The Reader Extensions service enables your organization
to easily share interactive PDF documents by extending the functionality
of Adobe Reader with additional usage rights. The Reader Extensions
service works with Adobe Reader 7.0 or later. The service adds usage
rights to a PDF document. This action activates features that are
not usually available when a PDF document is opened using Adobe
Reader, such as adding comments to a document, filling forms, and saving
the document. Third-party users do not require additional software
or plug-ins to work with rights-enabled documents.
When PDF documents have the appropriate usage rights added, recipients
can do the following activities from within Adobe Reader:
Complete PDF documents and forms online or offline, allowing
recipients to save copies locally for their records and still keep
added information intact
Save PDF documents to a local hard drive to retain the original
document and any additional comments, data, or attachments
Attach files and media clips to PDF documents
Sign, certify, and authenticate PDF documents by applying
digital signatures using industry-standard public key infrastructure
(PKI) technologies
Submit completed or annotated PDF documents electronically
Use PDF documents and forms as an intuitive development front
end to internal databases and web services
Share PDF documents with others so that reviewers can add
comments by using intuitive markup tools. These tools include electronic
sticky notes, stamps, highlights, and text strikethrough. The same
functions are available in Acrobat.
Support barcoded forms decoding.
These special user
capabilities are automatically activated when a rights-enabled PDF
document is opened within Adobe Reader. When the user is finished
working with a rights-enabled document, those functions are again disabled
in Adobe Reader. They remain disabled until the user receives another
rights-enabled PDF document.
