Adobe pro 8: how to make an existing secure encrptyed form unfillable after editing

Hello,
as the discussion topic says.
adobe pro 8: how to make an existing secure encrptyed form unfillable after editing?  Is it even possible to do in adobe pro 8?
For work there's a secure and encrptyed form.  I want to write in the form and save it so it will be unfillable / uneditable.
this form is not created by myself, and already secure and encrypted.
I am aware that in other recent adobe pro versions on how to do this, since they have a " save as a copy" function in the file menu. (adobe 8 doesnt have)
I've also tried printing as a PDF, but due to encryption of the form, that doesn't come out great.
Upgrading to a recent version of adobe pro is not an option.
I've also tried exporting as a picture files and then recombinding them to a pdf.  I dont like this method and find it time consuming.
If possible please inform me of a way to solve this problem , step by step with adobe pro 8's features.
or
show me the equivalent method to how recent versions "save a copy" of a secure encrypted form on adobe pro 8.
Thanks in advance for reading this thread and helping.

Well after you use save a copy, and the security is disabled, you could then re enable security features and disable editing of the form.
EDIT: I just tested , with a PDF is in secure mode, even using a "save a copy" feature wouldn't work.
Would finding a program to desecure the pdf be a possible option?
Or is there a way to copy the form (with all it's editable fields) and paste it as an unsecure pdf?
You would then be able to make new security features.
thanks for replying and viewing this problem.

  • How to Make Wirless Network SECURE

    I am running my desktop hard line to a comcast modem which runs XP Pro. My Laptop which is running Vista is set up wireless via the WRT54GS Linksys Router.
    The wireless network is running great but it is identified as UNSECURED!
    After three 30 minute waits last night, 2 disconnects when I was not understanding them ( not a computer whiz but I do ok) and 1 live chat tech that copy and pasted the directions on how to set it up but not how to make it secure and then a quick disconnect    .
    Can anyone tell me exactly HOW TO MAKE THIS NETWORK SECURED and WHAT computer shall I use to perform this?
    Thank you for any help you can give me,

    That method does not secure my laptop wireless settings?
    **No, that secures your router's wireless settings.
    or
    Is this the only method to secure the network?
    With some investigation I can find have found the following:
    If I right click on my Network Icon in my tool bar and then click Connect to Network and then right click on the Network and right click Properties I get a box with the following:
    Tab for connection and a tab for security with pull down bars which can be changed...
    1) Security Types -No Authentication (open), shared, wpa2 personal, wpa personal, wpa2 enterprise, wpa enterprise and 802.1x
    2) Encryption Types -WEP
    Current settings on my laptop Linksys wireless network security is
    Security Type- OPEN
    Encryption- NONE
    sBatch when I perform the WPA on my desktop my laptop must be off or not on the network correct?
    Doesn't matter, once you change the security settings onthe router, you will be prompted for the settings to reconnect to it.
    Has anyone found the LinkSys hyperlink for setting the WRT54GS router as SECURED?
    Define "secured".  Wired, only physical connection have access.
    Wireless, once you add WPA or WEP (WPA is better) it's secured.

  • Adobe pro x crashes when I try to distribute a form.

    I have created a form in adobe pro x. When I try to distribute the form via email to a group of people the system tells me that it has encountered an error with Windows and shuts down. The system allowed me to distribute a couple months ago, but now I get nowhere. I am using a shared drive to house the PDF file and all users have access. I have reloaded Adobe and rebuilt the file, but I continue to get the message. I need help.

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem and found help for it. Go to the "Advanced" menu and select Extend features in Adobe Reader. That will enable rights which may resolve your problem. If that doesn't work, there is a really helpful guy in here, Robert Levine. You may want to ask him directly.
    Good Luck

  • I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro.  How do I do that?

    I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. It is for a book.  The book has been converted to a .pdf for printing, but it needs an Index for the last page of the book.  I tried to embed a new index (starting from scratch but no luck.  Any suggestions?  Thank you for your time.

    Now I want to search this "myArrayStrings.get(r)" in another file. How to do that?Store the returned String. Do the same thing you did to read the first file to read the second file (i.e. read it in line-by-line and store the lines in a list). Then check if that list contains the String you stored from the first list.
    E.g. (using your code):
    String name = myArrayStrings.get(r); // assuming r is initialized somewhere before this
    if ( otherList.contains( name ) ) { // assuming otherList is your second list
        // do something
    }

  • How to make Singleton Class secure

    I have a Singleton class which I instantiate using reflection by a call to a public getInstance method that return the object from a private constructor. I have to use reflection as I dont have any other options since my class instantiation is decided on runtime. How will I secure other form instantiating the same class again by using reflection on my private constructor? Any ideas?

