How do you encrypt a PDF with Adobe reader, not Adobe Acrobat?

I would like to encrypt PDFs using Adobe Reader. However, all instructions for encrypting a PDF require me to use Adobe ACROBAT, not Adobe READER. How do I encrypt a PDF using Adobe Reader?
Extra Note: I use Adobe READER version XI and Mac OS X 10.9.

Adobe Reader does exactly what its name says: it reads PDF files, nothing more.

    How do you encrypt a pdf file before sending

    Hi paleo1453,
    I'm not sure I follow your question. Are you asking how you can apply security to a PDF, or how the Acrobat.com online services encrypt files when you send them?
    Best,

  • How do you convert a PDF to Word or Excel in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    How do you convert a PDF to Word or Excel in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    Refer to Acrobat 9 Help PDF (installed with Acrobat 9 is installed).
    Review the  discussion for Exporting PDFs in Chapter 5 of this Help PDF.
    The PDF is also available on Adobe's site.
    http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/acrobat/9/professional/acrobat_pro_9.0_help.pdf 
    Good to know is that the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year 2013.
    Be well...

  • How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

    I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font.  I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
    I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
    A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

    Anna;
    Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
    If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Surface 2 - Need Adobe Reader NOT Adobe Reader Touch

    I have a Surface 2 and need regular Adobe Reader in order to use a forms program.  When I try to download reader, I get a message that says I can't use the app and need to get the app from the Windows store.  However, the app in the Windows store is only the Adobe Reader "Touch" and this does not work with my forms program.
    Has anyone experienced this problem or know the solution?
    Thanks

    Actually I was pretty freaked out too but very fortunately, I have been
    able to figure it out by going to the forms website directly as opposed to
    accessing it through the realtor association hub.  I was thinking I might
    have had to upgrade and was not looking forward to that experience.
    Thank you again for your help!

  • How to open in regular adobe reader, NOT touch?

    How do I open a pdf in adobe reader, NOT adobe reader touch, as I am on a laptop?  I dowloaded adobe reader, and uninstalled (I thought) adobe reacher touch - yet when I open a file from email - it defaults to touch which I cannot operate on a laptop.

    You can go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Default Programs, then set Adobe Reader XI as the default program.

  • How do you open a PDF using Adobe Reader on your IPad in IBook?

    How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

    You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
    You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
    Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.

    I have been trying to start my subscription again for my Acrobat XI Pro and for the annual subscription of the PDF Export for Word and Excel.  The PDF Export expired according to my subscription list, but, I think that I had cancelled my Acrobat XI Pro of $ 29.99 monthly, so, I am wanting to presubscribe for it again, but, when I try to put my Code in for my Debit Card, it will not register with your company.
    So, I do not know what to do to get it back again with my monthly and annually subscription payments for PDF Export and for Acrobat XI Pro.  I have already downloaded the Adobe Reader XI onto my computer so I am set for that product.  I just do not know what to do about the PDF Export and the Acrobat XI Pro to be able to get them started once again.

  • How do I crop a PDF with Preview.

    How do I crop a PDF with Preview.
    For some strange reason, when I crop a PDF using preview the rest of the PDF is still “their” when opened using other software.
    I truly want to crop a PDF and have the uncropped portions completely go away.  Do I really have to open Photoshop to do this?

    "there" not "their"  -  unless I am really confused about what you are doing !
    I put a white rectangle over what I wanted to crop out of the pdf I was working on.
    Not a  proper solution, i then needed to use "export as PDF" of my PDF so that the next user of the document couldn't simply lift off the rectangle I had put on the document to cover what ideally I would have removed.
    Add mark up is something else I tried, to black out the text that I wanted concealed, but we are limited to a slim choice of colours, not including black.
    I would like to see a function "crop" with "crop inside" and "crop outside" options. I am not familiar with Adobe or other software. Presumably since they invented it, Adobe is the place to go if you have repeated exercises requiring meddling with Adobe documents.

  • How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

    How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

    Hi,
    You can achieve this by using text tags. EchoSign Text Tags are specially formatted text that can be placed anywhere within the content of your
    document specifying the location, size, type of fields such as signature and initial fields, check boxes, radio buttons and form fields, and advanced optional field processing rules. Text Tags can also be used as names of PDF Form fields.
    Text Tags are converted into EchoSign form fields when the document is sent for signature or uploaded to the EchoSign Document Library. EchoSign Text Tags can be placed in any document type such as PDF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and text files (.txt, .rtf)
    Please refer to page 5 ( date) and 10 (signature) of the Creating Adobe Echosign Forms With Text Tags.The document can be found here
    Thanks,

  • How do you open a pdf?

    How do you open a pdf file?  I can download Adobe but it still opens as a blank page.

    Your Mac has a built it PDF reader/editor called "Preview." If you have installed Adobe Acrobat, it should open those same files with no issue. There may be an issue with the file you are trying to open.
    Perhaps try to open the PDF with Preview, and see if you have the same issue.
