Additional Usage Rights
Additional Usage Rights
Livecycle Reader Extensions sets permissions within a PDF document that would otherwise
be disabled through the usage of a certificate issued by the Adobe Reader-Extension Root
Certificate Authority. Permissions for Reader-enabled PDF files (also known as certified PDF
documents) are determined by the combination of the user rights settings in the PDF file
and and a special Object Identifier (OID), embedded within the certificate, specifying the
additional permissions to be made available. The permissions are listed below:
Form: fill-in and document full-save
Form: import and export
Form: add and delete
Form: submit standalone
Form: spawn template
Signature: modify
Annotation: create, delete, modify, and copy
Annotation: import and export
Form: barcode plain text
Annotation: online
Form: online
Embedded File: create, delete, modify, copy, and import
LiveCycle Reader Extensions
During the design process, a PDF document may be created through the usage of LiveCycle
Designer
®
, LiveCycle Forms
®
, or Adobe Document Server
®
. Then the document creator
may assign appropriate usage rights using the LiveCycle Reader Extensions. The PDF
document is made available on the Web, and users may complete the form on the web site,
or save it locally and subsequently complete and annotate it, digitally sign it, add
attachments, and return it.
In effect, LiveCycle Reader Extensions will enable functionality within Adobe Reader for a
given document that is not normally available. After the user has finished working with the
document, those functions will be disabled until the user receives another rights-enabled
PDF file.
One major advantage of LiveCycle Reader Extensions is that it supports data automation
through XML-based representation and transfer via SOAP, thus ensuring seamless
integration with business logic and advanced data transport capabilities available within
enterprise applications.
