Hi everyone,
i've got a question:
i make a form data in a PDF and then save it with the extended reader rights, but unfortunately when I attach this PDF file to an another PDF and then open them in Adobe Reader I cannot save the file attachment with the form data… i try several "saving options" with no result!
Someone can help me or tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help
sorry for my english ;)

Salut Merlin ;)
first thank you for your answer, i take a look this weekend and if I understand, this cannot be done in Acrobat… but instead of opening the attachment by a link or a button in Acrobat, do you think that we could simply extract the PDF file attachment by running a JavaScript - this could help us to "keep" the extended reader rights of the attachment -?
Thanks
Jerome

Hi,
finally i found a solution to save the PDF attachment and then open it (so the extended reader rights become "active") i just need to put this javasscript in a button (or a link, i've not try this yet):
this.exportDataObject({ cName: "mypdf.pdf", nLaunch: 1 });
Some explication:
nLaunch (optional, Acrobat 6.0) nLaunch controls whether the file is launched, or opened,
after it is saved. Launching may involve opening an external application if the file is
not a PDF file. The values of nLaunch are:
● If the value is 0, the file will not be launched after it is saved.
● If the value is 1, the file will be saved and then launched. Launching will prompt
the user with a security alert warning if the file is not a PDF file. The user will be
prompted for a save path.
● If the value is 2, the file will be saved and then launched. Launching will prompt
the user with a security alert warning if the file is not a PDF file. A temporary path
is used, and the user will not be prompted for a save path. The temporary file
that is created will be deleted by Acrobat upon application shutdown.
The default value is 0.
Have a nice day,
Jerome

It doesn't matter if you extract the attachment to your hard drive using a script or using the UI tools, you can't save it back as an attachment in Adobe Reader without the additional rights from LiveCycle (ADEP).

In fact, my PDF (the gray button) work in Adobe Reader X 10.1.1 on Macintosh (I could extract the PDF and then open it and all forms could be writable), but when I make the same things on Windows (same Adobe Reader X 10.1.1) Adobe Reader tell me that the doc has been modified since his creation and I couldn't complete all forms.
You can take a look at the PDF here:
http://www.jerome.lineatureftp.fr/acrobat/
In fact, I just want a solution that help me to link a PDF with form into another PDF (this one contains no form)? I think this morning I've found a workaround, but finally this working only on Mac, why?
If you can help me,
Thanks

In fact, it seems that there's a "bug" somewhere, because when I open the same PDF on Mac or on PC, on Mac Adobe Reader tell me in File->Properties->Security that I can - for example - complete form fields but on the Windows' version he tells me that's is not possible!
I'm looking what's going wrong!

Salut Jérôme,

The most reliable way to achieve this is using a PDF-Portfolio.

finally the problem occurs only on my WinXP (under VirtualBox), because on all other PC the PDF work and I can use the form field and save it.
I take a look to the PDF-Portfolio, but it's seems that the customer need to choose which PDF he want to open, in my case i need to have the "order form" link to a product which appears on a "pdf catalog"…
the other solution could be to have all orders forms at the end of the PDF and using a Javascript link to a button to export to a single-page PDF the order form corresponding to this specific product (in this case i've got only one PDF with extended reader right).
I will make some tests
