Editing of Rights Management protected files not allowed on mobile?

Hi, I have problem editing/annotating an Adobe Rights Management protected pdf file on my iPhone. I am authorized and can edit that file on my PC. I'd like to know if such limitation on mobile is normal. Thanks.

Got confirmation on Adobe that modification on encrypted files is disabled on mobile reader.

okikolin is correct. You can not modify encrypted or rights protected files on the mobile Adobe Reader regardless of whether or not you have permissions set appropriately.

Hi Pat,

We really..really hope that Adobe will do the fixes to enable annotation will be provided asap because we had a lot of feedbacks from our users that had been embarked with the LiveCycle policy protected file and they had requested to have the annotation feature. Its pointless not to able to annotate a pdf file even you had been allowed to modify the file in the policy set. Even the annotation tool is now available in the adobe reader mobile but the tool cannot be used for protected file with LiveCycle policy. Quite disappointed response by our users on the unavailable feature for annotation.

when we could expect the fixes to be provided and we could tell the good news to our valuable users. Any target date or time?
