Security: "Save As"

Can I prevent a recipient from using a pdf file to create their own file by doing the "Save As" command?

Use ctrl-D to get to the document properties and then select the security tab. You have two types of security options. One requires a password to even open the file. The second uses a password to set restrictions on copying, printing, etc. Be aware that this security works reasonably for most users, but there are work arounds that defeat your desired result.
Your best protection may be a legal one in which you specifically copyright the information in the file, possibly on top of the security settings. People may copy the information, but then you have a legal alternative to use to get compensation -- though not a simple process and may not be worth the trouble. The most secure step is to use digital rights management. However, even DRM is not perfect and often annoys folks because they can't even transfer the file to another computer in some cases (at least this is the case for music files).

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995

  • Disable PDF security Save/Save-as

    Is Acrobat have a feature to disable the Save/Save-as in a PDF Document?  Alternative any creative ways to view for web browser and prevent user from saving the PDF Document?
    Appreciate your expertise for guidance.

    However, none of that helps once the PDF is displayed because the user can save it using the PDF viewer. There is no security that can stop a PDF from being saved, shared, copied and emailed.
    DRM (at a 5-6 figure sum) could protect the file so unauthorized copies can't be opened.

  • Norton internet security saves logins

    I use Norton Internet Security for my computers. I also use Firefox rather than Internet Explorer. I recently attempted using the newest version of Firefox and discovered that I cannot use the autofill feature of Norton to fill in logins. I retreated to 3.5.8 version and all is well. I cannot upgrade unless this issue is resolved.
    Also I am unable to open certain Adobe Acrobat files from within the Firefox program as I am informed that the latest version of the Reader is unable to open anything. I know this is an add on problem but am asking what version of Reader is supported in Firefox so that I can reinstall a previous version.

    See Norton for an update for Firefox 3.6 compatibility.

  • How do I save files from my HD onto Time Machine?

    If I delete files on my hard drive to free up space (i.e., movie files that I want to save in an external harddrive), time machine will not keep these files for me on my external harddrive, since time machine just backs up what is in Macintosh HD. Right? How do I make it so Time Machine does NOT delete these files from it's archive?

