Question

Privileges, NetHTTP, and Acrobat Pro vs Reader

We serve the publishing community by customizing our PDFs to allow file uploads. We use net.HTTP.request calls.

We have tried setting the privileges as 'trusted' on the file, the folder into which it is downloaded, the host from which it came, and the security zones in windows --- all to no avail (the Javascript gets 'not allowed security error')

We get that error only for Acrobat Reader DC

The file upload works for Acrobat Pro DC.

Both apps have identical security settings.

Is there some de-featuring going on with respect to Javascript in Acrobat Reader DC compared to PRO?

For Acrobat Reader the document must have form rights. Read the documentation in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

Thank you.

The Document Properties security tab - Document Restrictions Summary shows

Filling of form fields:  Allowed

Is there a different document - level property that I can look at from the PDF document to verify the 'F' setting in the JS reference?

You add form rights to a document with the server product LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
