Combining a password secured pdf

I am looking for a way to allow a password protected pdf to be combined with other files into a single pdf. I'm looking at the Document Restrictions Summary in the Document Properties and seeing "Changing the Document: Not Allowed," and "Document Assembly: Not Allowed." I'd like to allow Document Assembly without allowing Changing the Document. If there is no way to do this, then why would there be two different permissions shown in the properties?

Don't think it is possible. Document assembly is a change in the document. Why not simply turn off the security, combine the files, then reapply the security if needed.

Password secured PDF forms

Can password secured PDF forms be filled out on mobile devices?
I've tried it on my iPhone and it doesn't appear that I can fill out the form. Wondering if it's just me or if other people are also not able to fill out secured PDF forms on mobile devices.

You can remove the security using Acrobat (not Reader) then use ExportPDF.

PDF password security greyed out while saving a PDF MP Navigator

Hello,
I am unable to set a password for pdf's that I scan with MP Navigator. I have been doing it for years, but now it has greyed out. It is not selectable. I recently upgraded my mobo and did a clean reinstall. The problem occurred before the upgrade and now remains despite full reinstalls of everything. The preferences button provides no way to turn passwords on or off. The Set... button shows password security also greyed out.
Win 7 Home premium 64 bit, 8GB, 250GB SSD root drive, Core i7. MP navigator EX 5.1. Pixma MP 895.
Thanks,

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

PDF Not So Secure!?! Software available to modify or remove privilege password security!?!

Hi, I have searched on the web and have encountered an disturbing new.
This site explains the flaw with PDF security:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Adobe/Gallery/PDFsecurity.pdf
The following site claims that they can remove password security embeded in PDF files that prevents people from modifying or copying information within seconds:
http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html
Is it still true for the latest version of Acrobat Professional?
If it is true, I think there is nothing protecting my intellectual property.
Is there some other ways I can make sure that they can only view, print, but not modify or copy the contents in my PDF files?
Adobe staffs, please take a look at this closely.

Did you see the warning that you get when setting security in Acrobat?
In Acrobat 8, "All Adobe products enforce the restrictions set by the
Permissions Password. However, not all third party products fully
support and respect these settings. Recipients using such third-party
products might be able to bypass some of the restrictions you set".
So, while disturbing, this isn't really news.
But in any case, Acrobat's password security does nothing really to
protect you from copying. Any file can be copied or shared. If you
want to protect your intellectual property, you have to enter the
controversial and often expensive world of DRM.

PDFs with password security will not open on Blackberry tablet

I'm a designer, pretty clued with everything Mac based. I put password security on PDFs sent out to clients to restrict editing, theft of images, maps, high resolution printing etc.
However, they won't open on Blackberry tablets, if they do, they show as blank, grey pages. The same PDFs without secuity will open. Client tells me he is using up to date Adobe Reader. To be clear, I do not create a password requirement for opening the PDFs, just to restrict editing etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've had this same exact problem quite often ever since the update to version 7.6.2.9 on Windows Vista Home Premium. The only solution I have found is to go into Task Manager and find the two I-Tunes processes that are running and END those two processes. I don't know what other problems doing this could cause and it is VERY annoying! It might be a good idea to reboot after fixing it. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Maybe this Apple's way of punishing me for not installing Safari

Applying password security & comment enable to PDF

Hi all,
This is my second discussion reg. the livecycle PDF Generator ES.
First discussion was completed successfully with the help of "Jasmine".
We got a requirement from production team, stating that they will provide the "water marked" pdf.
They wanted back with password security and comment enable pdf.
Is this possible to do it in live cycle.
I check in livecycle they given provision only in PS to PDF not for the direct PDF.

Its rather difficult to explain over the forum, but basically the invokeDDX action takes a map of documents and the DDX file. The key of the map matches with the source values in the DDX. For example, if I have an entry in my DDX like: <PDF source=”doc1.source” /> then I need an entry in my Map with the key doc1.source.
You can either create the map outside of the invokeDDX operation (for example in a setValue) or you can use the operation's property sheet to enter values.
As for the DDX - if you are using ES2, then you can create one using the Document Builder by right clicking on your project and selecting New->Assembly Descriptor.
With earlier versions of the product you can create the DDX in the invokeDDX operation itself.
The following help file may clear things up:

Problem viewing secure PDF documents in Preview

I have recently written an ebook that I would like to sell online. The original document was created using Pages and saved as a standard PDF. So far so good.
As a way of trying to protect the book, I would like to have it password protected, which of course I can do in Preview, however, to use a stamping feature on the server that would print the buyer's name and email on the downloaded book, I am told that I need to save the PDF as Acrobat 5 or later.
The problem I am finding is that if I save a PDF in Acrobat using any kind of security it fails to view properly inside Preview. The page contents are reduced to miniscule items that are totally unusable, but those same files open perfectly inside Acrobat.
So far the only way I can get password protected PDF files to open properly in Preview is if they are saved in Preview, however, I have found that these files are not compatible with the PHP stamping feature on the server that would add the buyer's details.
Does anybody with knowledge of Acrobat and Preview understand what is happening here and how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks
Ashley

I have no solution, but reassurance that this is not an isolated incidence. I also have a pdf that is password protected and opens properly in Adobe Acrobat, but only displays the first page in Preview... Hope someone can shed some light on this!

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.

Correct, you need to encrypt then sign.
Unfortunately, there is no way to pass a password for opening.

Downloaded file won't open when password-secured

Since moving from Acrobat 8 to 9, my passworded pdf file will not open once it is downloaded from the server. My file was created as an .xls file in openoffice, then converted to pdf. Password security was then set in Acrobat 9 pro (mac). I works fine when not passworded. Is there something I can do to regain the security functionality? Note: the problem only occurs AFTER uploading to the server; it works as it should on my computer before that.

Thanks - I tried do that but I didn't see any appropriate forum - the choices were too specific. Any chance you could point me to the correct one to deal with this issue?

Setting passwords for pdf document generated by SAP system

We are generating PDF documents from SAP system and distributing them as email attachment. just want to know if anyhow we can enforce the password protection while generating these documents or may be setting the password protection before distribution. If yes, then what are the requirements/essentials for the same?

1. Is there any OSS Note on the same issue where it has been published by SAP that it can only be ensured using third party solutions? If yes, may I have the link?
I have no clue on this i.e. whether we can integrate Adobe Policy Server. My understanding was in it's current state it is NOT possible to have secured PDF Forms.
2. May I have the more elaboration on the way you mentioned in your reply?
Well what you can do is hide all the elements in the form and keep only a TextField visible. Now write a script and check the value entered in the TextField. If it matches with the default password you want to set then make the form visible else display error prompt back to user.

OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
that is protected with a password.
Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.
