Protect PDF files with a password
Hi everyone,
Do you know if there's a way to protect PDF documents with a password? I don't mean those apps (e.g. Google Reader) that let you password-protect your files just while you're using/viewing them on the iPad, I'd like an app that if you want (let's say) send your protected PDF via mail, it's still protected!
I finally managed to find the application I was looking for: it's called Foxit PDF nad it's free to download on the App Store!

How to protect against a pdf printing without protecting the file with a password ?
I want to know if it's possible to protect a PDF against printing without protecting the file with a password ?
It's possible to make it with Acrobat Reader or another version ?
Thank You
Best regards.Hi,
Yes, you can restrict editing and printing of the document; although you have setup a permission password (To restrict the users from changing the document permissions).
Please follow the steps mentioned below:-
Open the file in Adobe Acrobat- Document properties- Security- Change security method to password security- Select Restrict editing and printing of the document

Hello, I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody show me how to do that
Hi surez,
To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Now i am able to create PDF with Digital signature. But We want to assign password protection too..and problem is once we fix Digital signature we can't change security.
My problem is to pass password at the time of opening PDF for embedding signature. Password window should not prompt to the user while running VBA application.
Can you please help me to pass password on fly when file prompt password while opening PDF file. As file need to be opened at the time of fixing signature using sdk javascript code.Correct, you need to encrypt then sign.
Unfortunately, there is no way to pass a password for opening. -
Open a pdf file with owner password
Hai!
I use adobe reader component in vb.net.
normal loading :
AdobeReader.src = "C:\mydoc.pdf" is ok! 'Using the reference of AxAcroPDF
or
webbrowser1.navigate("C:\mydoc.pdf")
I have two questions..
1. how do i know whether the given pdf file required user password?
2. how can i send the password via my program?
please help me.Thanks for your reply!
To open only! As i said eariler i used to display the pdf file in vb 2008 using
AxAcroPDF1.src="C:\mydoc.pdf"
Above one is works fine if it doesnt set owner password....
1. User wil give the pdf file, need to know whether it needs the password or not by program
2. i need to programmatically enter a password and bypass the user interface prompt for password.... [ Like : AxAcroPDF1.src="C:\mydoc.pdf","pass" ]
Thanks once again! -

OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.
I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
that is protected with a password.
Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
Does anyone have any experience with this?FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE. -
ADE Not Compatible With Password Protected PDF Files
The version of ADE I downloaded will not work with password protected PDF files. What do I do?
Thanks.ADE does not (yet) support files that use the Password Security handler, so you will want to use a different PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader.

IPad to wireless printer with password protected pdf files?
I have a iPad 2 connected wirelessly to a HP Photosmart 6520. I usually have no problem printing a variety of file and docs....including pdf files. My friend sent me some password protected PDF files today. I have the password and can open them just fine....but I can't get them to print. It just ignores me (no error message). Any suggestions?

Hi all, as a contributor to an e-book I received a pdf file with password-protected proofs. Of course I know the password to unlock the file.
Unfortunately on my system (Opensuse 10.2 + acroread 7.0.8 5/22/06) all I get is an error message stating that I should be connected to the internet to open this file and that my ability to open this document on line has expired.
This is quite strange, since I *am* connected to the internet via adsl. Needless to say that I can open the document under windows...
Can anybody please help me?
Thank you,
MauroNot knowingly.
I looked in my Adobe updates and didn't see anything about it. I se that
there are updates available to just about every one of the products in the
Suite. Massive, if you do them all at once.
Are they really necessary? I didn't see anything in there about the help
viewer though.
Thanks.

Password Protected PDF Files in Elementary OS
I have installed Acrobat 9.5.5 on my Elementary OS (Ubuntu base) system but when I try to open a password protected PDF file from my bank Acrobat fails with the error "There was an error opening this document. An updated version of Acrobat is needed in order to open this document.".
The version that I have installed claims to be 9.5.5 04/26/2013.
Has anyone got any pointers?
ThanksWell, first, you probably don't have Acrobat 9.5.5 installed on Ubuntu unless you are running a VM image or using WINE to do so. You are probably using Adobe Reader 9.x. If a file was encrypted for Acrobat X and later then you do actually need Adobe Reader version 10.x or later. Unfortunately there isn't a version 10.x for UNIX/LINUX. What to do? Use a VM or WINE and load it up that way. If you really are running Acrobat 9.5.5 on Ubuntu via a VM image or WINE then you need to load Adobe Reader 10.x or Adobe Reader 11.x.

How can I print a protected pdf file if I know the password in Acrobat Reader 9?
Hi,
I have just received a password protected PDF file (Password isn't for opening the file, but to change security settings like copying, editing etc. only). I have the password for the file, but have no idea as to where I should enter this password in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9?
Someone pls give me the steps to find the password field in Adobe Acrobat reader 9 to enter this password.
Hope I don't need Adobe Acrobat 9.0 for this and reader would suffice?
Thanks in advance.You can change the protection with Adobe Acrobat and the password. Not possible with only Adobe Reader.
