Introduction
Rights-Enabled PDF Files
When creating a PDF document, it is possible to create certified documents by assigning
special rights to it that enable users of Adobe Reader to fill in forms, participate in online
reviews, and attach files. LiveCycle Reader Extensions
®
may be used to activate additional
functionality within Adobe Reader for a particular document, thereby enabling the user to
save, fill in, annotate, sign, certify, authenticate, and submit the document, thus
streamlining collaboration for document reviews and automating data capture with
electronic forms. In addition, users of Acrobat Professional can Reader-enable
collaboration.
