I have a form created with Acrobat Pro 9 that uses a trusted function in a folder level script that performs importTextData with a button click. It works fine until I Extend Features in Adobe Reader. Then it receives this error:

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.importTextData:7:Field
ImportPtDemos:Mouse Up

Is there a way to make this work after Extending Features in Reader? It doesn't work in either Reader or Pro, and it would sure be nice if it could at least work in Pro.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, Windows

The option in Acrobat 9 for "Extending Features in Adobe Reader" applies Form, Save, Comment, and Signature Reader Rights to the PDF. Once enabled, Acrobat/Reader can only make changes to the document that are within these Rights. Import/Export is a separate Right. Since it is not included in this list of rights it is no longer allowed in either Acrobat or Reader. If you want to use the import then don't Rights enable the PDF.

If you had the LiveCycle ES Rights server you could apply Import/Export rights. This is the only way.
