Hi Community,

we are developing a PDF with from fields and having "NotAllowed" exception with method setDataObjectContents actual in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The goal is to read the form data as string and put it as file attachment into the attachment list of the same PDF.

Is there a way to script this without running into security issues using actual Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Many Thx's in advance!

You can use setDataObjectContents in Acrobat Reader when the PDF file has attachments rights.

Or use Adobe Acrobat Pro or Standard.

Thanks for your information! That's the question, how to give the PDF file attachments rights?

I did not found any option in the Acrobat Pro to set or Acrobat Reader.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
