Non-latin text disappears from DRM-protected pdf file

Hi,
I'm facing with following issue - when I package pdf with non-latin data (for example, arabian characters), they are not shown in ADE.
Adobe Content Server: 4.2
Client: ADE 2.0, DL Reader 2.4.7 (Android), Bluefire Reader 1.5.7
Screenshot of 3rd page of document in ADE
Pdf file is here - http://engineering-scratch-copyright-com.s3.amazonaws.com/nonproduction/ACS/arabic.pdf

Hello,
Hope someone can clue me into what I am doing wrong. I use Overdrive for EPUB files from the library but they also have PDF files I would like to read which are DRM protected. On the website it says that I can use Adobe Digital Editions and transfer the file from the library website to my computer and then my computer to my phone. I can't seem to get the file to transfer from my computer to the phone. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
To Wildman,
Here is a link to Overdrive where the OP is getting the files that are either epub or pdf format that comes with DRM protection. I looked into using it at one time for lending books from my library and reading on my Nook e-reader, but never got around to setting it up completely.

How to open protected pdf files.

I am trying to find out how to get my new tablet to allow me to open password protected pdf files.

It sounds like you have DRM-protected PDF files, which are different from password-protected PDF files.
Are your PDF files protected with Vitrium's Protect PDF technology? None of the Mobile version of Adobe Reader (e.g. Reader Touch, Reader for iOS or Android) currently supports it because it's a proprietary technology.
Your school should have the information about which PDF viewer to use to open those files. Does it tell you to use Adobe Reader? If so, you might want to try the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI.

Cannot copy text from DRM-free PDF on PC

I can on my Mac. Both use Adobe Reader v11.x. I think the behaviour started when I updated to version 11 on the PC.
I cannot copy text from DRM-free PDFs that I read. I can switch to the Select Tool cursor but drag-select does not work as it did before. Double-click can highlight (and copy) a word. A triple-click can do so for a line. This is clumsy and inefficient and I cannot grab more than a line of text.
File > Properties: Security shows 'No Security'. I am stumped. Is there some detail I am missing? (I downloaded and switched to FoxIt Reader to take notes now but prefer my knowledge of navigation shortcuts in Adobe Reader.)

Hi jroth,
How are you "re-printing" the PDF? Once you have a PDF file, it shouldn't be necessary to re-create it just because you've made changes. You could simply save the file at that point. But it sounds like you're concerned about preventing changes to the comments. If that's the case, rather than reprinting, you could assign some document permissions to the PDF to prevent people from changing the content. To assign that security, choose File > Properties and click the Security tab.
I'm guessing here, because I'm not sure what process you're using, but it sounds as though that second iteration is being printed as an image. That would change the searchable text to an image, and could certainly cause the issue you're encountering.
Best,
Sara

DRM-protected PDF crashes Safari on iPad

DRM-protected PDF crashes Safari on iPad (iOS 5.1/9B176). After restart the document is blank. When choose Acrobat from "Open it..." list it says "The document is empty". Is there a workaround?
It looks like Safari PDF preview software failes to handle DRM protected PDF (by Adobe LiveCycle ES). I am not sure but this was working before.
Thanks.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > Safari then tap to delete history, cookies, and data then try Safari.
* No data is lost due to a reset

Texts disappear from screen

Hope someone can help. For some reason, my text screen states "No entries in this view". If a search a contact, their dialogue of texts appear. I only see texts if a search a specific contact. I went to my carrier and they are unable to fix. They want me to buy a IPhone. Help......why did my texts disappear from view? I can send texts and they are not in view. I have no way of receiving text unless I search for a contact.

Bluefire Reader can't open DRM protected PDF

I transferred a DRM protected PDF to my iPad and now I want to open it via Bluefire Reader on the iPad. When trying to open the PDF, I get a message: " Add Account: This application is authorised with the following user accounts: (here goes my user account xxx). This item (i.e. PDF) was originally downloaded with a different user account or Adobe ID. To continue, please add that account". I don't understand why. My Digital Editions has the same Adobe ID as the Bluefire reader.
When I installed Adobe Digital Editions for the first time I might have not authorised my PC straightaway but later I did that.
Please help, where is the problem?
I would very much appreciate your suggestions how to solve the problem I described.

If you downloaded the PDF to the PC before authorizing your Adobe ID on the PC, then the PDF will be locked to a sort of anonymous ID that ADE uses when not authorized to a 'proper' ID. In that case you would not be able to read the PDF on the PC any longer after authorizing ADE with your own ID, or read it anywhere else. Unfortunately, in that case I do not think there is any way to return to a previous anonymous ID and recover access to the document.
If the book was downloaded after authorizing your Adobe ID on the PC, it should be OK. I don't know if Bluefire suffers the same as ADE and sometimes gets authorizations confused. Try deregistering Bluefire from your ID and reregistering it.

Printing a password protected PDF file using acroread from Unix?

We installed v8.1.3 acroread on the server but we are unable to print a password protected PDF file from command line in Unix? cat <passprotected>.PDF | /usr/bin/acroread -toPostScript | lp -dprinter we get the following error "lp: Error - stdin is empty, so no job has been sent." Please advice Thank you in advance. MSUDHAN.

