Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard?  No one seems to have answered this question in the trending questions.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat because it was recommended to password protect files.
However, when I checked out the Tools > Protection > Encrypt>  "Encrypt with Password" is greyed out.
Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard?
The OS version is Windows 7.

Thanks.

Yes, it can.  Use File > Properties, and click the Security tab. Click Change, and set what you need. When the file is saved, the security is set.
BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE TOO.

    Hi meganl52100253,
    With Acrobat X, you can save to Word and Excel format by choosing File > Save As. But saving to PowerPoint wasn't introduced until Acrobat XI.
    You're welcome to try Acrobat if you'd like. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

  • Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
    Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
    I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
    I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
    Can someone help me with this.
    Thanks,

    In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.
    Hope this help you

  • How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

    How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. (I selected 'Fit to scale' and there's a huge gap on the top and bottom).

    Those margins are usually reported from the printer settings to Acrobat. Meansif you have, for example, an inkjet printer and that printer can not print seamlessly, then there will be a minimum margin.
    Check your printer's page settings.

  • Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software.

    Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software. I am trying to move my Adobe to a new laptop.

    Actually, you are out of luck if you are looking for Acrobat Standard. I have run into a problem because the link is for Adobe 9.0 Pro and the serial no. for Std. won't work. I asked Adobe customer (chat) service for a downloadable of the Standard and they said they don't have one. Did you get the Std. version as part of the preinstalled software on your computer? If so, it would be on the recovery media of your old laptop but I don't know how you would retrieve it from there. I am in the exact same boat as you are. Let me know if you find out how to get the media for the Standard by responding on this thread. Thanks.

    Hi marisaz96078795,
    Yes, You would have to purchase the latest version of Acrobat. Acrobat has evolved over the time, and i am sure you will love using our Latest version.
    You can view the feature list page of Acrobat XI Pro and buy it from this Link : Features, PDF documents | Acrobat XI Pro

  • How can I use Adobe Acrobat X Standard to print multiple documents on Lexis Nexis File & Serve?

    I am unable to print multiple documents on the Lexis Nexis File & Serve legal website that used their Batch Document Processor software. The technicians there told me that Adobe Acrobat X Standard has an incompatibility with their Batch Document Processor software. I never had a problem with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and the Batch Document Processor program at the Lexis Nexis File & Serve website. I am now running Windows 7 Professional SP1. Before, we were running Windows XP Professional SP3 with the IE 8.0 browser. We now are running the IE 9.0 browser.

    The answer is in the question...
    Only the Pro version of Acrobat is capable of batch processing files (which
    I assume the Lexis Nexis tool uses). Until now you had Acrobat Pro, and now
    you have Acrobat Standard, and therefore you can't use it anymore. You need
    to upgrade to Acrobat Pro.

  • Invalid redemption code - can't get my serial number for Adobe Acrobate XI Standard

    I keep receiving a message, "The code you entered in invalid." for my redemption code.  I used the number one and the small l and a zero and a capital O in my redeption number and still get the same message.  How do I get the serial number so that I can download my Adobe Acrobat XI Standard program that I purchased from Best Buy today?

  • When i select a pdf file for download in a webpage instead of automatically downloading the file and opening it using adobe acrobat I get a new blank window in the browser and it says done in the bottom left corner

    when I select a pdf file within a webpage and click to download instead of getting the "download" window and the file automatically opening after download using adobe reader I get a blank webpage (in the same tab) and in the bottom left corner it says"done". No file is downloaded and if I click "back" I just return to the webpage containing the link.

    Aha!  The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat.  This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list. 
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37:  nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37.  This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder. 
    Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218:  nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50. 
    As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat.  Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current.  Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying  upgrades or newer versions. 

  • Can I create a page border using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    I'm making a certificate of completion and would like to create a page border.  Is there any way to do this is Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If what you want to do is scale a page down to a smaller size, Acrobat doesn't do that, not directly anyway. I think there are plugins for Acrobat that can do this.
    if you're desperate and/or don't want to go to that expense, there is a hack available in Acrobat that can get you there. If you've added other interactive elements (links, bookmarks, etc.), you'd have to recreate them. Post again, preferably in a new topic (since it doesn't apply to this one), for more info.

  • How can I make a squiggly line in Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Or edit a straight line with a squiggly line style (or import new line styles)
    Thanks!

    If it does not need to be neat, just use the pencil tool. The only other option would be to check the properties of a line you make and see if there is a format option, I don't remember seeing one.

    Hi Martin,
    Was it working fine for you before?
    Is Acrobat updated to the latest version 11.0.10?

  • Cannot create pdfs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended today like I have for years.  Any suggestions/

    ?

    That did the trick.  I went through this process when I upgraded, but
    overwriting the old driver must have glitched somewhere.  I hope all my
    troubles are this simple.
    Thanks again.
