Using Reader Extension

I have downloaded the Reader extension(I think). How do you get it to work. Specifically to embed new user rights in documents.??

If you installed reader extensions, you should see that in your web browser as a favorite. I loaded it on my own computer, and it has to have a webserver. I use Windows XP professional and it works.
The first time you access the "website" you have to set a password. I think the help file with it shows a default password.
If you load it on your local machine, it will show a LOCALHOST as the address, with a weird port.
If ya get there, you should be able to set user rights.
The instructions are awful. I had it a week before I found where it was installed.

Yes LiveCycle does support REST as an endpoint http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/help/index.htm?content=000562.html

How to use Reader Extensions - or do I need Livecycle?

I'll start with saying that I am totally new to Livecycle. I've downloaded a demo of Designer to see if it helps with some of the processes I am currently doing in Acrobat.
The only tool I really NEED from Livecycle is the ability to have the end user attach a file in Reader. This would be managers attaching supporting documents for employee evaluations.
I've found that this can be done with Read Extensions but I have no idea how to enable my form to use these or how to even start.
Where can I get a tutorial for this process OR is this more than I need to be doing JUST to have attachments enabled in Reader.
Thanks!

Reader users can attach files as comments, either to an AcroForm or a static XFA form. The type of attachments you're asking about can only be enabled in Reader with LiveCycle Reader Extensions, which is entirely different than LiveCycle Designer and costs quite a bit more. The only other place you can get it is through DataLogics with their Adobe PDF Java Toolkit: http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdfjt/
See if attaching files as comments is sufficient though. An alternative would be for the managers to use Acrobat. Standard is sufficient.

Want to use Reader Extensions for highlighting and adding comments

Hi,
The basic use for which we plan to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is for highlighting and adding comments.
In a J2EE application, we create PDF document at runtime using (PDFBox). The purpose to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is when the end user sees the PDF created he/she should be able to add highlights and add comments to the PDF document and save it back to server.
The question is what all I need to do. Just install Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions on the server. What should be done specifically when the PDF is created using PDFBox? Add any information to the PDF so that when PDF is viewed by the user he/she can add comments or highlight.
Can I get sample application and I also need Developer Guide. I think Developer guide comes with the setup? Did not find any place where I can down load a demo setup of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
Can you please guide me in the right direction? I am collecting more information as I search the internet and go through the forum, but it will be very helpful if someone can give correct information.
Thank You.
Regards,
Jay Chandran.

Hi,
I was reading Adobe Reader SDK document (Acrobat_SDK_overview.pdf), in that it is mentioned under
About rights-enabled documents:
You cannot programmatically rights-enable a PDF file.
Well I am confused, because my requirement is like this:
1. PDF is created using (PDFBox) as part in a J2EE application.
2. After the PDF has been created, from the J2EE application, the PDF will be send to LiveCycle Extensions to right enable it. (There is no user interface, and it is planned to be done programatically using Adobe libraries. The PDF will be send to LiveCycle Server and Right Enabled PDF will be returned.)
So if there is no way to "programmatically rights-enable a PDF file", how can it be done without having an web interface?
Just to confirm, PDF can be prgramatically right-enabled using LiveCycle libraries right? I have to right enable PDF files prgramatically and not using LiveCycle web interface.
Thank You.

Jay Chandran.

Questions regarding Adobe Reader Extensions for Adobe Livecycle.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Adobe products, having just started to use Adobe Livecycle over the last couple of weeks. I've produced a set of interactive forms for field engineers to use. When completed, they will submit the xml data via email. However, there will be numerous occasions where they will need to stop in the middle of data collection and come back at a later point to finish, hence the need to locally save the information before submission.
I understand this is where Adobe reader extensions would come in, unlocking this functionality.
At the moment, i'm a bit of a loss on several points regarding how reader extensions work and i was wondering if anybody could fill in the gaps:
1. Are they seperate modules that bolt in into the main Livecycle application?
2. As these forms will be used off line, i would like to set the permissions to the pdf locally. From what i read, Reader Extensions is a server product. Is this correct, or can i use Reader Extensions to set these permissions before publishing the adobe form?
3. Where can i get hold of Reader Extensions and how much do they cost? I have been reading information on similar topics on this forum (dating 3-4 years ago) that say reader extensions are comparitavely expensive to a Adobe Pro/Livecycle licence. ($50,000 upwards) Is this correct? If so, is there a cheaper alternative to achieve the same outcome?
I hope someone can shed some light on these points!
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Reader Extensions can be bought as a module in LiveCycle. There is a subset of RE functionality that exists in Acrobat. The ability to save locally is part of Acrobat. In both cases you woudl RE the form before distributing it, hence when the user gets your form they are ready to go. You can download a trial version of the server product. As far as pricing goes you woudl be better to talk to an Adobe salesrep as there are discounts for certain situations as well as different pricing options. If you decide tp gp the Acrobat route you ar limited, by licence, to distribute your form to a max of 500 users.
Hope that helps

Reader Extensions

Can I use reader extensions with LiveCycle Designer ES or do I have to upgrade to ES4? I am running version 8.2.1.

