Applying password security & comment enable to PDF

Hi all,
This is my second discussion reg. the livecycle PDF Generator ES.
First discussion was completed successfully with the help of "Jasmine".
We got a requirement from production team, stating that they will provide the "water marked" pdf.
They wanted back with password security and comment enable pdf.
Is this possible to do it in live cycle.
I check in livecycle they given provision only in PS to PDF not for the direct PDF.

Its rather difficult to explain over the forum, but basically the invokeDDX action takes a map of documents and the DDX file. The key of the map matches with the source values in the DDX. For example, if I have an entry in my DDX like: <PDF source=”doc1.source” /> then I need an entry in my Map with the key doc1.source.
You can either create the map outside of the invokeDDX operation (for example in a setValue) or you can use the operation's property sheet to enter values.
As for the DDX - if you are using ES2, then you can create one using the Document Builder by right clicking on your project and selecting New->Assembly Descriptor.
With earlier versions of the product you can create the DDX in the invokeDDX operation itself.
The following help file may clear things up:

PDF password security rights enabling

Hi all,
We have Reader Extension ES & PDF Generator ES with us.
Throught PDF Generator ES we have already configured password security for PS to PDF.
Is this possible in pdf alone through PDF generator ES.
I have "watermarked" pdf with me I need to incorporate password security right to PDF alone not through PS.

Password Security gets lost in portfolio/Low definition printing

Using Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0.0, I created a portfolio and added two PDF files to it (these files were not themselves password protected).
I then used File / Portfolio Properties / Security to apply password security, Encrypt except metadata, open password, permissions password allowing High Resolution printing and no changes finally allowing copying of text.
After completion, I then saved the file and closed acrobat.
Then clicked on secured file to open acrobat and was correctly asked for the opening password.
I then changed to list view, clicked on a file, Saved file from portfolio and saved it.
Clicked on PDF document (within portfolio) and looked at Portfolio properties and the security settings were still displayed.
Clicked on OPEN button (top right) and the document was opened. Document Properties still show security set.
Closed acrobat completely.
Clicked on saved document from portfolio and was surprised to find no security settings at all. No opening password, no password for changing document, completely open.
This is a major security hole from what I can see.
Another similar problem. If I secure a PDF document with password security as above, yet with low resolution printing. I can then reopen the secured document and print to an Adobe printer driver creating a new unsecured PDF from my secured document.
I cannot believe Adobe could leave two such wide security holes in Acrobat 9 so surely I am missing something here.
Can someone please tell me how to put together a portfolio without these massive security problems.
Regards
John

Assigning security to a portfolio will not assign security to the individual documents.

Remove password security on acrobat 11

hello!
when i try to remove password security from my pdf file , i get this message
anyone knows why?

Hi shay_df,
Yes, the file is Reader enabled, and yes you have to create an unsigned copy of the file before you can remove the Password Security.
Open 1244.pdf
Type in the Document Open password (111111) and then click the OK button
Select the File > Save a Copy menu item
Click the Save a Copy button on the conformation dialog
Enter 1244_noUR.pdf as the File Name on the Save a Copy dialog, and then click the Save button
Type in the Document Open password (111111) and then click the OK button
Select the File > Open menu item
Navigate to, and then select the local copy of 1244_noUR.pdf, and then click the Open button
Type in the Document Open password (111111) and then click the OK button
Select the File > Properties (or File > Document Properties in an older version of Acrobat) menu item
Select the Security tab on the Document Properties dialog
Select No Security from the Security Method drop-down list
Click the OK button on the conformation dialog
Select the File > Save menu item

Problems with comments-enabled PDF: I can't see my client's comments

Hello,
I really hope somebody can help me.
THE SITUATION: I have a comments-enabled PDF. The comments repository is located on my externally hosted webdav server. Both my client and I have local copies of the PDF, and up until today, my client was able to post comments on the PDF.
THE PROBLEM:
- Today, my client suddenly noticed that the review had "expired" and she can't post her comments.
- I am able to see and post my own comments in the PDF, but I can't see my client's comments in the PDF.
- My client can see her own comments. (I don't know if she can see mine.)
- If I log into my webdav site with FTP, I can see my client's XML file which contains all her comments. I can also see my own XML file which contains my comments, and it is indeed updating each time I add a new comment.
I thought it would be possible to import the XML file containing all her comments into the PDF. However XML is not a format that Acrobat allows you to import!!! It only will accept FDF, XFDF, or PDF!
Phone tech support was spectacularly unhelpful. I seriously doubt "Nelson" from Bombay has ever used Acrobat in his life. He asked me to send the file to him, which I did, but I haven't heard back.
So my question is:
1) How can I get my Acrobat file to view the comments which are sitting on the comments server in an xml file? Why would it see mine but ignore hers?
2) If I can't get the comments to show up, then can I at least import my client's comments, which are currently sitting in an XML file, into my PDF?
bonus question: Why is there so little documentation about dealing with webdav comments repositories? Is it considered better to use acrobat.com instead of our own webdav server or something?
This is Acrobat 9.1.0 Pro for Leopard.

Thanks for your reply, Steve. Yes, she did say that there was an end date, but when I go there, I don't see one. Baffling.
I have decided to go over to her office, create an archive of her PDF, then try to pull those comments into a new PDF.
This is a GIANT PAIN. And egg in my face, after I've sold this client on the ease and convenience of a PDF workflow!
So is there any way to get xml comments back into a PDF???

Saving a PDF in Acrobat 9 with comments enabled for viewer

Hi,
Is there a quicker way to enable comments for Reader than actually having to choose to do so? I have maybe 30-40 files saved as a PDF but they do not have comments enabled so I have to open each one and click on enable comments for Reader. That takes a lot of time and sometime you can make a mistake.
Any work around? A macro?
Thanks!
Luke

Ha ha ha.
I saw that and, of course, my company would never get into this but I wanted to thank you for your response.

