"This operation is not permitted" appears when re-saving/distributing a form.

I have a form that I created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer (ver 8.0) which I saved and distributed several months ago and has been working fine. Now even if I make no changes to the form, if I save and Distribute it again, the message “This operation is not permitted” appears when the re-distributed form is opened in Adobe Reader. If I make no changes to the form and DON'T save it but I do Distribute it, it works fine. I made sure that "auto select" was set for all of the fonts--as suggested--but it made no difference. What else might be causing the problem? The error message is not very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Ahh the problem was that the file was secured with a password. The documentation mentions:
Known Exceptions
Raises
pdErrOpNotPermitted if saving is not permitted. Saving is permitted if either edit or editNotes (see PDPerms) is allowed, or you are doing a full save and saveAs is allowed.
So I looked for that exception in the docs and it said:
pdErrOpNotPermitted
This operation is not permitted. Acrobat
security does not allow content copying
or extraction. These operations should
be permitted when the document’s
master password is used.
So for anyone getting this error, try removing security from the file first.

"This operation is not permitted" when saving PDF through a plugin

Not sure what I am doing wrong. It appears as though I've followed the PDF Reference and documentation correctly, but I am getting this error when my plugin trys to save my PDF file to a new location (dont want to overwrite the original).
Here is the sample code. I hope what I am doing wrong is easy to fix.
PDDocClose(currentPDDoc);
ASPathName filePathName = ASFileSysCreatePathName(NULL, ASAtomFromString("CString"), replacedSavePath.c_str(), 0);
PDDocSave(currentPDDoc, PDSaveIncremental | PDSaveLinearized, filePathName, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, NULL);

When Submitting - "This operation is not permitted" ERROR

Hi Guys,
I'm new to LiveCycle and have created a whole array of online PDF forms that users can fill in and submit over the internet. The form is then received at the company end as a PDF attachment. Everything is going great until the company changed from a POP3 server to an IMAP server (I think they are using Microsoft exchange server?)
Now when they go to submit the form after filling it in they get the following message.
"This operation is not permitted"
Is there any information people can give me to help with this. Obviously this is quite urgent, so any good tips that can help me I would appreciate.
Perhaps there is a way to send the PDF without it loading outlook and sending it?

It depends on what version of Acrobat you're using.

Unable to submit a Reader-enabled PDF: "This operation is not permitted"

Hi I've looked through the forums but haven't found an answer to this particular query: I've created a simple form (text boxes, radio buttons, and a submit button which should send the entire PDF to an email address). I have tried different options:
Reader enabled the form, then saved it and emailed a copy to a friend to test. When he clicked on "submit" he received the error "this operation is not permitted". Unfortunately I didn't ask what version of Reader he has. The form was created in Adobe Acrobat X.
Did not reader-enable the form, but opened it with Adobe Reader XI. When I click on submit I get a "server connection error". I'm using Gmail, Chrome and Windows 7 (I went to Start > Default Programs and was able to associate "MAILTO" with Chrome, but there is no option to actively choose Gmail as my mail client). p.s. Before submitting the form I checked and my internet connection is up and running.
I tried to submit the form from Acrobat X and I get a similar error, "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program".
There are no unembedded fonts or hidden objects in the PDF.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Submitting forms by email isn't really submitting. In my view it's a useful quick test, but not suitable for production use. For reasons you've already discovered. A particularly bad case is where a user uses GMail (or whatever) but has a WORKING email client that accepts the mail; but then it goes nowhere because they never set it up.
Submit really means "send to a web server" (where a script written by a professional will handle the data). Like the forms on every web site.
Web sites COULD "submit by email" too, but they don't because it isn't any good.
(Caveat: some big companies control the email set up exactly, and it can work for them.)

I get error "This operation is not permitted" after creating form and opening it in Reader...

Hi,
I am very frustrated with this form I have created. I created the form in Acrobat 8 but could not get it allow changes to be saved until I chose to "distribute" form. I did that and now have a form that can be caved once filled out however when you open it you get the error "This operation is not permitted".
From reading some other posts, I have done the following:
Checked security settings and they do not fix it.
Checked that all fields were form fields and they seem to be.
Checked restrictions listed in purple bar and there were none.
Checked for "unembedded" fonts and there were none.
I think using Acrobat 9 might help me but I do not want the expense as I only use Acrobat for forms like this once a year.
Does anyone know what is going on here and can maybe help?
Thanks,
Sean

I'm having the same problem. Have you already found a solution?

Hello, I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD. This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project. I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD. I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption. I have the quality set to professional with no improvement. The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn. Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"? Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show? If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie, the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB? What DVD's are recommended? Any preferred brand? Are there problems with burning with double layer? I read on this blog of numerous problems.

DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition". See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use. Using larger images won't give you better quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.

Acrobat 8 Form - "This Operation Not Permitted" error when enable user rights and open Reader X

I have a form which is causing me fits. It was created from an existing PDF form to which I added data fields using LifeCyele Designer.
When I enable user rights to the document and try to open it in either Adobe Reader X or Acrobat 8 Pro I get the message "This operation is not permitted" twice. Once I get rid of the messages the form works fine.
Is there a way to upload the form to this forum for someone to look at it?
With my limited knowledge, I did try to investigate embeded font issues and hidden object issues. But after much work I've not gotten much closer to a resolution.
Best,
David

You cannot upload the file to the forum, but you can use Acrobat.com or Dropbox if you have an account. If you ha e no other options I'd be happy to take a look: acroscript at gmail dot com

I'm replying to this old thread for anyone looking for this problem in the future ( like I did ).
The problem for me was that the original .pdf had a single blank comment in it.
I opened it in Acrobat pro, deleted the comment, saved, opened it in livecycle, changed the illustration ( or whatever you had to change in the first place ), save it again, opened it in Acrobat and save for Reader Extended PDF.
It now works
PS: nice job Adobe with useless error messages. Just saying "Comments are not allowed" instead of "This operation is not permitted" would have saved countless hours to countless people.

