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:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle.html
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.
- Click “Apply”
In new window that appears:
- Click “Download”
- Save back to the server
