Can I allow commenting on a password-protected document?

I'd like to publish a book online and so want to at least password-protect it.    From what I have read, this precludes "Enable For Commenting".
Is there a way to publish a password-protected document but have the users still be allowed to attach comments of their own (for their own use) ?
Thanks,
-Ed

As soon as I enable commenting, the "encrypt with password" option is greyed-out so I cannot perform that action any more. Is there another way to encrypt it once comments have been anabled?
I am using Acrobat Pro Version 9.2.0 on a Windows 7 machine.   I open a PDF with it, selectComments > Enable for COMmenting and Analisys.    Then Advanced > Security > Encrypt With Password is greyed out (was not prior to enable comments).

  • Can't password protect documents

    A year ago I bought a  license for Adobe Acrobat Standard which included access to certain features including the ability to password protect documents.  Suddenly it has stopped working.  I have already re-downloaded my product version and that has not solved the problem and can find nothing online to help.  Any suggestions or solutions will be appreciated.

    This is the forum for the free Reader software. If you are sure you are using Acrobat and not Reader, you'll want to visit the Acrobat forum for help.

    It was tricky sorting out the actual questions in your post. I think the other poster has one question in hand, here's the other:

  • Can anyone inform me how to password protect iphone on boot/startup

    Hi,
    Can anyone inform me how to password protect iphone on boot/startup like a normal phone/smartphone. Im not talking about the passcode lock feature.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I'm not sure what you are looking for, Joe. The passcode lock code is also required when restarting the phone after turning it off, and when rebooting after a reset procedure.

  • Adobe Reader not recognizing the (correct) password on a password protected document

    I have been opening password protected documents with Adobe Reader for months. My client just changed the password, and now, using the correct new password (I'm positive it's the correct password because I can open it on other computers, and no, my caps lock isn't on, and I've tried numerous times so it's not that I'm typing it incorrectly), Adobe is saying that the password is incorrect. Any ideas? I was thinking perhaps because I am on a Mac, or maybe because I have Adobe Reader and not the full version it isn't working... any help much appreciated!

    Reader should be fine. you don't need to full version to open password protected documents and a Mac doesn't make any difference either.
    Fist thing to be sure of is that it's actually Reader opening the docs and not Mac Preview (or something else).
    If it is, maybe try having them assign a different password. A more simplistic one just to see if you can open it.

  • How do I recover the hint for a password protected document

    How can I find the "hint" for password in a password protected document?

    To my knowledge, there is no provision for access to a password hint in a Pages document. That's why you keep a separate, but secure offline document with your document name and password right? Otherwise, you have joined the ranks of those that are simply out of luck, after forgettting their document password.

    Hi noswam123,
    If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.
    Best,

  • Password protecting documents?

    Note: If this is in the wrong section I do apologise, I wasn't sure where to put it so opted to take it to the hardware section.
    In a nutshell, is there a way to password protect documents or folders? I'm working on an iMac G4 and I was wondering if there was some way to do this or whether it was possible at all.
    Thanks!

    Hello Lynn-Marie:
    There is freeware/shareware that will protect files/documents. Try a Google search and see what appears.
    The only program I ever used was "secret folder" from Apimac:

  • Key for Microsoft office in password protected document

    I bought a used Mac. The apple certified store navigated my old drive to the new machine. Now office wants the key. I save the key in a password protected document in Word so the old select the document hit the space bar doesn't work. Any ideas?

    I think you need a different company's forum:
    Office for Mac forums
    Not a lot of Office users reporting in here, whereas the MS forum I linked is very active and you may get help directly from an MS Mac Business Unit employee. Great place for Office issues.

  • How can I allow commenting in a certified document/

    In Acrobat Pro 9, I created a certified document by selecting "Certify with out Visible Signature." I tried all three settings in "Permitted Changes after Certifying" but my PDF still does not allow commenting in Reader. The PDF allowed commenting before I certified it---how can I enable commenting after certification?

    Tags are independent of PDF page content. Removing/deleting a page or page(s) does not remove anything in the PDF's structure tree.
    As Full Check is looking at the structure tree the report reflects what is present there.
    In the Tags panel walk the structure tree to locate the Table tags. Delete these.
    Be well...

  • Password protected document created in Acrobat XI (Mac) can't be opened by Reader XI (Windows)

    I have a document that I created and password protected using Acrobat 11.0.2 (Mac).
    I can open it with the same password using Reader 11.0.2 (Mac) but not Reader 11.0.2 (Windows).  On Windows I get an "invalid password" message.
    Anyone else found this?

    I can tell you in my testing that my results were consistent regardless of whether I typed the hyphen at the keyboard or pasted it in from a text document.
    So, that still leaves us with "is this a bug?" or "is it a prohibited character?"
    Obviously, in these days of concern over password strength, it is important to understand the range of available character set, so we can select effective (and legal) characters and not have to deal with the trial-and-error of trying to learn which characters to avoid.
    I am also still confused as to why the exact same password, entered in the exact same manner succeeds on one platform and not another.  Unless the input dialog is silently converting the character (which I think could only be diagnosed with a debugger), results should be consistent.  After all, the "P" in PDF does stand for "Portable".
    Do you have the resources to try and reproduce my test case?  I would be curious to know if the problem occurs both ways or just Mac->Windows.

  • I can't open number files with password protection?

    I am using OSX 10.9.4 with Numbers 3.2.2 (1878) and have one file which is password protected. While opening the file with Numbers, it prompts for the password after correct entry I receive the friendly message: "xxx" can't be opened.  That's it.
    Any solution out there?
    Thanks, Hansjoerg

    Your observation seems to be right because it was not the first time I recognized this effect. However, it is bitter to see that professional SW like Numbers can't hangle this option (password protection) correctly. It might have to do with the fact that the data file from Numbers is actually not a single file but a container with lost of files an subdirectories. Why the **** they make it so complex?
    Anyway, many thanks for your hint. I hope to find a tool which can correct those corrupted Number-files.

  • Can the default image for a password protected album be changed?

    Apologies in advance if this question has already been asked. I have created a number of photo albums to my web gallery and password protected each of them. When I navigate to the main web gallery page however, each of the galleries appear as a black and white graphic of two photos. Is there any way to change this to something else?
    Also, is there a way to send out an invitation to view the gallery as a whole and therefore let people view the albums they want? I just really love the invite card that is created when the album is published from iPhoto.
    Many thanks in advance.
