Can a password be dynamically entered into a PDF upon opening?

Here is the goal I am trying to accomplish:
1. I need to upload an existing pdf via webpage form and have my webserver/script apply a password to the file upon saving it a directory on my website.
2. When a user clicks on a hyperlink to view the uploaded pdf I want my webserver to enter in the password so that it can be viewed by the visitor without them knowing what the password is.  I want to use this method to prevent diversion of the document's content.  If the visitor saves the pdf they will not have the password thereby diversion will be prevented.
Is this possible?

It's not even possible with LiveCycle - there is no way to "inject" any password credentials into Acrobat or Reader from a remote server unless you were to write a custom plugin - which given the costs and complexities of working in Protected Mode that's not likely to be realistic unless you're dealing with tens of thousands of fee-paying users.
With certificate security you can tie a PDF to a user's pre-existing digital ID, but they must of course have one to start with, and send you their public key in advance and as you cannot use Acrobat on a server, implementing it would involve significant costs to licence the PDF libraries required.
Using LiveCycle you can tie a PDF to the login credentials of a user on your LiveCycle server, so only they can open the file - however there's no way to tell the person using the login is actually the person assigned to it and LiveCycle is an enterprise product - it's expensive to purchase and you'd have to manage all the user accounts.

  • Today's date dynamically entered into text field that user enters additional text into same field.

    Trying to have today's date dynamically entered into a repeating table row textfield when the button is clicked to create each repeating row. The user can then enter addtional text into the same text field next to the date.
    Example:
    [4/25/2012] This is the text the user entered.
    Today's date is populated in each update row created when the "Update Row" button is clicked.
    The following script works but only for the first instance, not the second, third, forth, etc...
    Click event: (JavaScript, client)
    this.resolveNode('Table2._RowB').addInstance(1);
    xfa.resolveNode("Table2.RowB.#subform.Update").rawValue

  • What does mean You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form?

    Hi guys,
    If you check the official documentation for Smart forms in the Internet you will read that the initial pharagraphs of the text tell you "Tables - You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form. Dynamic tables enable you to display tables whose size is determined only at the moment of their output by the number of the table items to be displayed". The link is the following: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
    I was wondering if this means that I can use field symbols with dynamical number of columns to print a smart form. Because it would be great since the customer wanted a dynamical report depending on the week day it was (If Monday, there was only 12 columns, but if Friday, it will be 52 columns (1 column more for every day elapsed in the current week)). I had to create 5 different forms, but I think using field symbols I had spent less effort. Do you know if it is really possible? If not, then what does mean "You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form"?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi ,
    The concept of static and dynamic tables in smartforms, means you can use template- ( static table as no of rows and columns is fixed). Also you can use table- dynamic as the no of rows will depend on your line items.
    Hope this will help you to close this thread.
    Also, try to find this answer in posted forums. Creating a new forum everytime just increases the network traffic. So please try to avoid it.

  • Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page?

    Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page? For example: scanned newspaper article was too big for one scan process, I had to scan article 3 times. Can I merge these 3 jpegs and position them like columns?

    Do you have Acrobat? If so, you can use the Add Image tool to place your images on the page where you want them to be. Alternatively, you can combine all 3 to a single PDF and then send that PDF to the PDF Printer, selecting the Multiple option to get them to appear on a single page of the new file.

    Hi there,
    There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
    1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
    2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
    3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
    4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
    5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
    6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
    7. Select the  file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share  from the file context menu.
    8. Select Allow Anyone With A  Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then  click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is  copied onto the clipboard.
    9. Open the HTML file and paste  the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type  that you can convert to PDF.
    Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

  • Can I Package a SWF+XML into a PDF Container?

    I've got a SWF that I've built in Flash Builder that reads an external, local XML file. I'd like to create an external process that effectively packages the \bin-release folder into a single PDF that would then play the animation which is reading the also packaged XML file. Ideally, I could have an external process that would modify the contents of the XML, package it up with the SWF into a PDF, and then export the final PDF output as a single file.
    Effectively, I'm trying to mimic a feature found in our Business Intelligence software which does exactly what I'm describing (see the first bullet of page 4 of this document).
    My plan is to have a separate source system generate the XML on demand, and then trigger whatever process needs to package it up with the static SWF and produce the final PDF output. I'm open to using anything, even if it's just calling some command line utility (I assumed Adobe had one but I can't find one).
    This is different from printing to PDF, because the SWF will need to play inside the PDF. This ability was added in Acrobat 9.
    Any ideas or leads would be helpful, thank you for your time.

Acording to the features of InDesign this should be working correct? Please let me know if this is possible or not. Thank you!

    That will work in DPS, but not, AFAIK, in PDF.
