We have a number of forms that were created using Adobe Livecycle and when moving to Windows 10 were advised to use AEM Forms Designer, as Adobe Livecycle was no longer supported. The Adobe Livecycle forms had enabled extended features in Adobe Reader as the forms are shared on our public web site for downloading. The user completes the form (using Adobe Reader) and emails it to us.
We have now discovered that when we try to edit the original forms in AEM Forms Designer that the enabled extended features in Adobe Reader are no longer supported. Please see attached message when we import one of the forms into AEM Forms Designer.
We can edit the form using AEM Forms Designer but the option to save the PDF with enabled extended features in Adobe Reader is not available – it was previously available in Adobe Livecycle.
Can you please advise how we can create our forms are fillable and saveable in Adobe Reader?
Best regards,
Martin

Martin,
Usually, enabling usage rights for a form is done outside of the designer (Either in LiveCycle Designer or AEM Forms Designer). You need to have the Reader Extensions certificate to do this. The below link will help you get more information on this.
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Thanks for your response.
We were able to enable extend extended features in Livecycle without using a server or certificate and expected we would do the same in a stand alone version of AEM Forms Designer.
We only have AEM Forms Designer and do not have a server set up. Does setting up a server require an additional licence?
Best regards,

In my environment, LiveCycle and AEM Forms were not configured to save in a reader-extended format so I use a 2-step process to Reader-Extend my forms:
1. In LiveCycle or AEM Forms, I save the form as generated by the program.
2. In Acrobat, I open the file and "Save as Other > Reader-Extended PDF".
Hi, the solution suggested by MHWinter works, i.e. using Acrobat to "Save as Other > Reader-Extended PDF". Thanks!