This Operation Could Not Be Completed

Hey guys,
I work for the Dallas Cowboys as their multimedia coordinator. I've been having this problem for some time, but after months of frustration I think it's finally time to ask for some help.
Basically, on a very inconsistant basis, an uploaded videos mobile component (mp4) file won't work on my iphone when I test it. I currently have one video doing just that. Here is the link to our mobile multimedia page.
http://www.dallascowboys.com/multimedia/mobile_multimedia_center.cfm?id=3770C765 -CA7A-8B74-A8D0D5A4DFFC1422
The mp4 will work on on a browser, but gives me the error "This operation could not be completed" when trying to view it on my iphone.
The only common issue I can see in files with this issue is that they tend to be the videos with more production value. I generally encode these files in Adobe Media Encoder, but have also tried them in compresser with no luck.
Any ideas?

Are you processing on the CPU or the GPU? What graphics card are you using? Do you have the latest graphics driver for your graphics card? How much RAM is in your machine? Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Photoshop? What size images are you processing?

On my iPod touch (5th generation) it won't let me watch any video's off any Internet sources eg Facebook twitter and YouTube. When I click on the video it just comes up saying 'this operation could not be continued'?

Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
Who can help me??
Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress)

Operation not permitted error when comparing documents

I get an "operation not permitted" error when trying to compare documents in adobe XI pro.

They are secured. I knew I couldn't edit but didn't realize compare wouldn't work. Thanks.

New problem again, This operation could not completed as there's no video

I don' t understand what is the problem, I work with FCP 6.0 and Quicktime 7.4.1 very well until today, when I tray to capture from DV devices ( note that the capture window says PREVIEW DISABLED , but I can remote the camera, mark tc in , out FFW REW etc, message VTR IS OK) The capture is aborted with this message THIS OPERATION COULD NOT COMPLETED AS THERE IS NO VIDEO, when I tray to capture from JVC PRO HD there is no problem. ANY IDEAS????? I'm not work whit another FCP version because with other version there is a problem with JVC PRO HD DEVICES . I note that I'm not the only one with this problem, another curiosity is that at this mooring I capture a tape without a problem but with the second tape start the problem when I thread the tape. Who is possible that the problems are like a miscellanies problem. In the system profile the Camera and vcr dv appears connected to the mac. The fire wire is ok.
<Edited by Moderator>

Hi of course I use the correct easy setup,Ii tray with different cameras, vcr's, vtr's, dv , Dvcam, I tray with different fire wire etc. Note that "IMOVIE" capture material without problem, same tape, this problem is affected to other people, included me , but for week i no have this problem with FCP 6.0 and Quicktime 7.4.1 this problem starting to day in the middle of the batch capture, the first tape was captured , but in the second tape start the message, WAITING FOR TIME CODE, THE DEVICE MUST SET IN VTR MODE, of course that this two things are ok, and appears then message "This operation could not completed as there's no video" Note that quicktime pro is unable to capture material from DV device too. Imovie work OK with the same camera and vtr and the same tape. The problem is quicktime and FCP.

Why: [nQSError: 59001] Left operation is not permitted on INTEGER operand

I need some help about this error. The scenarios:
1. I used the formula which as below in answer :
"SUM((CASE WHEN ALM_BKT_RES_GRP_V.FINANCIAL_ELEM_ID = 660.00 THEN ALM_BKT_RES_GRP_V.BUCKET_ALL ELSE 0 END)) / (CASE WHEN IFNULL(@{Scale},0)=0 THEN 1 ELSE @{Scale} END)"
2. And I displayed result in Table(plat table), it raised this error:Left operation is not permitted on INTEGER operand(s)
3. When I displayed result in Pivot Table, it would be OK, no error.
4. I removed SUM() in the formula, it's OK both Plat Table and Pivot Table. But the value of this formula is wrong. so I must use function SUM().
I want to know the reason...

yeah, is the another formula column used the Fuction LEFT(), I hasn't init it.
So, I edit the formula as this: @{Type}{'z'}. The error is fixed.

[nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted

Hi All,
I am querying 3 columns in a report.
E.g.
Sales -> Directly pulled from the database column
Prior Month Sales -> AGO("Sales subject area"."Key Measures"."sales", "Sales subject area".Time_Dimension."Month", 1)
Current YTD ->
(CASE WHEN "Sales subject area".Time_Dimension."Year" = VALUEOF("CURRENT_YEAR") AND "Sales subject area".Time_Dimension."Month Number" <= VALUEOF("CURRENT_MONTH") THEN "Sales subject area"."Key Measures"."Sales" ELSE 0 END )
I get the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on VARBINARY, INTEGER operand(s). (HY000)
Please let me know how to go about this.

The Data types are as follows:
1. Sales = Double
2. Month = Varchar
3. Month Num is calculated column from -> MOD("Sales Subject Area".Calendar.TimeID, 100) and time id is "Int"
The Rpd variables are:
1. Current Year = CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(MAX(YEARMONTH) AS VARCHAR),1,4) AS INTEGER)
2. Current Month = CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(MAX(YEARMONTH) AS VARCHAR),,6) AS INTEGER)
3. Prior Year = CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(MAX(YEARMONTH) AS VARCHAR),1,4)-1 AS INTEGER)
Basically we dont want to use TODATE function as it is not working properly for Prior YTD.

"This operation is not permitted" appears when re-saving/distributing a form.
