Adding security destroys PDF

Hello,
Using Pro 9.
When add security to PDFs made some time ago using Pro 4, the effect is threefold:
1. Some pages go blank
2. Bookmarks disappear
3. Some pages have scambled letters (gobbledegook alphabet).
Perfectly OK when not usuing security.
Please can anyone suggest a  solution.
Cheers

Hi Grafitti,
You are right, no Pro 4.
It was my attempt to say that it was the earlier version no 4 (of Abode acrobat) which was used for making PDFs.
The exact name of it I do not know as these PDfs were made in 2002 & I do not have access to the original software
Cheers

  • I've had this iPad computer thing for a few months now. I used to just put in my password when I downloaded an app or such like. Now it wants me to set up 4 further questions and answers "for added security". How can I return to the old system?

    I've had this iPad thing for a few months. It used to just ask me for my password, but now it is demanding I set up four questions and answers for
    "added security". I don't want to do that, I just want to carry on as I was but the machine is preventing any app downloads etc.
    Seems the stupid machine is in control.
    How do I get it to listen when I threaten it with a good thrashing and a one way trip to the garbage unless it does what I say?
    Thanks

    You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

    Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
    You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

  • Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple: - You've taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you... and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?

    Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple, see below and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?
    Thank you.
    You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you.
    The rescue email address that you gave us is [email protected]
    Just click the link below to verify, sign in using your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts.
    Verify Now >
    The rescue email address is dedicated to your security and allows Apple to get in touch if any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions. As promised, Apple will never send any announcements or marketing messages to this address.
    When using Apple products and services, you’ll still sign in with your primary email address as your Apple ID.
    It’s about protecting your identity.
    Just so you know, Apple sends out an email whenever someone adds or changes a rescue email address associated with an existing Apple ID. If you received this email in error, don’t worry. It’s likely someone just mistyped their own email address when creating a new Apple ID.
    If you have questions or need help, visit the Apple ID Support site.

    In that case, someone is trying to hi-jack your Apple ID.
    You should change your password immediately.

  • How do I secure a PDF that has been signed so that it can't be opened in the new Word

    Hi all
    Hoping someone can help. As the title suggests I need some advice in securely locking a PDF after it has been signed.
    I know how to secure a PDF document so that it can't be opened in the new version of the Word 2013.
    File > properties > Security and pick password protect
    Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
    This then attempts to open the PDF and if secure it will fail to open if unsecured it will open making the content fully editable
    However when you sign a document you can't secure it by going file > properties > Security and pick password protect.
    Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
    This then opens the PDF and makes the content fully editable but removes the signature
    The content is fully editable - how can I lock this????????????????????????????
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Garetch,
    You could encrypt the file first, but set the permissions to allow for signing. After that you can sign the encrypted file (you just can't encrypt a signed file). As long as you get the order of operations correct (encrypt first, sign second) you will end up at the same place you are trying to get to.

  • Additional file size is added to my PDF when attaching it to an email in Outlook for Mac 2011

    I'm generating PDFs from Adobe Pro X. I have a 7.23MB PDF file that becomes a 9.8MB PDF file when attached to an email.
    I'm trying to keep the file size as small as I can - why is the extra size added to the PDF?
    I'm on an IMac, using Outlook for Mac 2011 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X/Indesign CC to generate the PDFs.  This isn't an isolated issue, it happens when I attached word documents as well and is extremely annoying!
    Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there (desperately!)

    One thing to check.
    Password – Mail keeps asking for Password
    Try running Keychain First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

  • Adding Metadata to PDF Form

    Hi, I'm trying to add some metadata to a pdf. I have the follow script in the form initialize event:
    if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
    var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
    form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
    endif
    I receive the error message:
    Argument mismatch in property or function argument
    I also tried this code:
    if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
    var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
    oNode.value = "Test Data"
    form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
    endif
    Which gave me this error:
    accessor "oNode.value" is unknown
    It appears that the oNode object is not being created.
    Any suggesting how I can add Metadata to the PDF?

    Hi,
    This is the code I use to place metadata into the pdf file. If you open
    the resulting pdf file using Notepad, the metadata is visible as readable
    text in the file. I'm not sure the same approach can be used to add
    metadata as viewed under Document Properties. We are not using it that
    way. Maybe by changing the node name?
    if ((EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != "")&&(EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != null))
            var vDesc=xfa.template.data.desc;
            var oNode1=xfa.template.createNode("text", "EMAIL_SUBJECT1");
            vDesc.nodes.append(oNode1);
    vDesc.nodes.namedItem("EMAIL_SUBJECT1").value=EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue;

    How did you get this to work? I
    I'm looking for a way to add/inject values (keywords) into the form's
    meta-data by retrieving the info/values from user input.
    To test the above solution, I added the following script to the initialize
    event as referenced, but I'm not sure what is happening:
    if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null)
    var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
    form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
    1. Do I need a field on the page?
    2. What part of the above script affects the meta-data?
    Thanks!

  • Edit a secure interactive PDF form without regenerating form?

