I've created an interactive form to allow users to fill in Acrobat v9. However I'm trying to allow Acrobat Reader users to attach documents. I can get this working within Acrobat v9 but it is than disabled in Reader. I thought I had enabled the correct security settings within the Extend Features to Reader, but it's still not working as I do not have the 'Add' button enabled in Reader.

There are several different Reader Rights. Acrobat can enable a PDF for Commenting, filling forms, save, and signing. It cannot enable a PDF with file attachement rights. Applying this Reader Right requires the LiveCycle Rights server.

Hi Thom

Thanks for your response, I'm assuming this means a "No" then? Are there any alternatives? I appreciate your help & advice.

There is one alternative, but it only works for Regular PDF docs, not for LiveCycle forms. There is a File Attach Annotation. Since PDFs can be enabled for commenting in Acrobat Pro, this annotation can be used on Reader with a comment enabled PDF. But comment annotations cannot be applied to a LiveCycle form.
