I'm glad you found this article useful. Since the Adobe Reader does not support ADBC, there's nothing you can do to the PDF (i.e. extending/rights-enabling) that will let it use ADBC in Reader. The same is not true for <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/formbuilder/2006/09/connecting_a_form_to_a_database.html" rel="nofollow">ODBC data connections to databases in XFA forms</a> saved as PDF: Adobe Reader supports XFA data connections however you are required to <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/server/readerextensions/" rel="nofollow">reader-extend</a> (i.e. rights-enable) the PDF in that case. The PDF does not need to be extended if it's used in <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/formbuilder/2006/08/importing_data_in_acrobat.html" rel="nofollow">Acrobat Standard or Professional</a>. Carm,

The same is not true for ODBC data connections to databases in XFA forms saved as PDF: Adobe Reader supports XFA data connections however you are required to reader-extend (i.e. rights-enable) the PDF in that case. The PDF does not need to be extended if it’s used in Acrobat Standard or Professional.

I just stumbled on this problem when I tried using a Rights Enabled PDF (XFA form) with Adobe Reader 8. I was stumped at why the Rights Enabled PDF (XFA form) would work in Acrobat 7.x or Acrobat 8.x but it would not work with Adobe Reader 7.0.9 or 8.x. If you can would you please confirm that its not possible to use Adobe Reader and a Rights Enabled PDF to access a DSN to locate and access databases? /Carm Scaffidi A very happy Adobe (previously employed at Adobe Ottawa) Software user and Adobe Product promoter :) Stefan, thank you for this valuable information.
