For example, Adobe Reader cannot normally save filled in forms or apply digital signatures. If LiveCycle Reader Extensions is purchased with suitable options, it can prepare files that Reader ''can'' save or sign. LiveCycle Reader Extensions is sold on a quotation basis, and the price will vary according to the number of forms and end users, on the basis that these are nominally lost sales of Acrobat. The original marketing target was large businesses and government organisations such as the US Internal Revenue Service (who make saveable forms available through this technology). Smaller businesses have wished there was a service for enabling single forms at lower cost. A company FormRouter have contracted to provide this service at a fee per page and use, user or form. The Reader extensions to enable adding comments in Reader (but no other features) are also available in Acrobat Professional 7.0. This disables form filling, since otherwise saving comments would provide a back door for saving filled in forms. The EULA for Adobe Reader now forbids enabling features found in Acrobat ''except'' via files enabled via licensed Adobe Reader Extensions. This, it has been argued, would prevent third parties reverse engineering the system and offering alternative software since the ''end users'' would be in a sitation of license violation From the End-User License Agreement for Adobe Reader 7.0.7 {Link without Title} : " You are not authorized to integrate or use the Software with any ... other software or enhancement to programmatically interface with the Software for the purpose of (i) saving data locally (on the same Computer), except when allowed through the use of Document Feature(s) that have been activated using enabling technology from Adobe". .
