Combining encrypted p/w protected files

I have downloaded .pdf copies of credit card statements for years. I want to combine one year's statements into a single .pdf file, but am prohibited from doing this because the file is protected. It says it is encrypted and password protected. Any way around this?

You can collect the files in a portfolio.

Combine supported files in Acrobat 10 Pro fails for password protected files

I use Acrobat 10 Pro and wanted to combine a number of pdf-files to one big file.
It failed because the files in question have a permission password.
After I bought Acrobat on first creation of a pdf-file I was asked set a password
for reading and/or modifying it.
I decided to set no password for reading, but one for modification namely
<christian-name>.<surname> . I noted this down.
When I got the error indication after I tried to combine some pdf-files I tried
to remove the permission password. I was asked my password, but the program
refuses to take it.
What can i do, except to scan all the invoved pdf-documents once again, this time
without any password. It's quite a lot of them.
Thanks in advance.

Hi thandman,
Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win 7 64 bit, so this may just be the first issue you will encounter.
Hope this helps,

Why can't I save my password protected file in a password protected folder?

I've just encrypted my folder which contains password protected files. I've attempted to save a new password protected file (Word document) but have had to save it to my desktop because when I try to save the file to the folder I receive a message: "Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full [which it is not] or write-protected [which it is]". Sooooooo. Does this mean I can only password protect the folder and not the files? Which is really annoying because I really do need the two levels of security. Please can someone help?

File Vault is not in Disk Utility. It is in System Preferences/Security/FileVault.

Keyword protected files - do they work or not on E...

I tried to open a keyword protected file on E90 Communicator. I got a message saying "cannot be opened". Is it true that Nokia E90 Communicator cannot handle protected files?

Many people are working heavily with the MXF out of Canon rigs and doing fine. Some are having issues. A few seem to be dead in the water with that codec/wrapper. So I'd guess it's a combination of hardware & software configurations & interactions that Adobe hasn't completely nailed down. So ... you might want to snoop around here, though do remember, the ones who post most often and most ... decidedly ... will be those with problems, and those who are just working away ... don't post a lot.
Still, the more of you with those cams & footage posting here, the more they'll learn about the issues there and the better they'll be able to get this handled.
I'd recommend posting your entire hardware/software/processing info here ...
-OS/CPU/RAM/GPU/vRAM specific to the dot and with video driver listed also.
-Disc layout of programs, cache, projects, & footage ... and connections with any externals.
-ALL programs & plugins within those programs that touch the files, any effects. (Yea, I realize when you can't go more than 30 seconds "effects" are pretty nil ... )
-Camera/s used & original codecs/wrappers, frame rates & size.
All this can be of use to puzzling out what's going on. For some, just moving forward OR backwards in video driver has fixed it. For others something else has worked. And a certain number are simply ... frustrated.

Open password protected file without password? Lost my password.

I lost my password to a Pages protected file and must find a way to open it without the password.

Best not to pull your brain apart trying to decipher the password issue. I lost my password recently and went nearly 8 months of stress trying every combination possible to open. My issue was my laptop. I was completely locked out. Until I got help on this Forum to remedy my issue. Since your issue concerns Pages I cannot imagine what strategies you could use or dream up. Save yourself by recreating your document if possible. Saving face is better than "stress sleep" that deprives your health and creates a host of other stress related issues. Start over and create another Pages document.

Can you encrypt a flash .as file?

I would like to know if there is any way to encrypt a flash
.as file to prevent code theft?
The products I've seen on the market so far seem to ony
encrypt swf files.
Thoughts?

I'd like to share my insights with you guys...
In general they can if you'll not take any actions to prevent
it. For
example this tool (
http://home.flashdig.com)
being a SWF editor, also
allows to protect any script without backward restoring.
Usual SWF
decompilers do not restore such protected script too. Of
course, it is
possible to investigate the SWF "under a microscope" :) and
find this
script manually. But it will be very dificult to do it in a
big SWF
file.
Another trick I ever saw was to use encryptor like RC4 or RC5
and
encrypt all your operators (do it somewhere outside of your
Flash
project) and then use a scheme like this:
//crypt string
cs = "qwertyasdfghjkl";
var cr = new ascrypt_RC4();
// here "blablabla1" is a result
// of encryption for "loadMovie" string
var lm = cr.decrypt('blablabla1', cs);
// here "blablabla2" is a result
// of encryption for "
http://..." string
var u = cr.decrypt('blablabla2', cs);
// here "blablabla3" is a result
// of encryption for "this" string
var t = cr.decrypt('blablabla3', cs);
t = eval(t); // getting "this" reference
// here is our encrypted action
t[lm](u); // it means "this.loadMovie(url)";
Doing that we achieve a result, when none of our meaningful
constants
(like URL's) as well as usual instructions will be ever seen
even if
SWF will be decompiled. Now let's imagin, that we're using
FLV
streaming and receive decryption key in the onMeta() data of
the FLV.
In this case decryption key will not be seen to the user,
because it
is not saved on the client computer. Of course, user can try
to stream
your FLV through a third-party client or hack the Flash
Player and get
the onMeta() structure. but you can prevent FLV streaming
without
preliminary user authorization. And don't forget to change
the locks
on your door frequently enough :)
Of course, you must have some knowledges about how AS
interpreter
works to write scripts like above. You must distinguish
variables
themself and their names. It's vital here.
HTH!

Password protect files before sending to backup

I use dropbox for online backup. They lack the ability to password protect files before sending them to dropbox. Is there a way to do this, given how dropbox works?
Or, is there a backup service similar to dropbox (windows and mac in one account) that does provide password protection before sending?
One option is to compress and encrypt the files then drop that zip into a dropbox folder. I'd loose the auto backup monitoring since I would have to get involved with each backup but that's ok if nothing else is available. Any suggestions on something free that can compress and password protect the compressed file? Or if nothing free, what else is good?

