Unable to password protect file to email using Acrobat XI whether saving excel PDF or scanning document and then trying.  Security Method has no drop down menu to change None.

I cant get password to work on Acrobat XI.  Can not get a drop down menu to appear to change security method from None.

Make sure that you use Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

  • I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

    I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

    If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
    Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

  • Password protected files not opening with acrobat reader 9

    I receive text file embedded in a PDF which is password protected. I just changed my comp from Vista to Windows 7 64 Bit and got the reader 9 duly updated. Earlier I was using reader 7 and the files used to work and open. Now they do not open and their is a big PIN mark on giving the password. The following message is displayed "Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened" the file type is ZIP.  Please help

    But it did work on windows vista with reader 7. If it is not at all possible then
    my question is can I uninstall reader 9 and install reader 7.
    will it work on windows 7 64 bit

  • How to I unlock a password-protected file?

    How do I unlock a file that I have saved without knowing the password?

    Hi eks,
    The only way to open (or edit) a password-protected file is by using the password. Did you save the file from a website or email? If so, you may be able to get the password from the person who created the file.
    Best,
    Sara

    I am unable to password protect a pdf file. Any thoughts. I went to help and none of the options were available to me.. I pay for pdf conversion to word and excel

    Password protection is ONLY available with Acrobat Standard or Pro. The PDF to Word converter is just what the name implies... PDF to Word... No encryption, no protection.

  • Password Protected File Problem

    Hi I am using Acrobat 10.1.13 using windows 8.1 and when I try to protect a pdf I created from being edited (no password required to open the file) and when compatibility is set to Acrobat X and Later, I keep running into issues.  If I try to email it or even host it in the cloud and try to open with an iPhone or other pdf reader, it keeps prompting for a password and says the document needs a password to open.  However, no password is required to open it and i've triple checked the security properties of the document and none exist.  if I change the compatibility to 7.0 and later on the same pdf, it opens just fine and doesn't ask for a password to open.
    I also tried this using Acrobat XI with the same results.  I've tried opening the files on different pdf viewers, even the native one to windows 8.1 and no viewers are able to view the files without providing a password to view the file.  I tried to open the file using the same password I used to restrict editing and that password won't even open the documents. 
    Please advise as to what can be done to fix this issue or bug...

    I am basically trying to watermark a document and setting the security to not allow any editing.  So what you are telling me is that if I set the security to not allow editing and not set an open password, it will not be viewable on any readers except adobe products? The only resolution is to change the compatibility to 7.0?

  • How do I add a password protection to my email on my iPAD?  It just pops up now.

    How do I add password protection to my email on my ipad?  My email just pops up now.

    There is no way to password-protect apps (on a non-jailbroken device), but you can password lock the entire device in which case nobody would be able to get into your email (or your device, period) unless you unlocked it for them or they knew the code. Like Meg St._Clair suggested, the best idea is to use the web browser on your iPad (whether it be Safari, Skyfire, etc.) to access your email, then be sure to sign out when done, ensuring others can still use your device, but can't access your email account.

  • How do I keep a Pages 09 password protected file in iCloud?

    After uploading a Pages 09 password protected file from my laptop it shows as a page with the Pages 09 icon in the center (no visible text) in iCloud.  So far so good.  But once I open that doc using my iPhone, a task that as expected requieres entering the password, the protection seems to disapear and the file gets saved without the protection right in iCloud. The icon for the document changes from the Pages icon I described above to the text of the first page, just as a regular file, and if I try to open it back again entering the password is not requiered!
    How do I keep the file password protected?
    Thanks.  Ale

    Files stored in iCloud are stored locally as well as on some remote Apple server - just not on the desktop. You cannot keep the file on the desktop but you should be able to locate it in your Mobile Documents folder, make an alias, and put the alias on your desktop.
    The Mobile Documents folder is in your Library folder (hold option while selecting the Go menu in the Finder) and your Numbers documents are located in com~apple~Numbers

    Thanks

    It seems that everyone asking this question have links from Grand Canyon University which will soon have over a 100,000 online students that all use ebooks that open just fine in Adobe Acrobat on their PCs BUT NOT on the mobile versions of Adobe Acrobat. Whatever allows this on PCs needs to be added to the mobile version soon.  We rely on our etextbooks that can ONLY be opened on the PC version of Acrobat.  That is ridiculous.  I can't believe with all the posts regarding password protected ebooks on this forum....that it hasn't been resolved.  No one can give you a link because the ebooks are on a website that needs a password.  We can save the books to our harddrives/dropbox...  I could send you a copy, but thats it.  Surely someone at Adobe knows what the hell is going on and can test the problem out themselves?

