sits:
<div id="s4-workspace" class="ms-core-overlay">
<div id="s4-bodyContainer">
<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" AuthenticationRestrictions="AnonymousUsersOnly">
<wssucw:Welcome runat="server" EnableViewState="false" />
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
<div id="ms-designer-ribbon">
<PublishingRibbon:PublishingRibbon runat="server"/>
</div>
As you can see, I have moved the Ribbon (div#ms-designer-ribbon) from its fixed position outside of the div#s4-workspace to inside of the div#s4-bodyContainer so that it scrolls with the page. Placing the ribbon inside div#s4-bodyContainer shouldn't be an issue,
as I've made a Design Manager Master Page in the past and placed the ribbon there as well without issue.
Does anyone know how I can get this modified Seattle master page to allow editing?

Hi,
Is there any custom JavaScript in it, sometimes error may occur due to some typo.
Suppose that we can do the customization like this: With a copied master page, we can apply a part of the change first, then check it in the browser to make sure it can work without affecting the OOTB features. Then apply other parts one by one with immediate
examinations...
By doing this, it would be easier to find out which step in your whole customization would cause the issue.

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.

Extend Features in Adobe Reader

Hello,
I'm working on a form that has several dropdown lists fields wrapped individually into hidden subforms which become available (visible) once their assigned check boxes are selected. After testing the form, all works just fine. However, the issue I'm running into is actually coming up only after I Extend Features in Adobe Reader. The issue has to do with the dropdown items, in which I'm using a for loop to display my list of items very much in the same way as the "Purchase Order" form that comes with Adobe LiveCycle. The problem is that before extending the features in Adobe Reader, the dropdown list shows all my items populated in my for loop just as planned, however, once I extend the feature in Reader, all the list items appear twice i.e. item1, item2, item3, then, item1, item2, item3 again as if it "shadows" all the items.
When I noticed the issued in my form, I thought I had done something wrong, but after double checking I confirmed that the issued only occurred on the extended file and not on the original file. So, I decided to test it on the "Purchase Order" form by "Extending Features in Adobe Reader" and and the same thing occurred to the "Part No." items. You can check it out for yourselves!!
I'd appreciate any help you can give me to solve this issue.
Thank you!!

Niall,
I actually have my script in the "change" event, and it reads "FruitsScript.getFood(xfa.event.newText, LabelSheets".
I moved it to the "preOpen" event and not only the event keeps firing twice, but I also don't get the second array to display anymore. (LabelSheets).
This is sort of what I have in my actual form. It is a table that expanded in which header 1 would be my items, and header 2 would display the value assigned in the second array.
Header 1
Header 2
Dropdown List (keeps Firing Twice)
"LabelSheets" (does not display value)
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!!!!!!

'Extend Features in Adobe Reader' causes additional rows to appear in pdf

Afternoon,
I have a table set up where i have add/delete rows at 3 points within the table, as i have 3 headings within the table. This was created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2...I want the form to flow onto the next page which works fine, it is saved as Dynamic XML form.
Now I require the form to be filled out by users using Adobe Reader 9, and to do this i open the form in Adobe Acrobat 9 and then save a copy after selecting 'Extend Features in Adobe Reader'...However when i now go and open this file, rows that were not initially in the form appear below the final add/delete row buttons...as if someone has press add row 10 times.
Any ideas what is causing the form to change?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jason

I had quite the same case. After extending document for Acrobat Reader there were tables with doubled headers and also
multiple rows - yes, exactly three ones
I solved the problem by setting occurence for each object in Object menu -> Binding -> Repeat .... for Each Data Item.

Reader Extend Feature for sign document

If you like to sign the PDF document in Reader, please apply Reader Extend feature from Acrobat product first and save the file, and then you can sign the document in Reader.
Some user will sign the document first and apply Reader Extend feature later, this workflow will break the sign workflow.
Thanks for Acrobat product customers to use the product and give us this useful feedback.

Something happened to the file after the time that it was Reader-enabled. It was modified in a way that invalidates the digital signature that controls whether the usage rights are valid. I seem to recall the GoLive can be configured to modify (optimize somehow?) PDFs when it uploads them, and you definately don't want this to happen for Reader-enabled documents. I don't have GoLive, so I can't check what setting it is, but you should be able to look for yourself. A workaround would be to upload via some other means, such as FTP. I'd be interested to know if this makes a difference.

