Class ReaderExtensionsServiceClient

java.lang.Object
  com.adobe.livecycle.readerextensions.client.ReaderExtensionsServiceClient

public class ReaderExtensionsServiceClient
extends java.lang.Object

Enables the creation of a Java object that invokes operations that belong to the Reader Extensions service. Using this object, you can perform tasks such as adding usage rights to PDF documents. Usage rights pertain to functionality that is available by default in Acrobat but not in Adobe Reader, such as the ability to add comments to a document or fill in forms and save the document. Documents that have usage rights added are called rights-enabled documents. A user who opens a rights-enabled PDF document in Adobe Reader can perform the operations that are enabled for that document.