    beccasanchezmartin
    How do I make it so Time Machine does NOT delete these files from it's archive?
    You need to seriously consider options OTHER than time machine for important data.  TM premise is storing a copy of your machine, its design and purpose is not for archiving important data youve spent years working on, despite countless people who in fact, and in error, use it that way.
    since time machine just backs up what is in Macintosh HD. Right?
    Correct, time machine is an entry level backup methodology, you need to consider something other than time machine for that.   You NEVER want to work off the premise of needing to delete things.
    Buy an external HD and store vital files on there, .....Time Machine is a sytem backup, NOT a data archive, nor a primary redundancy.
    Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
    #1. Time Machine / Time Capsule
    Drawbacks:
    1. Time Machine is not bootable, if your internal drive fails, you cannot access files or boot from TM directly from the dead computer.
    2. Time machine is controlled by complex software, and while you can delve into the TM backup database for specific file(s) extraction, this is not ideal or desirable.
    3. Time machine can and does have the potential for many error codes in which data corruption can occur and your important backup files may not be saved correctly, at all, or even damaged. This extra link of failure in placing software between your data and its recovery is a point of risk and failure. A HD clone is not subject to these errors.
    4. Time machine mirrors your internal HD, in which cases of data corruption, this corruption can immediately spread to the backup as the two are linked. TM is perpetually connected (or often) to your computer, and corruption spread to corruption, without isolation, which TM lacks (usually), migrating errors or corruption is either automatic or extremely easy to unwittingly do.
    5. Time Machine does not keep endless copies of changed or deleted data, and you are often not notified when it deletes them; likewise you may accidently delete files off your computer and this accident is mirrored on TM.
    6. Restoring from TM is quite time intensive.
    7. TM is a backup and not a data archive, and therefore by definition a low-level security of vital/important data.
    8. TM working premise is a “black box” backup of OS, APPS, settings, and vital data that nearly 100% of users never verify until an emergency hits or their computers internal SSD or HD that is corrupt or dead and this is an extremely bad working premise on vital data.
    9. Given that data created and stored is growing exponentially, the fact that TM operates as a “store-it-all” backup nexus makes TM inherently incapable to easily backup massive amounts of data, nor is doing so a good idea.
    10. TM working premise is a backup of a users system and active working data, and NOT massive amounts of static data, yet most users never take this into consideration, making TM a high-risk locus of data “bloat”.
    11. In the case of Time Capsule, wifi data storage is a less than ideal premise given possible wireless data corruption.
    12. TM like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    13. *Level-1 security of your vital data.
    Advantages:
    1. TM is very easy to use either in automatic mode or in 1-click backups.
    2. TM is a perfect novice level simplex backup single-layer security save against internal HD failure or corruption.
    3. TM can easily provide a seamless no-gap policy of active data that is often not easily capable in HD clones or HD archives (only if the user is lazy is making data saves).
    #2. HD archives
    Drawbacks:
    1. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    2. Unless the user ritually copies working active data to HD external archives, then there is a time-gap of potential missing data; as such users must be proactive in archiving data that is being worked on or recently saved or created.
    Advantages:
    1. Fills the gap left in a week or 2-week-old HD clone, as an example.
    2. Simplex no-software data storage that is isolated and autonomous from the computer (in most cases).
    3. HD archives are the best idealized storage source for storing huge and multi-terabytes of data.
    4. Best-idealized 1st platform redundancy for data protection.
    5. *Perfect primary tier and level-2 security of your vital data.
    #3. HD clones (see below for full advantages / drawbacks)
    Drawbacks:
    1. HD clones can be incrementally updated to hourly or daily, however this is time consuming and HD clones are, often, a week or more old, in which case data between today and the most fresh HD clone can and would be lost (however this gap is filled by use of HD archives listed above or by a TM backup).
    2. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    Advantages:
    1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
    2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
    3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
    4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
    5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
    6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
    7. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
    HD cloning software options:
    1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
    2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
    3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.
    #4. Online archives
    Drawbacks:
    1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
    2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
    Advantages:
    1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
    2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
    3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
    4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
    5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
    #5. DVD professional archival media
    Drawbacks:
    1. DVD single-layer disks are limited to 4.7Gigabytes of data.
    2. DVD media are, given rough handling, prone to scratches and light-degradation if not stored correctly.
    Advantages:
    1. Archival DVD professional blank media is rated for in excess of 100+ years.
    2. DVD is not subject to mechanical breakdown.
    3. DVD archival media is not subject to ferromagnetic degradation.
    4. DVD archival media correctly sleeved and stored is currently a supreme storage method of archiving vital data.
    5. DVD media is once written and therefore free of data corruption if the write is correct.
    6. DVD media is the perfect ideal for “freezing” and isolating old copies of data for reference in case newer generations of data become corrupted and an older copy is needed to revert to.
    7. Best-idealized 4th platform redundancy for data protection.
    8. *Level-3 (highest) security of your vital data. 
    [*Level-4 data security under development as once-written metallic plates and synthetic sapphire and likewise ultra-long-term data storage]
    #6. Cloud based storage
    Drawbacks:
    1. Cloud storage can only be quasi-possessed.
    2. No genuine true security and privacy of data.
    3. Should never be considered for vital data storage or especially long-term.
    4. *Level-0 security of your vital data. 
    Advantages:
    1. Quick, easy and cheap storage location for simplex files for transfer to keep on hand and yet off the computer.
    2. Easy source for small-file data sharing.
    Make a (some) Redundancy of data
    Secondary data on a single external HD or RAID array is not a redundancy, but a PRIMARY data copy.          First Redundancy takes place on a Secondary storage medium/locus. (both of these external of course)
    2nd level protection in any redundancy necessitates it "be unconnected".           Data ON the actual computer is not considered, ergo a single copy OFF a computer is just that, a backup / copy.  Redunancy begins as secondary to a FIRST COPY

  • How to make encrypted data more secure?

    Hi All,
    We are using Oracle 9i database. We have a task to encrypt some of data before storing into database. We have developed a function to encrypt the data using Dbms_Obfuscation toolkit. But, the user who has access to that function source code can easily decrypt the data. Now we need to have the solution so that we can securely save/store Encryption Key, which can be accessed by Application User only.
    One alternative we are thinking is creating a table in SYS user and storing the value there. We can grant SELECT privileges to Application User Only.
    We are looking for other alternatives if we have any. Do you have any idea?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Dharmesh Patel
    Database Server:
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
    With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
    JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
    ******************************************************/

