Can't open password protected PDF files.
As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

Acrobat 8.1 and C# - How can you detect password protected PDF files?
I am modifying our existing C# code that opens PDF files. But when ever we hit a password protected file, we are prompted for a password. This is an automated process, so if we detect a password protected file, we move the file to a manual processing folder to be processed later.
We are using Acrobat 8.1 Standard.
Our code looks like this:
using
System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Linq;
using
System.Text;
using
Acrobat;
using
System.IO;
using
Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using
System.Reflection;
AcroApp app = new AcroApp(); app.Hide();
try
if (app != null) {
app.CloseAllDocs();
AcroAVDoc av = new AcroAVDoc();
if (av.Open(filename, "Test") == true) {
AcroPDDoc doc = new AcroPDDoc(); doc = (
AcroPDDoc)av.GetPDDoc();
doc.Save((
short)Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull,
Utilities.GeneratePath(FileVersion.TEMP) + fi.Name.RemoveFileExtension() + ".PDF"); doc.Close();
catch (Exception ex) {
ErrorLog.LogError(filename.RemoveFileExtension(), ex); }
finally
app.CloseAllDocs();
app.Exit();
This works great for non-password protected PDF files, but it prompts for a password if the file is password protected. I was looking at the FileOpenEX functionality, but I can not find the reference to bring into my C# project. It looks like it is only for C++, since I could only find C++ examples.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TomThere are no methods in the Acrobat SDK for C# for what you wish to accomplish.

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows
I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference. -

Now i am able to create PDF with Digital signature. But We want to assign password protection too..and problem is once we fix Digital signature we can't change security.
My problem is to pass password at the time of opening PDF for embedding signature. Password window should not prompt to the user while running VBA application.
Can you please help me to pass password on fly when file prompt password while opening PDF file. As file need to be opened at the time of fixing signature using sdk javascript code.Correct, you need to encrypt then sign.
Unfortunately, there is no way to pass a password for opening. -
Cannot open password protected .pdf files?
I have an ebook for school that requires a username/password combo to open. It of course opens on my computer, but when I try to open it on my Galaxy III, it says there was an error opening the document. It also will not open with my Galaxy Tab 7.0. I have the most updated versions on both devices.
Can I not open this type of file with Adobe Reader?
Please help!! I need to be able to open this ebook on the go!
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks Michael for your speedy reply. I have been reading on the Adobe site and I figured that much. I buy knitting patterns and crochet patterns at a cost and I download and print them. I 'save them to My Documents', some of the older ones I can bring up and print again but it has been just recently that the new ones will not allow me to view them. I know you can get password breaker software. Do you think it is a good practise to have such software in your computer? Thanks again. JenonDenman.

Unable to open password protected PDF in safari
Dear all, I'm new in using iPhone safari. I have problem in opening password protected PDF file from safari. Do you have any solution or workaround to resolve this problem
Regards
BRYou can put pretty much any character into the encryption password for a PDF file apart from control codes (carriage returns, backspaces, etc), but whether the vendor's website can is another matter!
As you seem to have a PDF with a user password that isn't what you expected, there's nothing you can do to remove it other than perhaps trying a version without the quote characters, or with a backslash in front of the quote (it's possible they escaped the string on the login form in preparation for storing it in a database, and forgot to unescape it again). -
REQUEST: Support for password-protected PDF files and SD-card installation
I would like to request for the features in the topic.
The current version can't open password-protected files hence I still need to download them on a PC before viewing them.
SD-card install is necessary for some devices running on Froyo as they don't have a lot of internal memory.
Thanks in advance.Hi AndrewSV,
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems opening password-protected PDF files, and that the users are being prompted for a password, which shouldn't be required for Viewing and Printing the file.
I have opened up a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=900822 bug for this issue], and our engineers and volunteers will be able to investigate this issue.
Yes, please attach the write-protected PDF as an example, so that they can see what's happening.
Thank you for your help! =)

How can I print a protected pdf file if I know the password in Acrobat Reader 9?
Hi,
I have just received a password protected PDF file (Password isn't for opening the file, but to change security settings like copying, editing etc. only). I have the password for the file, but have no idea as to where I should enter this password in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9?
Someone pls give me the steps to find the password field in Adobe Acrobat reader 9 to enter this password.
Hope I don't need Adobe Acrobat 9.0 for this and reader would suffice?
Thanks in advance.You can change the protection with Adobe Acrobat and the password. Not possible with only Adobe Reader.

Before I buy "numbers" can anyuser advise me from their experiences if I'll be able to open password protected excel files in iphone 4S?
I haven't tried opening any password-protected Office files in Numbers or Pages on my iOS device, but I doubt that it can be done. Neither Numbers or Pages for the Mac can open them so it is extremely unlikely.
