Authenticate secure PDF

I have installed Adobe Acrobat 9 on Fedora 14 and I am trying to open a secured PDF that requires a ID and PWD. When I click 'unlock' I get the Message: "AN error occured during the submit process. Cannot process response due to unknown content type."
What is going on and how do I fix it?

It does not open from with in firefox. When I attemptthat it just prompts to download it from my hard drive to my hard drive. This is not a PDF that I can share because it is not one that I created. It is an E-book for an online class I am taking on an Introduction to Unix. I had read about an issue earlier today of someone having a simmilar problem and they were told to rever their acrobat reader back to version 7. Reader 7 does not seem to be available anymore. However, the document does unlock in Window but not in Linux. While in Windows whith the document unlocked I did manage to get the document to print out with MS XPS document writer and then print it back into PDF using Cute PDF writer from within Windows. Now I have PDF versions of my E-books (Unsecured) that I need for my class that can be opened from within Linux.

  • Highlighting text & adding notes to a secured pdf

    Hi,
    I have a secured pdf (locked for edit) which is fine by me, but why can't I highlight the text or add notes to that PDF?
    Am i missing something? I am not altering the text or anything, just highlighting it...
    Other application, as well as the Windows 8 reader do allow it!
    I am using Adobe PDF reader touch for Windows 8.
    Thanks

    We bought a PDF book from the site that you mentioned and inspected the document restrictions.  The PDF book is encrypted.
    Currently, Adobe Reader Touch does not support any changes to encrypted PDF documents, even if the document permissions allow "Changing the document" or "Commenting".
    We hope to offer the capability of making changes to encrypted PDF in a future release.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Adobe Reader Crashes while opening Secure PDF Documents

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Up until today, i was able to open secure PDF documents without any issue. Suddenly, it started to give me errors, saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I have to tell Microsoft" and so on...
    I tried re-installing 8.1.0, secure documents opened a few times and then the same problem returned. I can open normal PDF documents but the problem is with the secure ones.
    Rebooting, re-installing again didn't help.
    What could be the issue and how to solve it? I have Trend Micro Antivirus s/w but i always had them all these days and everything was fine.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Can someone help me on this please?
    I have tried removing Adobe Reader, re-install it but doesn't help. Secure documents do open sometimes but fail again. I have even tried removing Adobe Reader using MSI Cleanup Utility, no use.
    The problem seems to be in the imapdb.dll. An error report is generated by Windows XP but it is rather large to fit in here.
    I also Trend Micro Anti-Virus tool and it may have something to do with it is what i feel.
    Any help on how to solve this will be great.
    Thanks

    The best way is to apply a digital signature to the file. Any other way can

  • Problems with secure PDFs in Preview

    I recently saved and secured a PDF with Adobe Acrobat 9. While the document is secure when I open it with Adobe Acrobat or Reader, there is no security when I open up the same document with Preview... So much for the 256 bit encryption...
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thanks,

    Wow! So much for all the money Adobe put into securing PDFs...
    Thanks for your help.

  • How do I extract pages from a Secured PDF file

    How do I extract pages from a Secured PDF file?

    Adobe would call that hacking, and don't allow discussion of it in this forum. You should contact the copyright holder and see if they are prepared to release the password, or an unsecured document, to you. If it's something made for you like a bank statement you should tell the bank how inconvenient their choices are.

  • Can I apply electronic signatures to secured PDF's and hide them?

    Hello,
    I currently have our product datasheets on secured PDF's (approximately 40,000 of them). We post these datasheets directly onto our website.
    What I am looking to do is to have 3 people electronically sign-off on each of these datasheets, before they are posted on our website -- however I do not want these signatures visible to the public.
    Thus, can I use electronic signatures with secured PDF's? And can I hide these signatures?
    Also, I have watched some of Adobe's videos as it pertains to group editing. Do you have any recommendations for more resources regarding this? How would I make sure that "Jim" doesn't sign something with "John"'s name?