How do I know the DMG is going over to dropbox encrypted?
Control-Click on the .dmg
Select Show Package Contents.
You should now see the individual 8MB chunks that make up the Encrypted Sparse Bundle.
Open any of them (maybe using TextEdit, or TexWrangler, or Smultron). If you can figure out what is says, then encryption is not working. However, what you should see is gobbledy gook (encrypted data).
Also, the DMG initially set its size to 100MB. Can that grow dynamically?
I am not sure, but I think it will not. However, because you are using a Sparse Bundle, it will only consume the space it needs to hold the files you put into the mounted .dmg, so you can size it for a very large size. Maybe the size limit Dropbox imposes on you.

Protecting files on a T61?

Besides hard drive encryption, what would be a somewhat safe manner for protecting files on a T61?
- a power-on password
- a windows password
- a hard drive password
many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can configure Windows to only accept a fingerprint scan as a login and not take a password, so noone can find out your password or hack your laptop. The only way someone can access your laptop is if they have your fingers.

Password protecting files which will be uploaded to a web site

Hi,
In Snow Leopard I know that Disk Utility will create a disk image that can be password protected. Can that disk image be opened by a windows computer as well as a mac? Is there any other way to create a password protected file in SL? I need to upload secure audio files for clients to ultimately download (clients may not be very handy with computers). Thanks

An encrypted disk image can't be opened by anything without the password, unless you have the resources of a national security agency. There's no other way to password protect files or folders in OS X. Give it up, your paranoia is showing.

Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

How do I Remove password-encryption in a PDF file

Hello
Can anyone help me remove the password encryption on a PDF file? I am trying to submit a PDF file to a on demand printer & they di accept the file if it is password-encrypted.
Thanks

I have no idea why the printer thinks there is a password? When I opened the security link in Acrobat nothing is selected? So I'm stuck. I also opened the PMD thinking there was some password attached there & I found nothing?

Satellite Pro P300 - After Truesuite update I can't open protected files

Hi,
sorry for my bad english but I came from Italy and here we don't have any forum who can resolve my problem.
I've got a Toshiba Laptop pro P300 with fingerprint reader. I use fingerprint to logon and protect some files, just for curiosity, it seemed cool...:|
The problem born when I recently update "truesuite access manager". Since I did the update I can't open protected files, I didn't read that I have to remove the protection before the updating (damn...), but these files are important for me and I have to open them again.
To resolve the problem at first I restore the system before the date of the update, to have the old version and open these files again, but all my fingerprints are deleted and I can't create new fingerprints because the pc says that it "can't open the sensor". I don't know what it means.
I thought that it needs some drivers, so I reinstalled truesuite access manager several times, I reinstalled BIOS, I've done the scan disk and the toshiba diagnostic, but the sensor still doesn't work.
I think that if I can save a fingerprint with the old version of the program I will able to open protected files again (and I will not protect them anymore) because only the old version of the program knows how to decrypt these files, but I don't know how to turn the fingerprint sensor on. Someone could help me, please?
Thank you so much!

The Truesuite update come from the Toshiba website. I can open the Truesuite program with my fingerprint but I can't decrypt files because it says that I don't have the correct "key of protection" or the "protection code keyAC 3000" of the file.

Older version of text edit won't open protected file

An older version of Text Edit has replaced the copy I had. It is not opening. I have a disk mounted password protected file that holds a Text Edit document. Clicking on the document isn't working.
I tried to find a download page for the current version of Text Edit, but I didn't see one on Apple's site. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I am trying not to go back to the Genius Bar, as a stray Text Edit icon from yesterday's session (another issue) started this mess!
Thank you!

No need to open Textedit - just select it in Finder, then press Command I (or Finder - File menu - Get Info) : a new window should open with information about the item, including the version number.

How do I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, i.e combine a number of bookmark files

I'm setting up a laptop and want to have all the bookmarks from my desk machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in end up in one file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

You need to combine all the links to one HTML file.
You only need a file with Anchor links like this:

If you export bookmarks to an HTML file then you create a copy of your bookmarks and you edit that copy and you do not affect the original bookmarks.

Firefox allows the printing of PROTECTED files on my server. WHY?

ALL other browsers RESPECT the fact that a PDF file is password protected and does NOT allow this file to be printed. Fire Fox violates this rule and let's internet users simply by pass the protection and print the files. That really SUCKS! This should be fixed to comply with common practices. Will this be fixed?

I am not sure where this is best discussed. One of the developers mailing lists possibly.
* http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#general-development
'''You certainly will not get developer's attention on this support forum. '''
I doubt any bug filed will gain traction without prior discussion & agreement from developers. The wider subjects of copyright protection are also offtopic here but of course the problem is not just copying pdfs there is much other media that has copy protection and there are often methods of circumventing that. <br />
Even your current issue is probably not unique to Firefox. What is your site ? can you post a test file ? I imagine I will have no problem obtaining the same files with alternative browsers.
In any event there is a <s>there is</s> a currently open bug and anything filed is likely to be quickly closed as a duplicate of that. Bugs are for developers to work from and not for discussion of the bug merits.
*See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792816#c12 Bug 792816 - pdf.js doesn't respect document permissions ]
From that comment it would appear the responsible developer is Asa Dotzler and perhaps it may be appropriate to politely enquire in one of his [http://asadotzler.com/2014/02/11/netiquette/ blogs] where this matter is being discussed
Another suggestion put your protected files behind a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paywall paywall] or at least a login for identifiable known subscribers.
