Create a view-only PDF

I need to create some view-only PDFs that cannot be printed, copied, forwarded, or saved electronically.  I see the security settings for printing, but I'm still able to save and forward the file.  Is there a way to do this?  I have Acrobat Standard 7.0.  Thank you.

You can do all with Acrobat security except the forward file. The save can be restricted, but that is only for changes. When a PDF is downloaded to view, it is one the machine (typically in the TEMP folder). If you want to restrict the use, then you are talking about an expensive solution with LiveCycle DRM type processes. Acrobat itself can not restrict the availability of the PDF. If that is of concern, then you either need to trust the user, not forward it, or use DRM.

  • Safari auto-downloading previously view-only PDFs

    Hi everyone,
    Begrudgingly working my way through Lion's changes in the middle of a work-week.. Not the best use of my time, but oh well!
    I have an issue with certain websites, where on Snow Leopard, clicking a PDF report of something would open a new Safari window with the PDF displayed.
    On Lion, when I click the same PDF report it automatically downloads and then opens in Preview.
    In this particular circumstance, I bounce back and forth between reports quite often, and would rather not have 30 or 40 downloaded PDFs in my downloads folder.
    Does anyone know if there is a preference or a command I need to activate in order to "view-only" these PDFs rather than have them automatically download?
    I looked in Preferences but did not see anything relating to what I am looking for.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    +1 on this.
    I'm in process of writing a textbook chapter, and I would like to be able to view PDFs inside of Safari rather than having to navigate to the downloads folder, opening the file, deciding if I want to keep it, and then managing the file.  Was better in the previous version where the pdf would display inside the window and I could read the paper's abstract and then decide if I wanted to save it.

  • Creating a Web Viewer-only issue

    So I got through step 4 in these instructions.
    /helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/creating-web-viewer-only-rendition.html
    Now step 5 says build an app with social sharing enables and test the Web Viewer rendition.
    Does that mean going into the DPS App BUilder and all the same steps as building the app for submission to Apple?
    Will I need all the certificates etc.?
    Has anybody done one of these yet and can give me more details?
    Dave

    Yes, that's exactly what you would do.

  • Problems viewing Combined PDF's in Preview

    I work primarily in Photoshop CS5.  All of my work is created there.  My problem arises when creating and viewing compressed PDF's using "Preview" on Macintosh.  The text is very funky.  But as expected, Acrobat itself displays all files flawlessly.  My PDF creation flow is as follows. 
    1.  Save Photoshop Document(s) to individual Photoshop PDF's, without layers so I keep only one image and my vector data. (I always resize and save my documents appropiately for their intended use.  I keep all file sizes to a minimum when creating a document for email use.)
    2.  Using Acrobat, I combine/merge my files, selecting the appropriate compression method for its intended use (Small, Medium, Large)
    When I use the Medium compression in Acrobat, I encounter no problems through "Preview".  All of my text appears as it should.  Works great, but I'm left with a 26MB file.
    When I use the Small compression in Acrobat (suggested for email) I have all kinds of problems with my text in "Preview".  I would love to use this option as my files sizes are half of what they are at Medium compression.
    I know that "Preview" is not a replacement for Acrobat, but Mac's default application for opening PDF's is "Preview", and many of the users that I deal with are not equiped with any Adobe software.  Is there a fix?  What is Acrobat discarding when it compresses the file for emailing?
    I might add that the small version that is not displaying the text, still contains the text (I'm able to select it), it's just not visible.

    The problem isn't with what Acrobat is discarding, but what Mac Preview is doing with the data available. The problem is with Preview. You cannot make a silk purse with a sow's ear. If Preview is doing a terrible job rendering a perfectly fine pdf, that Reader displays appropriately, there is nothing Adobe can do.

  • Error in creating dynamic view

    Hi,
    I am using the following to create a dynamic view which will be created on runtime and conditions will be provided by user. Here is the code:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DYN_VIEW_PROC(PARA IN NUMBER)
    AS
    DEPT_NO NUMBER(3) := PARA;
    DYN_QUERY VARCHAR2(1000);
    BEGIN
    DYN_QUERY := ' CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW DYN_VIEW
    AS SELECT EMPNO,ENAME,DEPTNO FROM EMP_NEW
    WHERE DEPTNO > :1 ';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE DYN_QUERY USING DEPT_NO;
    END;
    But when i execute this code i got the following error:
    SQL> EXEC DYN_VIEW_PROC(10);
    BEGIN DYN_VIEW_PROC(10); END;
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01027: bind variables not allowed for data definition operations
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DYN_VIEW_PROC", line 9
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    If i hardcode the condition in the defenation of view then it works fine. Any solution of it.

