Apply Passwords To PDF Dynamically

Hi All,
I have a query.
I have around 100's of PDF which need to be protected with password depending upon the users data in database.
How do I proceed with this, I had a look at service available for applying password in Adobe LiveCycle ES2 but in that I have to hardcode the password.
How do I automate this.
Please Suggest.
Thanks and Regards--
Chalukya

Maybe post this question in the Automator forum. Think of an Automator workflow as a set of instructions or collection of actions, it doesn't actually do those actions, they are built from existing capabilities of other applications, many of which can be driven by AppleScript or UNIX shell commands with or without user input and customization. Automator just collects all the desired processes together and runs them for you in a repeatable workflow, but relies on those other scriptable apps to actually perform the tasks, more or less.

  • Apply password on pdf form submit to php

    I'm trying to submit a PDF fillable form online that will apply a password after the form has been submitted, then email to me, without the mailto:command.
    Trying to send to a PHPform processor to do the mailto option. Is there a writeup, or plugin for this.
    I've seen an processor.asp do this, but can't find one for php.

    I think I see you want to submit the data to a web server, then have the PDF encrypted on arrival. You can't do this with a plug-in. That's not least because the license for Acrobat doesn't allow it to be used on a server.
    Adobe produce some server products with "LiveCycle" in the name. These are enterprise software, priced accordingly. Perhaps one of these can do that.

  • Convert Excel into Password Protected PDF Files

    Hello Aandi/Lenoard,
    I believe you are the Adobe Forums administrators so I thought you guys are the right people to approach.
    OTHERS ARE ALSO INVITED TO COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC.
    I have C# desktop app which generates Excel files and our goal is to convert these excel files one at a time into password protected PDF files. We use a 3rd party software currently, but I am challenging myself into saying that I can use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK to achieve what is required .
    I have downloaded Acrobat 9.0 SDK and also have Adobe Professional 8.0(trail) in my development machine. Can you firstly tell me if this is possible and secondly what would be required on the client machines to run it?
    THanks,
    Andy

    "Encrypt with Password" is the policy name, not the policy id.
    Did you try enumerating the policy object to see how to set it up? I ran this from the console to get the policy details:
    var policy = security.chooseSecurityPolicy();
    for ( var i in policy )
    console.println(i + ": " + eval("policy." + i));
    That will pop up your list of policies. Choose "Encrypt with Password" and hit Apply, which returned the following:
    policyId: SP_STD_default
    name: Encrypt with Password
    description: This policy will allow you to set an open or modify password on a document.
    handler: Adobe.Standard
    target: document
    Of course, all you really need are the policyId, handler and target. Make sure you read and thoroughly understand the security requirements documented in the API reference for this method as well.

  • How to apply Password Protection On attachment send through mail from SAP

    Hi All,

    Not folder but file (I do hope you understand the difference). Have you tried to search SDN at all? I don't have much time, but before replying initially I did just a quick search and it brought several posts mentioning the archiving functionality. And I'm sure 'Smartform to PDF' will bring up gozillion posts. Also I find the Google search with addition 'site:sap.com' to be quite helpful.
    However, I would still recommend to review the requirements. Why exactly do you need this password protection? If there is a fear that someone other than a recipient might get access to the email account then there is really a bigger security issue in the organization and it should be resolved by some other means. As I have mentioned, password does not really add much protection.
    Out of curiosity I briefly looked at the IRM description on the Microsoft's web site and it doesn't seem to be very helpful. First of all, it's the MS software and has to be installed on the user's PC and configured (how do we know the emai recipients are even on Windows?). Also it does say "Prevent an unauthorized recipient from accessing e-mail content", but I didn't quite get how exactly. Is there a retinal scan that comes with it? And the list of things it does not do gives you the whole another perspective on the email security.

  • Need to recreate a password protected PDF but can't unlock origional

    I have a password protected PDF protfolio that I need to recreate but no longer have the origional password for.  I could just write a new PDF, but so much time was spent creating the origional.  Is there a way to save a copy and then re-apply the password security?

    I want to add that the pdf password unlock programs usually are easier to break the permission password for you to copy, print and edit with corresponding tools. But to crack the open password it's more difficult and if your file is protected by this kind of pdf security, you may have to type word by word from scratch.....

  • Any way to password protect pdf document when emailing?

