Using Adobe Reader Extensions with the Creo View Adapter for Documents
The Creo View Adapter for Documents can also be configured to add Adobe Reader extensions. When the Documents Adapter adds the Adobe Reader extensions to a PDF file, it communicates back to the WVS infrastructure not to apply Adobe Reader extensions, since it already has been done by the Documents Adapter. If using a DDX template to add watermarks is enabled, the Reader Extensions Enabled preference should be set to Yes, so that Adobe Reader extensions can be reapplied when adding a watermark. See the “Configuring the Creo View Adapter for PDF” chapter of the Creo View Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
When Adobe Reader extensions are enabled in the Documents Adapter, and not set on the Windchill Server (i.e., the Reader Extension Enabled Preference is set to “No”), the system displays the following warning message while creating a representation for a local PDF file when the DDX Template Enabled Preference is set to “Yes” in the Job Details:
Warning: The Reader Extensions may have already been applied to "<your PDF file name>.pdf" Contact your system administrator to enable the Reader Extensions preference when using a DDX template.
In the above instance, when a user tries to launch the representation in Creo View, the system displays the following message:
"This document has enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and the use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author of the original version of this document."