Hello, If the pdf file has a doc open password or if printing is disallowed you will not be able to print it using the commandline. Any other pdf can be printed using the same command : cat a.pdf | acroread -toPostScript | lp -d <printer> Regards, Rishi

How do i copy text added to a protected pdf and save in word.

how do I copy text added to a protected pdf and save in word?

More details would be helpful. What security restrictions are there, exactly? Do you know the password? Do you want to copy all of the text in a document, or just some?

TS2516 Why does text disappear from some of the pages? No matter what I do, to include reviewing spelling, the text will disappear in preview mode.

Why does text disappear from the pages in my iPhoto book project? When I try to buy the book, it comes up with spelling errors (which are names that the dictionary doesn't recognize), but even after clicking "ignore", the text disappears when I preview the book. Even this is inconsistent because the same words appear on other pages. There is text on other pages that disappear for no apparent reason. This has become very frustrating and time consuming.

Are you previewing using this method? http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2486

Acrobat 8.1 and C# - How can you detect password protected PDF files?

I am modifying our existing C# code that opens PDF files. But when ever we hit a password protected file, we are prompted for a password. This is an automated process, so if we detect a password protected file, we move the file to a manual processing folder to be processed later.
We are using Acrobat 8.1 Standard.
Our code looks like this:
using
System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Linq;
using
System.Text;
using
Acrobat;
using
System.IO;
using
Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using
System.Reflection;
     AcroApp app = new AcroApp();     app.Hide();
     try
          if (app != null)          {
               app.CloseAllDocs();
               AcroAVDoc av = new AcroAVDoc();
               if (av.Open(filename, "Test") == true)               {
                    AcroPDDoc doc = new AcroPDDoc();                    doc = (
AcroPDDoc)av.GetPDDoc();
                    doc.Save((
short)Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull,
                    Utilities.GeneratePath(FileVersion.TEMP) + fi.Name.RemoveFileExtension() + ".PDF");                    doc.Close();
     catch (Exception ex)     {
          ErrorLog.LogError(filename.RemoveFileExtension(), ex);     }
     finally
          app.CloseAllDocs();
          app.Exit();
This works great for non-password protected PDF files, but it prompts for a password if the file is password protected. I was looking at the FileOpenEX functionality, but I can not find the reference to bring into my C# project. It looks like it is only for C++, since I could only find C++ examples.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

There are no methods in the Acrobat SDK for C# for what you wish to accomplish.

How to display in browser a password protected pdf file I created?

I created a password protected pdf file.
I want to display the file in browser so that viewers can only view it online.
It is better that viewers cannot download it.
But I donot know how to prevent viewers downloading the file.
Since the pdf is password protected, viewers don't have the password even they download it.
But how can I display the password protected pdf file in browser when I know the password?
Or is there a better to just viewers see the pdf file online and prevent them from downloading and printing it?

Any file on the web has to be copied to the local machine in order for the file content to be presented to the viewer. That's how the "www" is built. So, to make use of your web based PDF the file has to be downloaded to the local machine. This might be to the local machine's temporary internet / browser cache or (via a 'save this to my computer') to some other location on the local machine's HDD. Bottom line -- web based files get downloaded this is the case for protected file or a non-protected file.
Be well...

Possible to convert DRM protected WMA files to mp3?

I've been attempting to find a relatively simple way of converting DRM-protected WMA files to mp3 using my Mac and can't seem to find anything. Surely somebody must have figured this out by now. I can convert non-DRM WMA files to mp3 using EasyWMA, but this does not work for WMA files with DRM protection.
I want to purchase songs from the 7digital store that are in the WMA format and have DRM protection, convert them to MP3 on my iMac, and then import them into iTunes. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard.
Any suggestions?

iTunes Windows will convert non-DRM tunes into .mp3. If you have iTS purchases that have DRM you can burn them to an audio format CD as AIFF file format.
Check the terms of use and see what your options are for converting them to another format. With iTunes the path is to burn an audio CD. See if that is possible with the wma DRM.
Likely in your case you are trying to crack DRM outside the original terms of use when you purchased the tunes.

Can iTunes Import Nokia DRM Protected Music Files

I have 10000s of downloads from Nokia's Comes With Music / Ovi Music Unlimited. Ignoring the issues over the 25k limit, these are DRM protected downloads runnable from Nokia phones and any computer I nominate with a 90 day period before allowing a reswitch. Will iTunes Match recognise the Nokia DRM protected music files and give me a DRM free product at a higher bitrate?

You won't be able to match non-Apple DRM downloads - you'd have to find a way to strip the DRM off first. For example, Rhapsody had recommended ripping their protected DRM files by burning to CD (as well as Yahoo! Music and Walmart) so that way the DRM layer would be removed at the expense of sound quality. I'm not sure how this service works but iTunes probably won't be able to import them as-is.
You probably don't even need to subscribe to iTM to test this - just install iTunes and try to import the files - if you can't import them into iTunes, then iTM definitely won't work.