Extended Features to Sign Documents from LiveCycle in Reader XI

I used LiveCycle to create the form, save it as Static then open in Adobe Acrobat XI to save as - extended features for adobe reader.
The 'Sign' toolbar is all gray. I have tried with the LiveCycle field as a signature and also as just text fields and nothing seems to give me the ability to apply a signature.
Any help to get the Sign features available would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Kendra

I don't have anything that says Sign, to select...please see images of my Reader. The only thing that I can see that is in reference to "Sign" is when it is referring to the pane on the left side of Reader to show all the signature fields in the form. I use to have a Pane on the Right side for in-person signing with a mouse and EchoSign integration.
Thanks so much for helping.

Extended features getting disabled

We have two computers in our organization that do not want to send forms to each other!
We created a form - one user (user A) tried to send a filled out form to another particular user so that he can sign off on it (using a signature field), but this particular user (user B)cannot modified the form at all!
User B gets this message:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended feautres is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
However, user A can send the same form to anyone else, and they can open it and use the form just fine - no message.
It gets even better - User B can open other PDFs/forms from other people and use them just fine as well.
Not to mention - if user A sends the form to someone else (user C) first, then user C forwards the form to user B WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES - it works fine; we don't get that message.
If you can follow all of that and have any idea what may be causing this issue, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it! Both users have Adobe Reader 9, and the form was created in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. All on Windows XP. The person sending the email is using Outlook, the person receiving the form is using a web based email (but saving the document to the computer first does not help).
Thanks for the help!

I'd like to piggy-back on this thread. I am also having this issue and closing and reopening the document until the error message goes away is not a solution.
I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 for MAC and enabling extensions for Reader. The Reader version our company uses is Reader 9.1.3 for PC.
As in the original post, it's a single user that continues to have these issues. All the other people that touch these files have little/no problems with this. Tech Support has tried reinstalling Reader and it seemed to work for a few days and now the issue is back. Anyone have a clue on this?
Here's a screenshot of the error, which is also stated in the original post.

Extending Features in Adobe Reader disabled

I am wondering if someone can help me with this issue. I'm currently using Acrobat 9 Pro on a MAC. I saved the pdf document with "Extend Features in Adobe Reader." Editorial (uses PC) open the document using Acrobat Standard and added all the comments needed. I open the document and I can add my comments as well. However, when a freelancer who has Adobe Reader only open the document, she got a message saying "use of extended features is no longer available." Why this is happening? Is this a versioning issue, hardware related or what? Any help would be really appreciated.

To be able to add attachments you need to Reader Extend the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server. Acrobat does not have that bit in it to allow attachments (it does allow Digital Signing).

Why unable to sign PDF with certificate after applying Nitro PDF password protection? (despite it explicitly allowing signing with certificates)

I used Adobe Reader XI to sign PDFs with certificate, which worked perfectly. Except that the PDF could still be edited by other programs (for example, Nitro PDF) after the signing (but not the fill out fields and the signature). To apply password protection makes sense to avoid changes in the PDF being made after it has been signed. So I applied password protection via Nitro PDF that allows only enter fill-out fields and signing. But when I open it with Adobe Reader, the filling out works fine, but the signing part is not available to click on it (all of the buttons under "Sign" tab are grey). When I go on the Security properties with Adobe Reader, I can explicitly see that signing of this PDF is allowed and yet the option is not open to use for me anymore.
Any ideas on why it is the case and what I could do about that?
Many thanks!
O.

Actually yes, I just asked my colleague to assist me with this, he password-protected the PDF with Acrobat 8, explicitly allowing for signing and fill-out functions, it also appears in Adobe Reader under security properties as "allowed", but it is not open to use in the Reader for me anymore (grey buttons).

Error Disable on port after applying .1X config

Hi Guys,
I'm installing ISE 1.2 on the network and when testing with few machines, some of them reported "errdisable" status on the port after applying the .1X configuration. The config for the port I have is:
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 100
ip access-group Default-ACL in
authentication event fail action next-method
authentication event server alive action reinitialize
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication order mab dot1x webauth

mab
snmp trap mac-notification change added
snmp trap mac-notification change removed
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 2
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
When I remove the .1X config on the port it comes up fine. Shutting and un-shutting the port couldn't recover it. I don't have any port security configured.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mohammad

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.

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.
