I made a form (which I saved as dynamic) and opened in Acrobat to extend its Reader rights (I suppose this is the only way to extend Reader rights, isn't it?).
After extending its Reader rights, I open it with Reader but commenting is not permitted. Why?
We generate the pdf and distribute it to the user immediately. I've a business requirement to allow the user to print the pdf a maximum of 3 times. I was able to add the javascript to the pdf to make a webservice call that would keep a track of prints(by getting the pdf blessed by the livecycle readerextensions). Now, I've two questions :
1.How can I disable printing on the pdf document when max number of reprints is reached?
2.The pdf throws security warning when it makes the webservice call. Is there anyway to supress it?
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'm running through an installation of LiveCycle ES with reader extensions. Everything looks on the up and up, but I'm getting "No credential found with alias" in my logs. I have the credential from Adobe installed in the livecycle config console with a random alias. The question is where do I use this alias in my configuration? I'm using WAS 6.1.
I've searched the forums for this error and there was mention of it because there are some user permissions issues, but I'm running WAS under my account which is an admin user.
I'm trying to unlock/remove password on a password protected and reader extended document in a long lived process. Below is the workflow description
A batch process that fires periodically to send service feedback forms to customers.
Long lived process to Gather data ---> Render Dynamic pdf ---> Password Protect (to disable printing and extracting pages) ---> Reader Extend (for saving edited pdf on client machine) ---> Send Email to customer.
Long lived process to Receive feedback via Email endpoint --> Remove/Unlock (?) password ---> Extract data from PDF ---> further operations to update data in tables.
My findings:
Remove PDF Password Encryption (Failed here) ---> Extract data

I see that the "Unlock Passwod Encrypted PDF" service works fine in Short Lived Process. I'm unable to make it work in Long Lived process. Can someone please explain this behavior? Why is the limitation to Unlock PDF Password service to work only in short lived process?
I'm trying to programmatically fill an XFA forms with XML data on a PDF document, that has been enabled for saving by Reader Extensions.
After setting the XML data and savind the document, Adobe Readr no longer allows to save the document. Moreover, if I try just to open the document with a PDF library (I've tried PDF Tron, Quick PDF, iTextSharp, PDF One) and save it immediately (without making any modifications), Adobe Reader no longer allows to save the document.
Is it possible to set the data in this document by a third party library and leave the 'save' usage right at all? Or does Adobe Reader do the same magic as Reader Extensions to leave the document extended, when it saves it?
Does Adobe provide (sell?) a dll library that allows to open and set the XML data in a PDF document?
or
Deas anyone know of a library that can do that?
I really need to have those answers because right now we have to make a decision in which way we go with our product.
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.
There is no straight answer for how to get the 'Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions' anywhere. We need to connect our database web services to our LiveCycle forms. Can someone please assist?
PS:
We have forwarded this query to the Adobe team in Sydney. But I am not expecting any reply from them for next 20-30 days.
They do not seem be interested in sales. There are some queries that we are still waiting for since last 1 and half months.
It would be great if Adobe shows some interest in building relations and provide at least some pre-sales service if not after-sales.
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 ?
I am using ES3 to generate a PDF from and XFA assembly.
It is Reader Extended, has form fill-in and Digital Signature enabled - and a Document Open password.
On occasion, when I recieve one of these documents back - instead of being able to remove the Usage Rights in my LiveCycle process, I get the error above.
Removing Usage Rights, Removing Password, Get Signature Fields all fail similarly.
Unlocking Document does not error out.
Any Idea what is 'wrong' with the document?
Acrobat X Pro has no issues opening and accessing the document
I went to follow the steps provided in the help video on Adobe. Two issues I couldn't solve:
How do you login to LiveCycle via the web as an admin? How do you get to the LiveCycle admin portal?
The local host (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions) is unavailable. Every time I try to go there I get a 500 error message page. What is the new local host?
The steps I followed were:
So according to a video on its official website, in order to enable LiveCycle forms in Reader so they can be saved you need an Adobe Reader Extension which means we need a Reader Extension Credential loaded onto the server. For that you need to purchase a Reader extension license from Adobe.
However, there is a trial version Eric or Jay could instal for me on the Remote Desktop. They can find it at:
They will want to download the “Trial Reader Extensions Certificate” under “Downloads and updates”. It’s a 30 day trial which should work fine for our needs.
The credential then needs to be imported into the Adobe Administrator. To do that they need to:
Login to LiveCycle as an admin (via the web?)
Go to “Settings"
Go to “Trust store management”
Go to “Local credentials”
Click “Import"
Trust store type should be “Reader Extensions Credential”
Give it a name (i.e. Alias)
Browse to credential file
.pfx is the credential file
.txt is the password
Right-click the .txt
Click “Open”
Copy password from notepad
Close notepad
Open the .pfx file
Paste in password copied from .txt file under “Password” in import form
Click OK
Then there’s something about going to Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions program (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions). Don’t ask. I’m personally lost at this point.
In Extensions program they need to:
Select the Extensions credential
Click the check box next to
“Basic form fill-in”
“Import and export data”
“Submit outside of web browser”
“Database and web service connectivity”
“Digital Signatures”
“Commenting”
“Online Commenting"
Set “Draft Level” to “Final”
Click the check box next to “Full Save”
“Browse” to the SNAP Survey I created and saved on the server.
I'm currently using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES4. We use this to extend our PDF acroforms so they can be run in Reader and execute the JavaScript. As I understand it this product is reaching end of life. What is Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES4 being replaced with? I've read several posts regarding this issue but there seems to be some confusion regarding LiveCycle Reader Extensions versus LiveCycle Designer. I am not using LiveCycle Designer.
I have an issue about ARES. When I create a PDF file and use password to secure the document and “Changes Allowed” is set as “Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing existing signature fields”, the commenting doesn’t work and display the error as below:
Warning: JavaScript Window-
This document is not enabled for review in Adobe Reader. You must use Adobe Acrobat to review this document.
Other documents which is not set password security can be commented normally. Please give me some advices.
I’ve created a process to convert XDP files into dynamic PDF (RenderPDF) in LiveCycle ES2. However, when I open the resulting PDF in Reader Extensions (to extend the form manualy) I get the following error message: "This document appears to be invalid. It can not be opened for processing."

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.
