Is it possible to lock a PDF so the view cannot be changed? (its rotation clockwise, or counter-clockwise)

Hey Guys, I'm in a little bit of pickle, just wanted to make sure i wasn't doing anything wrong for the boss man. Can the view for a document be locked?

No. The view can always be changed by the user (but not the document itself
if you apply a security policy that forbids that).

  • How do I lock a pdf except the signature field?

    I'm using Acrobat X Pro. I want to send a form for others to sign, but I don't what the signer do anything to alter the contents of the form except signing. Can I do that? If I can, how? Thanks!

    You can certify your PDF (provided that it does not have any signatures yet). However, the permissions granulation in Acrobat UI does not allow you to distinguish between signature fields and other field types. So, if you allow others to sign this PDF you also allow them to fill other form fields, which is not what you want. You need LifeCycle solution that has more granular permissions handling but this is an expensive piece of software. If you distribute many PDFs like this it may make sense for you. If your volume does not justify this investment you can do the following:
    If you do not have other signatures you can flatten your PDF form (Google "flatten PDF form in acrobat x" to learn how to do it), add one or several new unsigned signature fields, certify with "form fill-in and signing" permission (this PDF does not have any form fields other than signature fields anymore), so that the content cannot be changed and send it to the signers.

    How do i create a form in live cycle E4 that i can save as a PDF that the user cannot save over?

    You can't. If the file is made read-only via the file system, the user will prompted to save as a new file if they attempt to save.

  • Light Table question - Lock this Browser to the Viewer?

    What does the button that says "Lock this Browser to the Viewer" do?

    You can open multiple Albums or Projects at once using Shift-click or Alt-click. If you do this without locking the Viewer pane to a particular Browser pane then the Viewer will automatically swap to whichever tabbed Project or Album you select.

  • If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

    If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

    Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

  • Is it possible to load a PDF into the ipad Photos app?

    I deal with documents that then have to be sent to a specific site that only accepts .doc, .docx, pdf.
    I can't e-mail them, because the site must access iPad so that the documents are correctly received and accounted for.
    That site can only access the iPad's Photos, nowhere else.
    Is it possible to load one of these three formats into the ipad Photos app?

    Thanks Diavonex, but that doesn't work (see my question).
    I can easily produces JPGs and load them into Photos, but the site in question can't access them ( it only accepts .doc, .docx, PDF).

  • Is it possible to open a PDF from the notes section in the iPhone/iPad calendar app?

    If it's not possible, do you know if there is a third party app that can accomplish this? I am an administrative assistant and it would be very helpful to attach PDF documents to my boss' calendar in Outlook so then he could access it from his iPhone/iPad at meetings. As of now, I email him the required PDF documents before his meetings so he can then access them using iBooks. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Not directly as an attachment, but you can put a URL.  A web link.
    E.G., a dropbox file link might be quick and easy.  It's how I would do it.

  • Problem while exporting to PDF in the viewer

    I have a report developed in crystal report 2008.and i am using java SDK  to launch it in crystal report viewer.
    Once i try to export it to PDF from viewer the font face changes differently
    for example if my font is Arial Narrow it changes to ArialNarrow and Times New Roman changes to TimesNewRoman
    even though both looks of same name..it looks differently while downloaded.

  • Action to Convert Word doc to pdf, error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

    I am simply running an action that converts all Word 2010 docs within a directory into pdfs in another directory. The Word doc is closed.
    This is performed within Adobe Pro X.  The directory to look in has been set.  The directory to save in has been set, and is different.
    The error message pops up after I run the action.  If I click the OK button, the 'save pdf file as' box pops up, with Adobe printer's default save directory
    (not the same as the above two) selected.
    If I click Save, accepting the meaningless file name (ADPD5A5.pdf in this case) the problem goes away.  If I chose cancel, the problem also goes away.
    I don't want to save this pdf as anything other than what is set up in the action.  How do I stop this from happening?
    I've unchecked 'prompt for Adobe pdf file name' within the Word Adobe preferences, but to no success.
    I will ultimately be converting scores of docs into pdfs, and cannot have to interfere with each one.
    This worked fine on my XP machine, but now in Windows 7 64 bit (new machine, new Adobe install) it is causing this problem.

