Is there a way with javascript to Save a PDF Form with the Reader Extended PDF option activated?

I was expecting to be able to do so with an Action, but this is not available.

Thanks!

I’m right to also think it’s impossible with an Action? Or a button with execute a menu command?

Yes, purposefully so. Adobe doesn't want people to be able to do it, unless they purchase a special server-application from them.

However, these right are not really necessary anymore, if the users have a relatively recent version of Reader.

sort of, Here's the two menu item names for saving with rights (i.e. the free ones)

Basic annotation Rights - "Annots:ReaderEnable"

form filling - "DIGSIG:UBDoc"

These still require user interaction.