    Is there any way to password protect an adobe document when emailing like you would a word document?

    Hi bcanino,
    You can apply security to a PDF using Acrobat (apply an Open Document password, a Document Permissions password, or both). For more information, see PDF passwords, protected PDF, file permissions | Adobe Acrobat XI
    I hope that helps.

  • How can I offer individual password protected pdfs on my site.

    I am building a site for a client of mine.  His business is a music talent agency.  He would like that on the page of the individual artist, there be a link to download a pdf that only that artist can download if he/she enters a correct password.  I think from reading other posts that I can simply offer a pdf download link and have that pdf password protected when I initially create the pdf itself in adobe acrobat.  Are there other ways of doing this or is that the best route to go?  All responses appreciated.

    Hi,
    For protecting PDFs, I am afraid you do need Acrobat, and here's how you accomplish applying password protection: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-tips-and-tricks/protecting-your-pdf-using-a-password/
    With this approach, you may have to reassign unique passwords to PDFs and ensure right passwords are communicated to the right people (there is not sign-in option) - that may be a bit of challenge.
    Alternatively, with some basic scripting you could allow right people to download the right PDFs. This will need some mapping at the DB level.
    Or, you could also leverage social media and use the OAuth mechanism to ensure that the users log in via social sites to download PDFs that are unique to them. Look forward to your thoughts.

  • InDesign Data Merge using password protected PDFs?

    I am trying to print postcards with Data Merge and I've run into a problem. The source files for one of the images are password protected PDFs. They all use the same password, and I do know the password, but InDesign wants me to enter the password every time it processes a record.
    If I'm printing 10,000 postcards, I would have to enter the password 10,000 times to make my merged file!
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to enter the password once and, maybe hold down [command + option + control + kitchensink] or whatever, while clicking "OK" to apply that password to all future password dialog boxes? Is there a script I can run that could automatically enter the password?
    The original source PDFs need to keep the password protection, so removing the security en masse isn't an option. Making non-secure copies of all the possible PDFs that could be used seems really unwieldy and would take up a lot of network storage resources, so I really hope there is a more elegant solution out there.
    I'm using CS5 on a Mac and I would LOVE it if anyone has any suggestions at all on how to fix this. Thanks!
    -Cole Hartson

    Your path needs to use a colon instead of a forward slash. Also you might need to add the name of your hard drive before Users.
    The easiest way to get the correct path is to manually place one of the images, then go to the links panel, right-click on the image name and select Copy Info > Copy Platform Style Path.

    Hi Anurodh,
    Just do the following:
    1. Put all the subforms in a single subform your pdf form.
    2. Create another subform to get password from user. On it create a password field and a button.
    3. Now suppose in your pdf the main subform let 'A' contains subforms A1, A2, A3. A3 is password form.
    4. Then write the following code in the form:ready event of the A:
    $.A1.presence =  "hidden"
    $.A2.presence =  "hidden"
    5. Write the following code in the click event of the button on the subform for password i.e. A3.
    if( PasswordField1.rawValue == "password" )
    then
    A.A1.presence = "visible"
    A.A2.presence = "visible"
    $.parent.presence = "hidden"
    else
    $host.messageBox("Wrong Password!!!!!")
    endif
    Hope it will help to create a password protected pdf form.

  • With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

    With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
    I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
    My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
    How to correct that
    Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

    I've had the same problem. This solved it...
    Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).

  • Password Protected PDF Files in Elementary OS

    I have installed Acrobat 9.5.5 on my Elementary OS (Ubuntu base) system but when I try to open a password protected PDF file from my bank Acrobat fails with the error "There was an error opening this document. An updated version of Acrobat is needed in order to open this document.".
    The version that I have installed claims to be 9.5.5 04/26/2013.
    Has anyone got any pointers?
    Thanks

    Well,  first, you probably don't have Acrobat 9.5.5 installed on Ubuntu unless you are running a VM image or using WINE to do so.  You are probably using Adobe Reader 9.x.  If a file was encrypted for Acrobat X and later then you do actually need Adobe Reader version 10.x or later.  Unfortunately there isn't a version 10.x for UNIX/LINUX.  What to do?  Use a VM or WINE and load it up that way.  If you really are running Acrobat 9.5.5 on Ubuntu via a VM image or WINE then you need to load Adobe Reader 10.x or Adobe Reader 11.x.