    A bit of a confusion on my part;
    Now we have created these REPORTS using Basic Crystal Report 10.5, which comes bundled with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.0. Now on our machines, we have never experienced any issues.
    Going by the above, you should have references to CR assemblies of version 10.5.3700 only. No other references.
    Now, looking at this paragraph:
    BUT on the DEV server (web server) which has .net Framework 3.0 and in its GAC its has CRYSTAL DLLs version 11.5 (required to create an Object of ReportClass and its related functions) ; sometimes we get the following error while exporting crystal report to pdf:
    I wonder what runtime was deployed to the server. E.g.; if you are using CR 10.5, your assemblies will be 10.5.3700 and you should be deploying the following runtime (depending on 32 bit / 64 bit, etc.):
    CRRedist2008_ia64.msi

    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351342008E/CRBasicVS2008_redist_x86.zip
    One way to check on what is actually loading is to use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility.

  • Is it possible to show all content in the view?

    When using the viewer window content that falls outside of the bounds of the composition is cropped. Is there a way to show all content similar to how flash works? This would arranging things a whole lot easier!

    Haha! I was about to say how this is annoying - i'm trying to make a big structure and then zoom around it and then I realised....build the structure and then make the camera move, not the object! It's obvious really! Ugh...you've got to love fridays.
    Thanks anyway!

  • Can I publish a PDF to the web and have others access it and use weblinks within the document?

    Is it possible to publish a PDF to the web and have the viewers be able to click on links within the document.  I'm asking because I found a PDF file WebQest online and it allowed me to click on the links.  How did they do that?

    What is your operating system?
    Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

  • How to lock score displayed in the BSC web

    Thanks for your quick respnse.
    Martin Xie

    hi
    score will be calculated automatically as per the formula u defined in value field and assignment table.
    Score will be changed if the plan data in the cube is changed.
    If u apply data slices in BPS then the data can be locked for any more changes and the score cannot be changed.

  • Possible to overwrite a pdf when in use or open a pdf without holding/locking the file for update

    Possible to overwrite a pdf when in use OR alternative open a pdf without holding/locking the file
    We frequently generate pdf files from our 3D program and would like to know if it's possible to either open a pdf file in a way that it doesn't get locked or hold up so the pdf can be updated even when opened or in use.
    Most programs e.g. ultra edit & notepad will let go the file when you opened and hence the file can be updated or over written even when in use.
    If any guru can help, would be highly appreciated

    Hi Abbas,
    It's not possible to overwrite a pdf when it is already in use by a different program or user. The file then opens up in Read Only mode.
    You can make a copy of the file and then apply those changes later in the original file. That's the only possible solution.

  • Can you lock a pdf file?

    Hi all! I have a client who has created a pdf booklet. It's a form that people will be filling out. She wants to distribute it on a CD. So... people will have to be able to copy it to their computer to open and fill it in. However, she then wants them to NOT be able to copy the pdf (she doesn't want it duplicated so that others can use it). Is this even possible? Can you lock a pdf like that? Thanks!

    >What kind of restrictions?
    Check File>Properties>Security for the different options.
    Keep in mind that security on a PDF file is easy to get around.

  • Locking PDF but only allow further signatures & get the list of of changes made after signing

    Hi,
    I have looked at Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and found the Signing > locking feature which blocks any changes after the document is signed. I need to know whether using Acrobat SDK, one could implement a similar locking option via plugin in a way that it ONLY allows further blank signature fields to be created or sign existing ones and locks all other changes. If possible, any pointers to API functions would be appreciated.
    If the above is not possible using Acrobat SDK 9.0 then can the SDK provides a list of all the set of changes made after the signing is performed (at the time of verification) in the form of some codes which can guide the plugin author about what change after signing was done e.g.
    a blank signature field was signed
    a blank signature field is created
    watermark has been applied
    form is filled
    sticky notes/stamps/other annotations are added
    Regards,
    mwak

    Thanks for your response. I have just performed this:
    I signed a PDF ( having no prior signature or blank signature fields ) using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and locked it. I am now not able to create more signatures on this PDF. I believe I can't add more signatures even using the Acrobat SDK and Lock means complete lock-down of the document. This is different to what you said " it restricts modifications EXCEPT for other signings" or may be I am not understanding it clearly.
    I created two blank signature fields. When I clicked on the first, there is no Lock settings at the time of signing. I believe because If it is locked then the next signature can't be signed. With only a single signature field present, the lock feature is there.
    So I believe I have to resort to the option of identifying the changes in a revision and then if it the change is related to say adding stamps, sticky notes prompts the user at the time of verification.
    Can some one point me to the API functions set which identify list the objects which have changed after signing.
    Regards,
    mwak