You do not need to upgrade to LiveCycle ES4. You can use LiveCycle Designer ES to create a form, save it as PDF. Thereafter, apply Reader Extension rights through LiveCycle server. I am assuming that you have Livecycle ES Reader Extensions.

Reader Extensions ES WebApp

Hi all,
I have a problem when I try to reader extend a form using Reader Extensions webapp (http://[host]:[port]/ReaderExtensions).
I can upload the form, select the rights and then when I click "Apply", the progress / waiting bar "Download" keep running and nothing happens.
Did anyone ever encoutered this issue ?
Is there a solution ?
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Steve,
First of all, thanks for your response
This problem seems to occur with all pdf files that I try to upload (tested 5 of them so far). There is absolutely nothing in the server log ...
I tested connecting to RE from my computer and directly from the server, both have the same problem.
I'm using ReaderExtensions V8.0 by the way.

Reader extensions render failed. What would be problem?

Dear All,
The form which I created using designer is working fine with acrobat, but when it opens in adobe reader all the scripts seems to be not working! Do we need to render the form with reader extensions before proceeding with adobe reader? With that assumption I tried to apply rights to the pdf from reader extensions (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions/
) but it failed to render! What would be problem? – attached the screenshots for your review and feed back
Kind Regards,
Vinod Chattergee.S

Hi Paul,
Save offline Script - on button click
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
and for sending email...
Page1.btnSendToCustomer::click - (JavaScript, client)
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Department of Environment Quality";
//app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);
RealEmail.execEvent("click");
where btnSendToCustomer is the button for sending email and RealEmail is a hidden button
This is fine with acrobat, but donno why is not working with adobe reader.
Please help me, and also guide me on how to use reader extension and what is the use of that. In the screen shot i attached in the earlier post seems that the credentials are expired, so whats the next step?..do i need to purchase a new credential? if so, from where can i buy that.
I dont have much idea about this, so please help me
Thanks and regards,

Can use adobe livecycle reader extensions es to compile adobe livecycle designer ES3 file?

Hi ,
I am using livecycle designer ES and livecycle reader extensions es to create some PDF files. I want to use the new feature action builder, so I downloaded the designer ES3. After creating some new files, I tried to use livecycle reader extensions es (old version) to convert the file to add the saving function to adobe reader. It could not convert the file successfully and stuck at downloading the file page as the attached screen. Does that mean I have to upgrade livecycle reader extensions es to es3? Thanks in advance.

There were problems like this that were caused by a flashplayer security patch. See https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/livecycle/ZRj27vcLXOI
My memory is a bit hazy on this, as it was three years ago.
There was a LiveCycle blog on this November 11, 2008
http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2008/11/livecycle_and_flash_player_10.html
Flash Player 10 broke the Reader Extensions sample application included with LiveCycle ES 8.0.1, and 8.2.1. When you use it, it will essentially hang. The workaround is to revert back to Flash Player 9 on those machines you use as LiveCycle clients.
This problem has been fixed in LC 8.2.1 SP3 as well as in ES2.
The key is to either upgrade your server or downgrade to an earlier (9) version of the flash player. (copying from the google group)
As you said, this issue is due to the changes in security in flash
player 10. The Reader Extensions webUI leverages flex. For LiveCycle
8.2.1, the file dialog automatically pops up after conversion is
complete. However, in flash player 10, there were changes to how file
reference are is handled. Since it is possible to pop up a file
dialog based on user action), and automatically poping up that file
dialog based on the old code base will no longer work. This is a
known issue in LC ES 8.2.1, and downgrading to flash player 9 works.
However, in fix pack 2 of LiveCycle ES Update 1. (8.2.1.2), this bug
on flash player 10 has been resolved with an explicit button to
download the file.

Unable To Build iOS App Using Native Extension

I’m trying to create a native extension for iOS and use that extension as part of an IPA app for iOS I create from a SWF file using the ADT tool (i.e. the normal use-case for iOS). Note: I have already successfully created the native extension and APK app for Android and now I am trying to build the iOS side.
I have been primarily using the information found at the following websites:

Any ideas? Please help.

Thanks for the reply.
yes.I've created a static library with 3rd party frameworks and pulled the .a from product folder(Debug-iphoneos).
and the framework didn't work(armv7 not supported error occurs ..don't know why) with it's original folder structure .
so I followed below link to change folders inside the 3rd party framework and figured out but now the application crashes on startup without giving an error message. .

How do I use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

every time I go to a site I have to zoom in 3 times. I saw an answer that said use an extension to fix the zoom so it would stay where I wanted it. It gave two extensions to use, but I don't know where or how to apply them.

Here are two I've tried in the past:
* Default FullZoom Level: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/]
* NoSquint: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/]
After installing an extension and restarting Firefox, you can use the extension's Options dialog to adjust the starting zoom level. If the extension doesn't have its own menu entry or toolbar button, you can usually find that Options button here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Any luck?

How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible. I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
Thanks,
Chani

Thanks everyone for responding. I should have supplied more information.
I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro. These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data. However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered. Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact. Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions. However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly? How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing? I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
Thanks for all of your responses!
Chani
