Button to save as reader enabled

[tdjohnson7700]

Good evening!

I have a form that I am automatically saving with a button.  However, I will have to go into each form and save as reader-enabled.  It is for evaluation forms--so does not exceed the EULA. 

Is there a way to save as reader extended with a script?

Or--is there a way to save as other where the dialog box will pop up to be able to select the Reader Extended?

I would like the dialog to open in the same file path that the open file is currently saved in.

I am using Livecycle Designer ES3 with Adobe Acrobat Professional XI.  The form was created in Livecycle Designer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

No, there's no way to automate Acrobat to Reader-enable documents. This is an intentional limitation. If you need to automate this, you're expected to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions, or now the Adobe PDF Java Toolkit (http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdfjavatoolkit/features/#enablement) available from Datalogics.