How to get crop tool in comment enabled pdf file?

Hi,
I want to place comments in pdf file using Reader 9. So i opened the pdf file in acrobat 8 and did 'Enable for commenting in Adobe Reader' so that i place the comments in Reader. I need all advanced editing tools. But when i comment enabled Crop tool will disappear. How can i enable crop tool in comment enable pdf?
Thanks in advance...

You can't. By enabling commenting, you're adding certain usage rights to the document. In order for those usage rights to be preserved, certain types of changes (most) need to be prevented. If such changes were allowed (and actually made), the usage rights would be invalid and Reader would no longer be able to add comments to the file. So you can enable commenting in Reader, or allow for other changes in Acrobat, but not both with the same file.

PDF password security greyed out while saving a PDF MP Navigator

Hello,
I am unable to set a password for pdf's that I scan with MP Navigator. I have been doing it for years, but now it has greyed out. It is not selectable. I recently upgraded my mobo and did a clean reinstall. The problem occurred before the upgrade and now remains despite full reinstalls of everything. The preferences button provides no way to turn passwords on or off. The Set... button shows password security also greyed out.
Win 7 Home premium 64 bit, 8GB, 250GB SSD root drive, Core i7. MP navigator EX 5.1. Pixma MP 895.
Thanks,

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

PDF Not So Secure!?! Software available to modify or remove privilege password security!?!

Hi, I have searched on the web and have encountered an disturbing new.
This site explains the flaw with PDF security:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Adobe/Gallery/PDFsecurity.pdf
The following site claims that they can remove password security embeded in PDF files that prevents people from modifying or copying information within seconds:
http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html
Is it still true for the latest version of Acrobat Professional?
If it is true, I think there is nothing protecting my intellectual property.
Is there some other ways I can make sure that they can only view, print, but not modify or copy the contents in my PDF files?
Adobe staffs, please take a look at this closely.

Did you see the warning that you get when setting security in Acrobat?
In Acrobat 8, "All Adobe products enforce the restrictions set by the
Permissions Password. However, not all third party products fully
support and respect these settings. Recipients using such third-party
products might be able to bypass some of the restrictions you set".
So, while disturbing, this isn't really news.
But in any case, Acrobat's password security does nothing really to
protect you from copying. Any file can be copied or shared. If you
want to protect your intellectual property, you have to enter the
controversial and often expensive world of DRM.

Bug in applying read only security status to a PDF portfolio?

Hi,
A quick question about setting up a pdf portfolio as 'read only', so users cannot save amended versions of the document within the portfolio, they can only go to 'save as'.
I have set this up, using Adobe Professional 9, using the following process = File > Portfolio Properties > Security tab and then selecting 'Password Security' (setting a password) and then setting the permission from 'Allow Changes' to 'None'.
My colleague, who has Adobe X, can go into the portfolio, without knowing/entering any password and change documents. If she exits individual documents whilst still in the portfolio, and goes back into them, she can still see her changes (although when she exits her Adobe software completely and goes back into it, opening the portfolio, these changes have not been saved).
Can anyone tell me why this happens, and how to stop it, so she can't even get to saving it within the portfolio in the first place? Or is it something that has to be set up on Adobe X, rather than Adobe 9?
Thanks all!

PDF files in the Portfoloio are treated as simple attachments. To Acrobat, a PDF attachment is basically the same as a Word or image file. When you open the attachment, the Portfolio just opens the corresponding application. If the file gets modified by that application and the Portfolio security is set to not allow changes, anything done in the external application is ignored.
The best way to prevent this is to set security on the files prior to adding them to the Portfolio, this will prevent users from getting the idea that they can modify the contents. Then secure the Portfolio itself.

Comment Enabled PDF problem

Hi all,
We have a huge design jobs which was done in Indesign, Pdf's which we have creted from Indesign will be comment enabled and send it to client for commenting purpose.
Client Message:
Acrobat would freeze up when working with certain documents that have a water mark. I just wanted to note that I am currently working on CL_VanDerbeck, chapter 4, and it has been happening repeatedly. I have attached the file for reference.
We have open the file at our end and tried to add comments on the watermark part as they mentioned, there were no issues at our end. We are able to add comments on the watermark and other areas.
What will be the problem since this question was raised by our customer second time. Is anyone came across these type of issue.
Kavya

Give them three more copies of the file. One with no comments or watermark. One with comments, but no watermark, one with watermark and no comments. Do they have problems with all three?

PDFs with password security will not open on Blackberry tablet

I'm a designer, pretty clued with everything Mac based. I put password security on PDFs sent out to clients to restrict editing, theft of images, maps, high resolution printing etc.
However, they won't open on Blackberry tablets, if they do, they show as blank, grey pages. The same PDFs without secuity will open. Client tells me he is using up to date Adobe Reader. To be clear, I do not create a password requirement for opening the PDFs, just to restrict editing etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've had this same exact problem quite often ever since the update to version 7.6.2.9 on Windows Vista Home Premium. The only solution I have found is to go into Task Manager and find the two I-Tunes processes that are running and END those two processes. I don't know what other problems doing this could cause and it is VERY annoying! It might be a good idea to reboot after fixing it. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Maybe this Apple's way of punishing me for not installing Safari

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.

Password secured PDF forms

Can password secured PDF forms be filled out on mobile devices?
I've tried it on my iPhone and it doesn't appear that I can fill out the form. Wondering if it's just me or if other people are also not able to fill out secured PDF forms on mobile devices.

You can remove the security using Acrobat (not Reader) then use ExportPDF.
