I had created a form use javascript soap function to get data from a webservice server to populate the form. It's successful in professional, but Reader said "NotAllowedError", I know that Reader has built-in function of SOAP(since the javascript debugger of Reader shows text "Acrobat SOAP 8.0"), not activated? how can I activated it? I did try to enabled usage right in Acrobat 8 and put it to reader, but not successful too. Is it the setting problem or additional usage right is needed?

My Product Information:
Reader 8, Windows

SOAP requires additional Reader Usage Rights that are not availible in Acrobat 8 Pro. Maybe in the future.

If Acrobat 8 can't do it then what software can we use to enable it?

For SOAP to work in Reader the PDF requires additional usage rights. Rights that cannot be applied with Acrobat 8 Pro, which only does commenting, signing, and save rights. You would need the LiveCycle Rights Server to apply SOAP Rights.
