How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
on DRM protection.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

    is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

    Hi Kiana,
    As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

  • How can I EXCLUDE particular folders/files from being included in the Lightroom 5 catalog?

    How can I EXCLUDE particular folders/files from being included in the Lightroom 5 catalog?
    I want to be able to specify paths and/or filename patterns that should NEVER be indexed in the catalog: not that they don't show up under certain circumstances, just that they are NOT THERE (in the catalog) to begin with!!
    I also do NOT want to have to respecify these criteria when "synching" the catalog; criteria should be PERMANENT (or at least 'til they're changed in LR preferences).
    I cannot be the only person in the world with this problem--but it sure seems like it, because I've spent an inordinate amount of time doing online searches & I can't find anything that addresses this issue.
    Can anyone PLEASE HELP me?
    BTW, Adobe employees (if there are any of you out there), I'm simply trying out LR now.  If I can't get this (seemingly fundamental) thing worked out (with relatively little effort), Adobe is going to LOSE A SALE of LR, because it's useless to me without this feature.
    Thanks,
    -t

    Thanks for the info... but how to you TELL LR to EXCLUDE images in a particular directory/directory structure?  The intuitive place to indicate this would be a right-click on the folder itself (or particular images), but no such option exists..  "???"  Thanks again, -pt
    The same way that you avoid buying things in your local convenience store. You don't stick a lot of labels on certain shelves, slap a credit card down on the counter each week, and announce you are buying everything that doesn't have a label on its shelf. You just choose the things you want to buy.
    Your mention of "synching the catalog" suggests that you are expecting the LR library, to mirror the total images in the computer by default. This is not IMO a useful way to think about it. LR contains no images at all, by default: the Catalog starts out empty.
    Then you Add just those selected images that you want to import, among those already in the computer. That's a one-off process which is IMO best achieved controllably in batches - which you can keyword and otherwise organise in LR terms as you go. For new incoming images, ongoing, it is a question of Copying, Moving or Adding these in defined batches as they occur - from the relevant location only - there is no need to re-consider the import of a wider body of images. And one would not want to repeat that whole task anyway: one's prior investment in achieving the right selectivity, has a positive value.

  • How to stop an embedded PDF online from being copied and pasted?

    I have an issue which I need assistance with please.
    I can secure a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat XI and it disables it from being copied and pasted (right-click brings no such options) but, when I upload it online (to Wordpress) and link to it then it opens in Adobe Reader (or whatever PDF viewer the user has installed on their computer) and because of this they can highlight the text and right-click and then copy and paste it to a Word document and such, even though this was not possible in Adobe Acrobat XI but as soon as it goes online it is possible.  How can this be prevented?
    Basically I want to embed PDF's online for others to read and view directly online but I want to disable them from copying and pasting text - can this be done?
    Many thanks.
    Ian

    If I allowed the secured PDF as a download instead (because it could not be embedded) and they tried to edit it with their PDF software I assume the encryption on it and restrictions (e.g. no copy and paste) would still be enforced?
    Not a correct assumption. Some PDF software respects security and some doesn't. This has nothing to do with whether it is embedded or downloaded.
    Many people face this issue, but it is best to just get used to the idea that what you put on the web can be saved, shared, emailed, copied and recirculated. That's how the web is. Even if copy/paste wasn't allowed, the user could just do a screen capture and paste that. If that weren't allowed they could photograph the screen. And for some of the older generation, it even occurs to them to retype what they want...!

  • How can I prevent Adobe Reader X from being the default to open .pdf files?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 and will soon be getting V 10.
    I want Acrobat to open my .pdf files NOT Reader.
    Reader was installed because a certain program required it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you so much!  Unfortunately for me, it is grayed out.  I will need to get my IT admin person to set it for me.

  • How can I open a PDF file from a swf?

    Hi all,
    I created presentation using Flash cs5, and I want to make a link that opens an external PDF file. I have done this with past version of Flash, but how can I do it using cs5?
    Many thanks in advance,
    HDsuperglide

    Sorry, just linking like before doesn't seem to work. When you select the link button all you get is a search browser looking for the pdf file you are trying to open.
    This is what I was told to use.
    on (release)
    GetURL("name of pdf.pdf","_blank") ;
    Does not work on CS5
    Anyone have a real thoughts.

  • How can I create multiple PDF files from multiple InDesign files?

    I have 144 InDesign files that I need to create a PDF file for each. I do not want to open each InDesign file to create the PDF's. Acrobat Batch create won't open the InDesign files. Is there another way?

    Only InDesign can do this. You may want to look at InDesign automation.

  • How can I prevent client certificate information from being written to kjs log?

    I have an application running on iPlanet Application server 6.0 that makes an SSL connection to an external site using client certificate. Problem : Every time the connection is wrapped in a client certificate, the entire SSL handshake including the key-exchange information is automatically being logged in the kjs log. How do I prevent the kjs from writing this inormation to the log ?

    How are you making this SSL connection? Whatever library you are using must be writing to System.out().
    You could avoid logging these messages by using file logs rather than console logs. But you could probably disable these messages by working with your SSL libraries as well.

  • How can I prevent my iPhone 5 from being hacked or cloned?

    I have had my iPhone 5 hacked! How it's been done I think is by cloning or by some how signing in to my iTunes account as another device but that wouldn't explain how they are using my cell phone network. Verizon says that my phone has connected to other cell towers when I haven't even left my hometown!! So I know it's not my device!! Also my call and data and messaging details are activitys not coming from my cell phone! I notice that when I push the reset buttons in the headphone outlet my phone will run super fast for a few minutes and then go back to super slow!! Also my camera won't work and I can't connect any sound devices to it!! Help!! I pay good money for my cell service and for my new iPhone!!! This has happen to me and I can't seem to prevent it no matter what I try!! I have done factor resets but as soon as I do it it will go right back to hack mode!!

    I hand a similar problem with my old Iphone 4. My camera stopped working and internet was really choppy. I took it to the genius bar. They said there was nothing they could do as it was a hardware problem. I told them it happened after a ios update but they said that was most likely not the cause. Then I asked them has my Iphone been hacked they said no like I said it is just a hardware problem and they if I wanted a replacement phone I would have to ask my carrier as I was just out of warrenty. I ended up just waited for the Iphone 5. I would take your phone to genius bar  to see if they can fix it if or a replacement Iphone(assuming it is still in the warrenty period).If genius bar cannot help you could also try your carrier. If you do get a replacement Iphone you should be able to sync some data from your old Iphone to the new one. Also do you have trouble with your Iphone 5 volume adjusting by itself and static sounds from speakers when unlocking Iphone? My Iphone has been having these problems lately.
