Saving Password for a pdf file in HP Client Security Manager

Hello,
I want to save the password for a pdf file in the Password Manager of the HP Client Security Manager Software but the symbol for the entry of the password is not appearing on the top right of the screen. If I use the registered fingerprint a dialog opens where the Client Security Manager asks which account it should use to login. But i can't add a password for the file. The login for websites is perfectly fine.
Do you have any idea how to fix that?
Is there a way to manually enter password for files?
Thanks in advance.

Password Protection for pdf file

Hi Gurus,
Wish u happy new year
Is there any possibility for giving the password for the pdf file from SAP so that it should be password enabled. Now am able to send the pdf file attachment through mail. But my requirement is I have to give the password facility to the pdf file so that when the user wants to see the pdf file in mail it should ask that password.
Hope my requirement is clear.
Points will be awarded
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Gurus,
Any Solution
Thanks

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.

How do I password protect a pdf file - getting error messages?

I'm trying to protect a pdf file (i.e. a tax return printed to PDF) with password to open and password to modify. However I'm getting an error message in a pop up window saying..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder." I'm using WIN 8.1. and I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (student / teacher version). This is a standalone PC so I can't imaging someone else is using this file. Also I've tried renaming and saving to a different folder (from the folder the original file is saved). I've also looked at properties of the PDF file and its not tagged as read only. Please advise if I'm missing something. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for responding...I'm getting the same message that I got at first..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder."
The next day I emailed the file to my work PC and encrypted it with no problems. I have WIN 7 and am using Acrobat 8.0 there. So the problem seems to be with my new PC here at home (i.e. WIN 8.1 and Acrobat XI). Frustrating. I'm betting its some obscure setting in WIN or Acrobat, that is way over my head. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks again.

Will Standard Edition of Adobe Acrobat allow password protection for PDF files or do I need to purchase Acrobat Pro?

I need to password protect PDF files in an office environment. I was wondering if I need Adobe Acrobat Pro or would the Standard Edition suffice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Standard is sufficient.

How to apply passwords to existing PDF files?

My MS-Access app creates about 1000 pdf files. Each file is required to have a unique password and will be emailed as attachments via a VBA procedure in Outlook 2007.    Certificates are not feasible, despite my objections. So I am looking at having to manually set the 'Open File' password for each file individually. The files are created in an Access '97 VBA procedure (by sending the results of an Access Report to the Adobe PDF Printer). Is there any way with VBA (either Access '97 or Outlook '07) to apply a unique security policy or otherwise set a unique 'Open File' password for each of the files, either as they are being created and saved - or after the fact?
I can create an Action in PRO X and manually select all the files and set the passwords. I can then encrypt and password-protect all the files at once - but they all get the same passwords - ok for 'Permissions', but not for 'Open'. Can Action fileds be modified from VBA? Or is there a way to creat an Action that can modify another Action? For example, if there is an Action named "Apply Pswd" which will apply a predefined common set of passwords to all files selected, can there be an Action, named "Apply Unique Pswd" that will update the 'Open' password field in the "Apply Common Pswd" Action as well as the name of the individual file that is to have that password? Sort of like passing parameters to a function. i.e.:
"Apply Unique Pswd":
1. Get next .pdf file from directory.
2. Get next password (whether caluclated or read from a list).
3. Open the "Apply Common Pswd" Action.
4. Change the 'Open' password and the name of the file to select (the 'Permissions' password does not change).
5. Execute the "Apply Common Password" Action - which at this time is only affecting a single file.
6. Verify the 'Open' password (or bypass the verify step, if possible).
7. Loop through all files in the directory.
   or
3.   Don't use Actions - save the .pdf file in such a way that the common 'Permissions' password and the current 'Open' password are applied to the appropriate file.
3a. Goto 7.
I have also investigated Secure Envelopes in Outlook, but again, it appeas to be a manual procedure to apply unique passwords.
I would greatly appreciate any tips, suggestions, snippits, or ideas - or enlightenment that it is just not possible to create .pdf files with passwords in VBA nor to use VBA to set the passwords post-creation.

I am looking for similar thing, I need to apply a password and permissions to thousands of PDF files & I do not want to open them all manually.
Did you ever find a solution?

Can I password-protect a PDF file?

I'm trying to set up a site with a 'members-only' area that
contains PDF files. Is there some way to password-protect the files
themselves, or do I need to settle for a protected php page that
links to the files. While it's unlikely that a non-member would be
able to guess the filenames, it's possible that an ex-member who's
username and password have been removed would still be able to
access the files with a bookmark, as they're not protected.
I understand that short of a commercial product to convert
pdf to html, I'm stuck with the pdf format, but is there some way
to embed the pdf within a html page?

You can actually create files and store them with different
names, so as
they can't be downloaded conventionally ...
In most Windows, and I am assuming PHP setups - you can store
files above
the root and use a page to call them ...
You protect them too - I think on a blanket (all instances of
the file have
the same password) approach is easier ...
Or take a look at this

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 pro, I tried using Document Processing -> Batch Processing, where I created a new sequence of commands from the available list, but it didn't work out as intended, and it doesn't cover the whole cycle I want.
I hope you could tell me the way to accomplish this.
Thanks.

This can't be done in a batch process in Acrobat since you can't set an encryption password in this way (you can either set the same password to all files, or have the batch prompt you to enter each one separately).
Also, where are the passwords and email addresses come from? Are they a part of the file? Stored in a text file or database somewhere?

Password Protection of PDF file generated thru SAP

Hi,
I have written a program to send payslip through email . This mail sends the payslip as a PDF attachment.
I want to password protect that PDF document, so that it asks for a password before being opened by the employee.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Sanchit

Hi sanchit,
1. The payslip passes thru SCOT
   settings,
   which in turn generates the PDF
   and sends mail.
2. SCOT does not provide any such facility,
   for password protection.
3. I don't think the password
   concept can be done in a normal fashion !
