LiveCycle Reader Extensions Rights credential 15
LiveCycle Reader Extensions Rights credential
Before you begin the installation process, you must obtain and install the LiveCycle Reader Extensions
Rights credential. This credential is a digital certificate specific to LiveCycle Reader Extensions that enables
Adobe Reader usage rights to be activated in the PDF documents produced. If the credential is not
installed, LiveCycle Reader Extensions will not install properly or run. You cannot use a standard digital
certificate for this function; you must use the dedicated Rights credential.
Note:
The Rights credential cannot be used for typical document signing or assertion of identity. For these
applications, you can use a self-sign certificate or acquire an identity certificate from a Certificate
Authority (CA).
Obtaining a Rights credential
The following types of Rights credentials are available:
Customer Evaluation
: Creates draft documents only and is valid for 2-3 months.
Production
: Full-functioning certificate provided to customers who have purchased the full product.
Production certificates are unique to each customer but can be installed on multiple systems.
The Rights credential is delivered as a digital certificate containing both the public key and the private key,
and the password used to access the credential.
If your organization orders an evaluation version of LiveCycle Reader Extensions, you receive an evaluation
Rights credential, either from the sales representative through whom you ordered the product or from the
website where you downloaded the evaluation product. If you are already running Adobe Reader
Run Configuration Manager and select the Custom
Configuration Wizard. This will configure and assemble
the products.
