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 (
I'm using the following button created in livecycle:
form1.Submit::click - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.host.exportData("",0);
In Acrobat Pro, I get a prompt to save the file as .xml (desired behavior)
I have enabled the form with "extend features in adobe reader" using Pro and have the 'save as' menu item available in Reader, so I know that is working.
However, when the export button is clicked in Reader, it flickers and does nothing.
I have been trying to figure out just what RE does but my small brain doesn't seem up to it. Here is my situation:
I have no server. I have a form created using LS that is distributed to 50 end-users using Acrobat Reader. These users will fill in the form, save it, possibly print it, and email the filled-inform.
The form requires a sort of database containing multiple names and addresses. The names are used to populate a drop-down list contained in a repeatable subform. Each time a new instance of the subform is created, the dropdown is populated with the list of names for selection. Selection of a name causes the address information to be automatically populated into the subform.
My solution so far is to have another repeatable subform (1 to n instances) containing the name/address information. The administrator enters the name/adress information (1 per subform instance), then saves the form, then emails it to the end users. Each time the name/address info changes, a new version of the form is distributed - the end user never updates this info.
It would be handy to maintain the name/address info in a spreadsheet instead. This would allow easier maintenance of the data (copying, sorting, etc). My understanding is I can't use a data connection to the excel spreadsheet because of rights management on strictly local forms. Is this understanding correct?
I want to distribute the form and an excel spreadsheet in order to be able to update the form and the data independently.
It seems like RE may answer this problem? Is this correct?
I purchased LiveCycle Designer ES4 on February 5, 2018. I am finding the PDF file generated from LC cannot be used well by my target audience using Adobe Reader. The users cannot save a electronic copy of the file. It would appear the solution offered by Adobe would be to obtain license for Reader Extensions, however, I am unable to find a means to accomplish that seemingly simple task.
I need help in obtaining Reader Extensions for Adobe LiveCycle ES4.
I am trying to use reader extensions in ES2 (and basically that is all I need it for) .
I read in 'Configuring Authorization for LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES' in Tour de Livecycle that I need to create a role to assign to a user and that role must have ReaderExtensions Invoke permissions among others. Makes sense. But when I go to add it I can't find the ReaderExtensions Invoke permission. What could the problem be?
Note that I have PERM_READER_EXTENSIONS_WEB_APPLICATION , for example.
And I have a local credential for Reader Extensions installed.
What APIs are available to post data using an HTTP request to the reader extensions server and then have a response back of the PDF that is extended? Is there any documentation?
I downloaded the Reader Extensions trial pfx from the site and tried to use it.It is showing Failure when itry to reader extend a form.Throwing some exception when i try from server as well.
Pls let me know what is the problem?anyone tried using this?
It seems, that ReaderExtensionsService works by default in the non-full-save mode.
Is it somehow possible to configure service operation Apply Usage Rights that it would work the same way as works flash application when Full save is selected ?
My organization has a need to allow the general public to download and save fillable various PDF's from our existing public facing website. Obviously the general public most likely has Adobe Reader and can't save without us unlocking the form. Since it will likely be over 500 users, Adobe Professional buys me nothing. I don't have the need to collect the data entered in the forms electronically or have then submitted on-line or need digital signatures. What is the abse minimum infrastructure I would need to allow multiple users in the organization to create forms that are savable in Reader by the end user and post those forms on our existing website?
I'm getting this error frequently when running on the clutsered instances and have to restart the LC server to make it woring again (even with super admin role granted). any idea? also, what's the minimum rights required for Reader Ext. web apps to read templates from its repository? the version is LC ES update1.

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!
I'm trying to enable commenting on form and it's not working. When I enable the rights, it shows that commenting has been enabled but when a user with Reader opens the form, commenting is disallowed. Does anyone have any insight as to why this would be happening? It's worked in the past and I'm at a loss to explain why it's no longer working.
I just installed the "LiveCycle ES" Trial VMWare-image for ESX-Server (which uses JBoss) and tried to call the ReaderExtensionsServiceClient webservice using the java sample and always get this exception:
...
Caused by: com.adobe.idp.DocumentError: 405: HTTP method PUT is not supported by this URL
...
I sticked to the adobe webservice client sample as shown in the source below. The sniplet does not show the real IP address.
The services are all activated in the Trial VMWare-image. I did not import ReaderExtensions credentials, as I was unable to find the view for this in the AdminUI, but the Trial VMWare-image should have some ReaderExtensions credentials preinstalled.
Any hints welcome what to change to get this working.
I have installed Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extension Server into my machine. But i don't know how to use this to make a pdf reader extended. Please Help me in this regard.
I have created several forms in LiveCycle Designer ES4. When I send the forms as dynamic PDFs to others to use they are unable to use the documents. The receive an error when they attempt to open the items stating that they must install the Traditional Chinese Language Support Package. There is no Chinese in the forms. They are entirely in English. How can I fix this issue so that my users can view my forms??

We bought the LiveCycle licensed version 8.2 installed in Linux machine.
LiveCycle PDF Generator ES and LiveCycle Reader Extension ES alone.
The person who installed was resigned from service, so this task has came to me.
I have just two question to all of them:
1. Configure the LiveCycle Reader Extension ES.
2. Create Watch folder concents for comment enabling purpose.
I have created an watch folder using the Services-->Applications and services-->Archive Management-->Samples - Reader Extensions - ReviewAndCommenting 1.0--> Configure.
The the configuring ReviewAndCommenting, "Security" tab "INVOKE_PERM" --> "allows Invocation of all operations on the Service", was checked.
Setting-->Trust Store Management-->Local Credentials-->update Credentials-->Reader Extensions Credential
Setting-->Trust Store Management-->Certificates-->update Ccertificate-->Trust for Certify Signature Trust for Certificate Authentication Trust for Signature Trust for SSL connections Trust for OCSP Server Trust for Identity
Watch folders directory were properly created, when I place a pdf "INPUT" folder its immediately go to failure and .log file was generated.
