I'm new at this so here goes...

I am unable to create layers using Acrobat 7 Pro. I tried using a Java Script as suggested here but got this result:

this.addWatermarkFromText("Draft Copy");

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Global.addWatermarkFromText:1:Console undefined:Exec

undefined

I recreated the supplied pdf with the same results.

Here are the doc's security properties:

Printing: Allowed
Changing the Document: Not Allowed
Document Assembly: Not Allowed
Content Copying or Extraction: Allowed
Content Extraction for Accessibility: Allowed
Commenting: Allowed
Filling of form fields: Allowed
Signing: Allowed
Creation of Template Pages: Not Allowed

My ultimate goal is to create 'Sign' and 'Submit/Email' buttons or have a Sign button make the Submit/Email button visible.

Thanks in advance.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.9, Windows

If the form was created with LiveCycle Designer, you will need to make the modifications with that product.

If you did not make the form with LiveCycle Designer, then the creator of the form applied security restrictions you will need to disable the security before making any changes.

Hi. The original version was created in 2005 by somebody else. I don't know if they used LiveCycle Designer. I recreated the form myself in AA Pro and got the same results as with the original version. I've also tried using Adobe Designer with no luck. My final goal is to have a button disappear on 'click to sign' and have another button appear to 'submit.' I've been scouring the forums and help files and nothing seems to work using XML. I've been working on this for over two days. Any help is greatly appreciated!