    I had a look at this conundrum a while back, when we wanted to store credit card details in a database. Basically, there are two choices:
    (1) Don't store the key in the database and make the users type it in whenever they want to see encrypted data; or
    (2) Store the key in the database and accept the risk that it might be abused by privileged users (i.e. DBAs).
    As many users have difficulty remembering their password when it's MOM123 I think it's unlikely they will be able to cope with a properly secure PKI string.
    You can mitigate the risks inherent in option 2 by having very strong auditing of the function's execution, but I'm sure knowledgeable, black-hatted DBAs will be able to find workarounds.
    But, if you can't trust your DBAs you're probably stuffed anyway.
    Cheers, APC

  • How do I back up one hard drive onto another hard drive regularly

    I have two Western Digital passport harddrives.  I am using a MacBook Pro. One with about 400 GB's of media on it and the other of which I want an exact copy.  For the first run, I am just drag/dropping the files but dont want to do this everytime I need updated backup.  Is there a solution for harddrive 2 to copy exactly what has changed on harddrive 1 without deleting 2, and dragging all the files from 1 back over? I am looking for a solution without the obvious "just drag files you chaged over"
    Thanks in advance

    use cloning software, .....see here for ALL options:
    however  "dragging over changed files" is what I do, and I have an ENORMOUS file collection.

    4. Massive capacity (also its drawback) with multi-bay NAS, perfect for full system backups on a larger scale.
    5. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
    JBOD (just a bunch of disks / drives) storage
    Identical to NAS in form factor except drives are not networked or in any RAID array, rather best thought of as a single USB feed to multiple independent drives in a single powered large enclosure. Generally meaning a non-RAID architecture.
    Drawbacks:
    1. Subject to HD failure but not RAID failure and mass data corruption.
    Advantages:
    1. Simplex multi-drive independent setup for mass data storage.
    2. Very inexpensive dual purpose HD storage / access point.
    3. *Level-2 security of your vital data.

  • Safari 1.3.2, in 10.3.9, outdated, obsolete, - no longer works in ebay.

    I'm disappointed that Safari 1.3.2 in Mac OS 10.3.9 is rapidly becoming defunct.
    But, I'll get by if someone can please help me migrate my keychain passwords to Firefox.
    Thank you!!

    Aside from the E-bay change, what about Safari 1.3.2 does not work for you?
    Firefox 2.0 is a very good browser. It has its own way of preserving passwords, so migrating those from your Keychain is not possible. Its method of saving Keychain information is similar to Safari. Here's what Firefox says about it:
    "Firefox can securely save passwords you enter in web forms to make it easier to log on to web sites. Clear this checkbox to prevent Firefox from remembering your passwords.
    Even with this option preference checked, however, you'll still be asked whether to save passwords for a site when you first visit it. If you select Never for This Site, that site will be added to an exceptions list. To access that list or to remove sites from it, click the Exceptions button.
    Use a master password - Firefox can protect sensitive information such as saved passwords and certificates by encrypting them using a master password. If you create a master password, each time you start Firefox, it will ask you to enter the password the first time it needs to access a certificate or stored password. You can set, change, or remove the master password by checking or unchecking this optionpreference or by clicking the Change Master Password... button. If a master password is already set, you will need to enter it in order to change or remove the master password.
    Show Passwords = You can manage saved passwords and delete individual passwords by clicking the View Saved Passwords button."
    The process of building your password file in Firefox can be done over time, or all at once - the latter certainly would be tedious. Nonetheless, using Firefox would give you a browser more adaptable to current Internet content than Panther's Safari.

  • How do I Access purple backups from external hard drive for Time Machine

    My hard drive crashed and I installed a new one.
    Did internet recovery and upgraded to my previous OS.
    I am trying to get my data but the backup is purple that I need and I cannot access it.
    How do I do this.
    Also if I did something wrong, how do I setup Time machine to restore my whole system and set it up so the backups are accessible instead of purple.
    Thanks in advance.
    I am using Mavericks