    It looks strange.And more so, since the view name seems the same across each invocation (unless the example is missing that detail). So, if two users were creating this view one after the other and then subsequently try to use it, what would each user see in their output???
    Not the rows based on their where condition, possbily.
    You would create the view only once with all the necessary joins and any static conditions. Then users would use it as and when necessary, supplying their custom where condition on top of it.
    What is the need you are trying to solve using this dynamic view creation?

  • Allowing View Only right to CMC in BO 4

    We are trying to create a VIEW only access to our BO consultant in our production CMC.  But there are certain things that are hard to control.  For example, Authentication - Is there a way to make it VIEW only.  How about other options listed below - is there a way to make it so he can view it but not change it;

  • Web Viewer-only renditions for Creative Cloud Subscribers using v26

    Hi does anyone know if it is possible, or will be possible to create Web Viewer-only renditions if you are a Creative Cloud / Single edition DPS user using the latest v26 build?
    Most articles don't clairify which membership option their instructions pertain to. -Thanks!

    Creative Cloud / Single Edition customers don't have access to the web viewer at all, so the web viewer only rendition feature isn't applicable.

  • SAP role for view only

    Hi,
    I have a request to create a View only role for a person to access ECC6 system.
    Can anyone advise how this can be done?
    Thanks all.

    Hi,
    Try to put together "display" roles for the different applications you are using. I think that is part of the problem - since everyone uses different apps there is no one "display all" role.
    You could copy SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW and go through the ACTVT fields, but it's a long-winded process.
    Regards,

  • File was view only, won't save to PDF - log: OffendingCommand: text (Framemaker 11)

    I have been printing a book successfully for weeks now, and today did an edit to one chapter in the book. Now when I save the book as PDF, I get this in the log:
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: Text ]%%
    Stack:
    /Body
    /T
    -mark-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    I thought I fixed it because it was originally producing a "view only file" message (for the one chapter that I changed) while generating. I renamed the file, turn the lock on and off, and don't get the view only message, but still no PDF, either save-as-pdf of the individual chapter or the whole book.
    Can anyone help? I've never encountered this.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I just started using a new version of Illustrator and the text I am creating has a pink box behind, looks to be about the depth of the normal linespace, it is not visible in outline view, only in preview. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    I just started using a new version of Illustrator and the text I am creating has a pink box behind, looks to be about the depth of the normal linespace, it is not visible in outline view, only in preview. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    Hi Larry. I see. It is a file I have worked on previously, and the font is Myriad which I though came with the system. I just changed to Myriad Pro and the pink box disappeared. Thanks for the assistance, I know a new thing!

  • When creating a lot of pdf's from Word my computer opens every created pdf for viewing? How do I remove this property from use

    Have to create a lot of pdf's in the future, so this property is quite annoying. Is it removable ?

    Using Adobe Acrobat Professional
    Converting a lot of Word.docx to pdf. And each time the system shows me the resulting pdf to view. It is annoying but not critical to my work. Is there a place in the Adobe Acrobat Pro preferences or some other place to remove this.
    I am using the right mouse button to create the pdf.

  • How can I view a PDF file on my IPad? I only get the first page.

    How can I view a PDF file from my Ipad, both in email and Internet links? I only get the first page.

    Support for viewing PDFs in emails and web-pages is built in to the iPad. You need not have bought an app for that.
    There are PDF apps that provide more features than the built-in functionality, but for basic viewing of multi-page PDFs no app is required.

  • Purchase orders created by buyer only can be viewed

    Dear All,
    Can it possible that Purchase orders created by buyer only can be viewed by him not the ones created by other created under same operating unit.
    Regards

    Hi DInesh,
    Can you explain how it can be achieved by coding in Custom.pll. If you have a example code that would help. I think it is WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, the code should see the login/employee of the person and get the buyer id and should restrict the query to only those records created by this buyer id. This is just my thinking without verifying the entire process in applications.
    I think its a bit complex. Can you clarify it a bit detail
    Thanks,
