Adobe reader will not let me password protect. Security does not have options to change. Please help.

I am trying to password protect my pdf files and I do not have any security options.  Can you please help?

Reader cannot change security. For that you would need Adobe Acrobat.

  • I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

    I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 3 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • I just signed up for a subscription to adobe reader paying EUR 24.40. The program does not work, and I can not even go to my personal page .... help ...?

    I just signed up for a subscription to adobe reader paying EUR 24.40.
    The program does not work, and I can not even go to my personal page .... help ...?

    Adobe Reader is free; it does not require a subscription.
    Did you subscribe to an online service like ExportPDF, PDF Pack, ...?
    What exactly does "not work" mean?

  • Apple not recognizing known password.  Iforgot does not send email verification.  Help please.

    Apple not recognizing known password.  Iforgot does not send email verification.  Help please.
    Don't know any other way to put it.  I typed in the correct password.  Now the account is locked.  Iforgot does not send an email verification.  The email is not in the junk mail or anywhere else.  It is typed correctly.  This is frustrating.  I was just trying to update the Ipad Mini.  I wanted to change the ownership to my husband and noticed that my daughter attached a new Icloud account.  I was just trying to verify her account.  I have the correct password.  Now the account is locked out.

    I figured it out.  It's a little confusing.  I was trying to add a new email address for iCloud and I was supposed to type in the main iCloud user ID and password.  The wording is not helpful because it displays the name of the new email address.

  • Can the adobe reader mobile app open standard password protected AES256 encrypted files (not Livecycle) made by Acrobat XI?

    I downloaded the adobe mobile reader for iOS just now and tried opening a pdf file created by Acrobat XI and optimized (no errors reported) for web and mobile devices the file was password encrypted  (*not livecycle*) using 256AES, compatibility acrobat X with restrictions allow: none, printing  allowed low rez.
    when acrobat mobile reader launched the pdf it required a password and even with the correct password used for changing security settings failed to open.
    how can people secure pdf's from unauthorized editing their work in Acrobat XI using (Acrobat X compatibility), standard password protection using AES256 bit encryption and open using the adobe mobile reader app ?

    I actually need at least three people to successfully open my free pdf using the Adobe Free acrobat viewer for mobile devices or my client want to remove the access for mobile devices link.
    Can anyone test please the free pdf that it opens on iOS or Android ?

  • Adobe Reader for the BlackBerry PlayBook Showstopping Issue: App does not start

    Hello;
    I would like to report an issue with the Adobe Reader app for the BlackBerry PlayBook which renders the application fully unusable. This issue occurs everytime. This issue has been tested and verified to occur in two distinct BlackBerry PlayBook devices.
    Here is a screenshot stating what version (10.0.3.325) of the Adobe Reader app I have installed:
    This, I understand, is the latest version for my platform. Unfortunately, the application does not start. Attempting to run it results in a blank screen after showing the BlackBerry logo. The blank screen can be seen in the following screenshot:
    It is also strange that the application does not appear in the Application Permissions list, as seen in the following screenshot:
    Is there a fix for this showstopping issue? What steps should I take?

    Same issue here.  Playbook support knows about it, and referred to Adobe.  The Adobe forum has this comment.  Looks like our Playbooks are abandoned as a platform.
    "Mar 4, 2012 7:20 PM
    As the tablet market continues to evolve, we continue to evaluate how to best support the market and where to focus on our resources. Because of this,  Adobe has decided to end its support of the  RIM QNX Playbook devices in March 2012.  This means the ability to create new applications for submission to the RIM store will no longer be possible in Adobe Viewer Builder as well as the ability to rebuild existing targets for new releases of Digital Publishing Suite. Any existing QNX targets will be removed from the manage view inside Viewer Builder".

  • My touch screen isn't working and stopped working after I went running with it. I have restarted it multiple times and restored it on my MacBook. It will still not let me slide it to even look at the phone. Please help ASAP.

    I took my iPhone running today and when I returned I was not able to slide it open or type in my pass code. All buttons are still responding. I have tried restarting it multiple times and even restored it, but the touch screen will not respond to anything. I also cleaned the screen off with a damp cloth. Please help! I WAS able to slide it open in the middle of restoring it but not able to click on any apps. Help! My life is on my iPhone and I am a nurse on call!

  • ITUNES WILL NOT LET ME DOWNOAD IT BECAUSE OF CODE 2738!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

    When I try to upgrade to itunes 7.3 or 7 it said that there was something wrong with the package. It said code 2738 was the problem. PLEASE HELP!!!

    You won't be able to redeem it unless you are here in the UK with a UK billing address on your account - all iTunes gifts (including gift cards) are country-specific.
    Your friend could try resending it to somebody else who is in the UK : Resend iTunes Gifts - Apple Support
    Or, and if they've been charged, they can try contacting iTunes Support to cancel it and get a refund :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

    Hello Emeraldh,
    Sorry to hear about your troubles.
    I think I'm reading two questions, but I'm not sure. 
    Did you want to know how many devices you can have authorized with an Apple ID? 
    Not had any other probs with it - have the 2 laptops, 2 ipods and 1 ipad registered and was told that was ok as 5 was maximum however one of the laptops has now been gotten rid of but I don't know how to check what is and isn't authorised for use..
    Are you using Windows Vista on a Dell, HP, or another Windows (Microsoft) based laptop?  Or are you using a Mac?

  • HT5312 I cannot use my apple id because every time I get into my account with the correct password, it prompts me for security questions which I've forgotten my answers.  It does not let me  reset my security questions even using a rescue email.  Help!!!

    I feel like I'm in an infinite loop.  I have all of the information correct except my security questions -- I set them up quickly and forgot what I answered.  Per the FAQs on Apple's website, I should be able to get a rescue email that allows me to reset the answers to the questions, however all I get is a rescue email to reset my password.  This is my first time trying to use this account and I can't get around the security questions.  Can anyone help me?  I just want to download some music to my mini iPad.