    I have a client who needs for me to make a minor change to a password-secured interactive PDF form we've created for her. I have the password, of course, but Adobe Acrobate won't let me know enter the password without first saving the form as a copy. This, however, strips all of the interactivity from the form. I don't want to have to redo all of the fields just to make this minor change, and I imagine I'm just missing the obvious method of entering the password.
    So, how to I disable the password without wiping out the interactive fields so I can make the change then save the form again with security and interactive form fields intact?

    Thanks, Luke. They do. But then when I go to add the password security back to the document, I'm told:
    You cannot change security on this document because the document enables extended features in Adobe Reader. You can save a copy without extended Reader features using File -> Save A Copy.
    This, of course, takes me back to square one. I need to make the change but keep the same password protection (disabling the ability to edit the file) intact.

  • Adding security to a web service then generating a proxy [SOLVED]

    Hi
    I generated a web service based on a very simple java program. I have deployed it to a local oc4j install and successfully called it from a proxy generated from jdev. I am using 10.1.3.3.0.
    I added security to the web service and regenerated the proxy. I wanted to see the difference in the SOAP messages sent to the web service. However the proxy does not seem to have changed to take account of the new security settings on the web service.
    The security options I set were:
    On main security dialog: Ticked the port and "Text Password"
    On Authentication: Ticked "Expect Username ti Authenticate"
    "Password Required"
    Password Type = "Plain Text"
    "Nonce Required in Token"
    "Creation Time Required in Token"
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How do I get the proxy to send SOAP messages that contain the security headers required to run the web service. Here is the main method from my proxy. I thought adding setUsername and setPassword would be the solution
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                gpn3.Getphonenum3SoapHttpPortClient myPort = new gpn3.Getphonenum3SoapHttpPortClient();
                System.out.println("calling " + myPort.getEndpoint());
                // Add your own code here
                myPort.setUsername("oc4jadmin");
                myPort.setPassword("welcome");           
                myPort.getNum("Lisa");
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
    2. When the web service receives a user name and password what does it check them against? I assume the oc4jadmin user will be allowed access but how do I set up other users?
    many thanks

    I have figured this out now
    1. I needed to set the same security settings in my proxy as I did for my web service. I had assumed that the proxy would generate the necessary security settings from the web service.
    2. For some reason my web service application is using the system level jazn-data xml file
    oc4j_extended_101330/j2ee/home/config/system-jazn-data.xml
    This does include the oc4jadmin user and I am now able to use that account to call the web service. I also managed to add another user and use that account to call the web service successfully.
    Thanks for the help

  • Adding security password to pdf file

    I have pdf pack using adobe reader
    I wish to add password to open some documents.
    I cant find instructions on how to do this.

    Hi ZeideGil,
    To password-protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. That option isn't available with any of the Acrobat.com online services. You are welcome to try Acrobat free for 30 days if you'd like. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Securing a PDF or flattening a PDF

    When you create a PDF from Indesign, it is possible to secure it to make it non-editable, for example if you have a watermark that you don't want people to be able to remove. However, there is a lot of software applications that can over-ride the security. Is it possible to create a secure PDF from Indesign that can not be tampered with or is it possible to completely flatten a PDF (like an image) so there is no editable elements. If not, is there any third-party apps (server based or with API's) that can make a PDF more secure?
    Thanks, Tim

    Yes, we're looking at the jpeg option. It's not as ideal for a customer though if they are looking at a 16-page brochure as it would mean 16 jpegs. Was hoping maybe there was a way to secure or completely flatten a PDF.
    Hi Steve, the remove watermark feature in Acrobat does not remove our watermarks. Ours are added as .idms files at the Indesign Server stage when rendereing the proof PDF. However, it is possible to remove them with the touch-up object tool option in Acrobat and using the delete key, which is also easily done.
    So, what I can gather from this is there is no real way of securing or comletely flattening a PDF when creating the PDF from Indesign. So, maybe there is a third-party application which can do it?

  • Serious security concern: PDF dropped encryption & unable to re-encrypt. Get error 18

    Hi,
    I am really hoping that someone can help since this is a serious security issue for us.
    We had a document encrypted with a password (required to open it). However, along the way of several rounds of comments and reviews (which includes adding blank pages for lengthy comments), somewhere along the line, the PDF "dropped encryption." It has recently been noted that the PDF opens without password. So, I tried to re-encrypt but it gives the following error: "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (18)." Considering that there could be a disk I/O issue, I have copied this file to different disks and yet the error remains.
    Is there any way, regardless of how user-unfriendly it might be, to encrypt this file? Adding password to the file outside of PDF (e.g. zipping/compressing it with password) is not an option. I am on Acrobat 10.1.7 on  MS Windows 7 Professional.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Suny

    If you applied a user password (required for opening the file) but didn't also set an author password (required to change permissions) then anyone who opens the file in Acrobat can easily remove the encryption, as once past the initial prompt they have total control.
    Unlike with an author password, the user password on a PDF file encrypts the entire file stream; so any bit-level corruption during save or transfer cannot remove it - the encrypted stream would be altered (damaging the file contents) but it would not suddenly become plain; any more than a random bit change would turn English into French.
    You could try a low-level Preflight repair, but once a file has been corrupted it's very unlikely that you can continue to work with it. One option would be to export the annotations to a datafile (via the options menu on the Comments Panel), re-create the underlying document from source, then re-import the annotations.