    When they cannot be opened I forget what it says.  That's not much help I know.  File not found or something like that.  I can open an attachment from an e-mail see it, then save it to my computer and e-mail it to someone and they won't be able to read it. I will go back and check on it and sure enough I can't open it again. Frustrating.
    TWINUI is the name of the reader that came with Windows 8 on my Surface Pro3.

  • How to optimize a secure PDF?

    I want to put a password security on a PDF document and optimize it to be backwards-compatible to Acrobat 5.0, but am having problems.
    I can't optimize unless I first save the file.
    But after saving the secured PDF, it won't let me optimize. It tells me if I want to change it, I have to remove the security settings.
    First I create the security settings, which won't take take effect until after I save. But it saves compatible to Acrobat 7.0.
    I even tried after setting the security, to do a "Save as" with the optimized option, but it won't let me do that either.
    Any suggestions?
    I have Acrobat Pro version 8. Why does it automatically save to Acrobat version 7.0? Is there a way to change the default saving option? I can't find that preference anywhere.

    OK. Got it.
    I had the "Run command on" "files open in Acrobat" so all the Output options were grayed out.
    I changed it to "Ask..." instead, and that enabled the Output Options.
    Several more steps required for the "Ask..." option, but at least I can get what I want.
    Thanks.

  • Compare two secured PDF documents

    Hi,
    I am using a licensed version of Adobe acrobat 11.0 professional. I have a requirement of comparing two secured PDF documents (which have the lock symbol displayed). But, the 'compare documents' option does not allow comparing two Secured PDFs. It gives a message 'This operation is not permitted'. Is there a way I can compare them ?
    Earlier, I was using the version 5.0 in which we can compare secured documents without any problem.

    Actually, its asking for a password when i tried to do that. So, is there a way to do it through the acrobat 11.0 tool itself ? (This feature of comparing secured documents was present in the versions 5.0 & 6.0. But, in later versions, it was removed)

  • Permission options in Secure PDF

    Hello,
    I have created an application to create secure pdf (Encrypted PDF). I need to test whether the permission option generated for the pdf are correct or not.
    How do I test that? Is there any reference document or test report which gives information about that?
    For example if the resulting permisson value is say -3372 what should be the value of options in the "Document Restrictions Summary" and "Document security".
    Which should be the software used to verify the permission option? In Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 9.0 the options are different. So is the case with Acrobat reader.
    Thanks in advance.
    Abhilash

    The PDF Reference/ISO 32000-1 defines what the values means - that's authoritative.  Just compare the values in your file with the values in the standard.
    You can, of course, choose to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to see what they report in their UI - but that's not always a direct match to the file format.

  • Secure PDF using certificate

    Hi All,
    I'm developing a secure PDF using certificate.
    When I open the PDF I get acrobat security saying " A digital ID was used to encrypt this document but no digital ID is present to decrypt it.Make sure your digital ID is properly installed or contact the document author. "
    Any help in resolving this issue is appreciated?

    I have the exact same problem with the following exception:
    I encrypted a portfolio with a public key for a committee, including myself, using our public keys to allow just us to be able to open the portfolio. This worked as it should with Acrobat 9.4.1 and Reader 9.4.1.
    When I updated to Adobe Reader X, I got the infamous
    "Acrobat Security
    A digital ID was used to encrypt this document but no digital ID is present to decrypt it. Make sure your digital ID is properly installed or contact the document author" message.
    On this same computer I can open the portfolio with Acrobat 9.4.1 and it doesn't prompt me for a password. When I open the same portfolio with Adobe Reader X, it asks for the password and gives the message.
    When I upgraded to Reader X, I completely  removed Reader 9 prior to loading Reader X. After a successful upgrade, I set my preferences to match what I had with Reader 9. Next, I re-established my security settings as follows:
    1) Edit>Protection>Security Settings - then set the same private key as before, and
    2) Edit>Protection>Manage Trusted Identities - then set the same public keys as before.
    It should have worked, right?
