I work at a printing company and have set up a business card template for a customer to fill in the appropriate information on their card and send back to us as a PDF. I also need to made it secure and extended rights to reader. However, when they send it back to us we need to remove all the security/readers rights inorder to flatten the file and remove a layer, etc. I would like to automate some of the steps, but before I can do this. I need to do a Save A Copy to remove the extended rights. I'm assuming this can be done with a Javascript --but, I am not javascript savvy. Can someone help me with the correct way to approach this?
I am working on a mac and am using Acrobat Pro 9. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.1.1, Macintosh

Just use the saveAs function, but provide it a different name than the original doc name.

This does not remove the extended rights to Reader. The only way I can get the Reader rights removed is to physically select "Save a Copy." I'm thinking this is one of those security rights that can't be used with a Javascript.