  • Password protected file issue

    I downloaded a password protected file that requires Acrobat reader 10. iOS version cannot seem to open. Any suggestions? I'd like to be able to use the text highlight and note features in the iOS version.

  • Password protect files before sending to backup

    I use dropbox for online backup. They lack the ability to password protect files before sending them to dropbox. Is there a way to do this, given how dropbox works?
    Or, is there a backup service similar to dropbox (windows and mac in one account) that does provide password protection before sending?
    One option is to compress and encrypt the files then drop that zip into a dropbox folder. I'd loose the auto backup monitoring since I would have to get involved with each backup but that's ok if nothing else is available. Any suggestions on something free that can compress and password protect the compressed file? Or if nothing free, what else is good?

    How do I know the DMG is going over to dropbox encrypted?
    Control-Click on the .dmg
    Select Show Package Contents.
    You should now see the individual 8MB chunks that make up the Encrypted Sparse Bundle.
    Open any of them (maybe using TextEdit, or TexWrangler, or Smultron). If you can figure out what is says, then encryption is not working. However, what you should see is gobbledy gook (encrypted data).
    Also, the DMG initially set its size to 100MB. Can that grow dynamically?
    I am not sure, but I think it will not. However, because you are using a Sparse Bundle, it will only consume the space it needs to hold the files you put into the mounted .dmg, so you can size it for a very large size. Maybe the size limit Dropbox imposes on you.

  • Xserve, Windows 7 and password protected files

    I have a Late 2006 Xserve running Sever OS 10.4.11 and I'm having a heck of a time connecting to any password protected files. For example, I can go "Map Network Drive", add the "Users" (\\xserve\Users\) folder and then access any unprotected folders within that directory (lets call them Bob and Tom), but not any of the password protected files (lets call that user Mike)
    If I click on the Bob or Tom folders (under "Users") it lets me in, no problem.
    If I click on the Mike folder (also mapped under "Users"), it says I don't have the correct access privileges. It's a straight up denial, no prompt for alternative login info.
    My first thought was this; go "Map Network Drive" and map the Mike folder directly (\\xserver\Users\Mike), but use the correct login info (username/pass). It prompts me for the username and password. HERES WHERE I'M STUCK! No matter what I put for the username and password, it denies me. I've tried resetting the password (through the server interface), then sucesfully logged in using my MacBook Pro (using the exact same username/password I had been trying with Win-doze)
    Again, I can connect to most of server files and folders from the Windows 7 machine (after following the "Set value to 'Send LM & NTLM' " procedure suggested by Vocal Jazz Fan on these forums. BIG THANK YOU!)
    So, is this impossible to fix? Is it just the nature of the beast running Windows machines on a Mac server? Why is it only these protected files that I can't access? That seems so strange to me.
    For a background, we had previously used Windows XP and logged into these folders with no problems.
    Note: this server is at a community center and thus has very limited funds and computer expertise, hence the reason we're two full OS's behind. If we cannot get this to work, we're prepared to hire some server jockeys to completely overhaul our server (run Windows on our Xserve hardware), which will take 2-3 days at about $120 an hour. Please help!

    I'd spend a few of those US$120 per hour hours with a Snow Leopard Server upgrade, as the software has matured substantially from Tiger Server to Leopard Server to Snow Leopard Server.
    [Here are my crib notes for getting Windows to work with Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard Server)|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1590], which might be useful as a starting point.
    With those Windows registry keys as search targets, there are a number of discussions of getting Samba password-protected shares to work with Windows and Windows 7 boxes posted around the network, both at Microsoft and via the Samba mailing lists.
    These cases sometimes get as far as running Wireshark and dumping the network traffic, too.