    Very impressive that it is that easy but trying to get my data is a pain.
    Time Machine is a  backup of your computer SYSTEM,  not idealized as a data archive.
    Consider other options for the future  >
    Data Storage Platforms; their Drawbacks & Advantages
    #1. Time Machine / Time Capsule
    Drawbacks:
    1. Time Machine is not bootable, if your internal drive fails, you cannot access files or boot from TM directly from the dead computer.
    2. Time machine is controlled by complex software, and while you can delve into the TM backup database for specific file(s) extraction, this is not ideal or desirable.
    3. Time machine can and does have the potential for many error codes in which data corruption can occur and your important backup files may not be saved correctly, at all, or even damaged. This extra link of failure in placing software between your data and its recovery is a point of risk and failure. A HD clone is not subject to these errors.
    4. Time machine mirrors your internal HD, in which cases of data corruption, this corruption can immediately spread to the backup as the two are linked. TM is perpetually connected (or often) to your computer, and corruption spread to corruption, without isolation, which TM lacks (usually), migrating errors or corruption is either automatic or extremely easy to unwittingly do.
    5. Time Machine does not keep endless copies of changed or deleted data, and you are often not notified when it deletes them; likewise you may accidently delete files off your computer and this accident is mirrored on TM.
    6. Restoring from TM is quite time intensive.
    7. TM is a backup and not a data archive, and therefore by definition a low-level security of vital/important data.
    8. TM working premise is a “black box” backup of OS, APPS, settings, and vital data that nearly 100% of users never verify until an emergency hits or their computers internal SSD or HD that is corrupt or dead and this is an extremely bad working premise on vital data.
    9. Given that data created and stored is growing exponentially, the fact that TM operates as a “store-it-all” backup nexus makes TM inherently incapable to easily backup massive amounts of data, nor is doing so a good idea.
    10. TM working premise is a backup of a users system and active working data, and NOT massive amounts of static data, yet most users never take this into consideration, making TM a high-risk locus of data “bloat”.
    11. TM like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    12. *Level-1 security of your vital data.
    Advantages:
    1. TM is very easy to use either in automatic mode or in 1-click backups.
    2. TM is a perfect novice level simplex backup single-layer security save against internal HD failure or corruption.
    3. TM can easily provide a seamless no-gap policy of active data that is often not easily capable in HD clones or HD archives (only if the user is lazy is making data saves).
    #2. HD archives
    Drawbacks:
    1. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    2. Unless the user ritually copies working active data to HD external archives, then there is a time-gap of potential missing data; as such users must be proactive in archiving data that is being worked on or recently saved or created.
    Advantages:
    1. Fills the gap left in a week or 2-week-old HD clone, as an example.
    2. Simplex no-software data storage that is isolated and autonomous from the computer (in most cases).
    3. HD archives are the best idealized storage source for storing huge and multi-terabytes of data.
    4. Best-idealized 1st platform redundancy for data protection.
    5. *Perfect primary tier and level-2 security of your vital data.
    #3. HD clones (see below for full advantages / drawbacks)
    Drawbacks:
    1. HD clones can be incrementally updated to hourly or daily, however this is time consuming and HD clones are, often, a week or more old, in which case data between today and the most fresh HD clone can and would be lost (however this gap is filled by use of HD archives listed above or by a TM backup).
    2. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    Advantages:
    1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
    2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
    3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
    4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
    5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
    6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
    7. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
    #4. Online archives
    Drawbacks:
    1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
    2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
    Advantages:
    1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
    2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
    3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
    4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
    5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
    #5. DVD professional archival media
    Drawbacks:
    1. DVD single-layer disks are limited to 4.7Gigabytes of data.
    2. DVD media are, given rough handling, prone to scratches and light-degradation if not stored correctly.
    Advantages:
    1. Archival DVD professional blank media is rated for in excess of 100+ years.
    2. DVD is not subject to mechanical breakdown.
    3. DVD archival media is not subject to ferromagnetic degradation.
    4. DVD archival media correctly sleeved and stored is currently a supreme storage method of archiving vital data.
    5. DVD media is once written and therefore free of data corruption if the write is correct.
    6. DVD media is the perfect ideal for “freezing” and isolating old copies of data for reference in case newer generations of data become corrupted and an older copy is needed to revert to.
    7. Best-idealized 4th platform redundancy for data protection.
    8. *Level-3 (highest) security of your vital data. 
    [*Level-4 data security under development as once-written metallic plates and synthetic sapphire and likewise ultra-long-term data storage]

  • Logical to Physical Mapping

    Newbie to the Analytical Workspace Manager v. 11.1.0.7.0 and using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0. Installed the global sample schema and associated objects. Created the workspace in AWM and I am able to see all cubes and dimesnion objects. I am now trying to do the logical to physical mapping of the dimension objects with the tables that I imported into the global schema. I right-click on the Channel dimension, but I do not see the Mapping option. I am unable to launch the mapping canvas. All I see is Maintain, Analyse, Set Security, Save, View Data and Delete. Am I missing something in the installation?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