    How much do these different implementations of your singleton have in common? What I'm getting at is, is there some common code you could extract out of them all, and make that a singleton in it's own right? Needing to do this sort of hacking is often a sign you're fudging something together, that could be solved more elegantly. We use the Singleton pattern generally when the state of the object needs to exist exactly once. Can you extract that from the disparate objects?
    The singleton classes that I load do not have anything in common. They are all similar but unique, and independant in their own respect. I will have to decide only on what singleton object I have to load in runtime, based on certain criterion. This is done by reflection, by a call to the public getInstance() method of the respective singleton classes, since I am deciding on runtime. My problem is that can I prevent others from accessing my private constructor from outside the class using reflection, which enables them to create another duplicate object. Can I restrict them to use only my getInstance() method instead?? I know this is hacking to access the private members, but I want to know whether there is any way where I can restrict this hacking???In the above code I dont want these statements to work at any case
    java.lang.reflect.Constructor[] c = cl.getDeclaredConstructors();
    c[0].setAccessible(true);
    A anotherA  = (A) c[0].newInstance(new Object[]{"Duplicate"});

  • How to make it go to a designated page after login

    Hello Experts,
    I have a simple problem but i havent been able to figure it out. I have a simple application that has several public pages and only one "reports" page that requires login.
    When I am in the "reports" page, I click login and after entering my credentials, the application takes me to page 1. (I actually want to to go to page 5 "the reports page")
    I tried creating a branch in the login page so that after the login button is presed that it will take me to the reports page... but it didnt work...
    Any idea how to make it go to the "reports" page and not the default page after I log in?
    Thanks a lot!!

    The login process on the login page contains the following plsql:
    wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
    P_UNAME => v('P101_USERNAME'),
    P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
    P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
    P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':36'
    in this case after login page 36 is started.
    change the number in the desired page.
    Fred.

  • How to make "Submit" features disappear when form is distributed?

    Hi, I am very new at this. I'd like to know how to make the purple header that appears when a form has been distributed go away. This section says "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click Submit Form to return the completed form. Our company has been having problems when people submit these automatically, so we'd like to have them save them as PDFs and submit them as an attachment on an email. We don't want there to be any confusion about this, but I know that the forms have to be distributed so they can fill them out, and this purple header appears after I distribute. What do you suggest?

    You need to be a little more specific as to what is going on with the form. What is the exact issue you are having with the form when it is sent back? If your form is  designer form that is fillable then the header will always be there. It says "Please fill out the following form. If you are a form author, choose DistributeForm in the Forms menu to send it to your recipients."
    If you would like I could take a look at the form to see what you are experiencing. I have been designing forms for a major insurance company for four years and have come across many issues. In ordder to troubleshoot these issues you have to explain exactly what is happening to get at the root cause. It may something as simple as not having the submit button on the form or a little script written that saves the form as a save as.
    Not knowing the exact issue people are not going to be able to give you a fix. It is like taking your car to the mechanic and saying it doesn't work.

  • In ibooks author how to make an existing page start a new section

    I have imported a Pages document into ibook authors (version 2.1.1 in OS 10.9.1) using the Classic Text Template. The original Pages document was basically a book, with title and table of contents and forward and several sections. Now everything is one huge unit. During the import I can choose a layout, but only a chapter or a section. Then all of the document is regarded as having that layout -- every page is regarded as having the section layout, for example, though only the first page has the smaller text area and the large text as a header. I can see all the layout possibilities in the Layouts sidebar, and they include section and forward and 1 column. When I hover the cursor over a particular page the book sidebar I see the little triangle that has been mentioned, and it offers options for changing layout,  but it does not allow me to make that page a new section or a forward. I can only make the page 2 column or put a sidebar on it. I cannot see how I can import the book and be able to create chapters and sections with ibooks author. I can insert a new section layout, or a new page, but I do not see how to  to change a page, after it is imported and is considered to be the text of a chapter or section, into the start of a new chapter or section.  I do not find anything in the inspector or on the menubar or in the help center that makes this change. The "add a chapter title" does not change the layout to make the text box smaller, as it should for a layout.   Is it actually possible to convert a Pages book into an ibook authors book, or must I create the blank chapters and sections in ibook authors and then cut and paste each section from Pages?

    The advice given for  iBA, is to preplan your book. Modify an exsiting template as your layout  suits you,  to present a quality book to your readers. 
    iBooks Author is really more "app"  than a book maker like inDesign or even Pages,  - and users should really  get to know how to use it before starting out on a serious project.
    The insert options are clear - you can insert a Chapter from MS Word or Pages  in iBA  a "chapter" is a distinct "standalone" part of a book which can include sections and pages as required. Sections can  be  moved up or down within their chapter or can be copied from one chapter to another. The pages in any chapter are static and the only way to change content location is copy and paste.
    From your post, its seems you decided to  create you book using Pages and in one chapter expecting iBA to reformat it.
    I would suggest a solution is to count your  chapters and  add that number into an iBA  new book, then  copy your Pages chapters.  I would guess that the whole process would  take less than 30 minutes.
    Apple recieves feedback and suggestions for improvements, however the last update made very few changes to  the application and none of  those seen in many posts - such as being able to move pages. This indicates that Apple at  least,  are satisfied that the version is functional enough for  how Apple see books being made for its store. 12 months ago this  forum was  taking  hundreds of posts  per day asking advice, its now a trickle- which I take to be in indicator that  as a group, iBA users have taught themselves how to use the application and its  many options and third party add on's. iBA is more suited to the interactive side of publications as Apple intended, creating a mainly text only "novel" seems to be considered by Apple as the easy part!
