Creating a password to protect a hyperlink from being executed in a PDF, that was created in InDesign

Hello,
Does anyone know a way to create a password to protect someone from clicking a hyperlink made in InDesign, that will be viewed as a PDF.
I have to make file with hyperlinks, but we may not want just anyone to be able to click on the destinations, without putting in a password?
IS this possible?
thanks

OooooKaaaaay. If the pages are in the same PDF, how do you expect to hide them from ordinary navigation/scrolling? Disabling the hyperlink seems like a waste of time if anyone can still page through the document. And if you have a way to require authentication at the page level (I have no idea how that would be done), you don't need it at the hyperlink stage.

  • Is there anything that you can do to fix a pdf that was created with the wrong orientation?

    Someone sent me 40-page pdf created from a document with landscape orientation that was output with portrait orientation. The pages are clipped off on the right and left. There is no way that I can see that you can change the orientation in Acrobat Pro and if it is converted into a Word document you can see most of the text, but there is still some missing, especially where there are tables. I don't have access to the original document. I was just curious if there was a way around this?

    Thanks, that is what I figured. Just thought I would ask. Some of the text that was clipped off did appear when the pdf was converted into a word file, but not all of it.

  • Creating a hyperlink from a picture in a pdf that opens Outlook email

    I use Adobe Acrobat 8.1 and am trying to create a link in a PDF so that with READER 7.0 or higher, when a recipient clicks on a picture (object) it will access Outlook and open up a new email that the recipient would complete and then send! Is it via a hyperlink? Not sure, and would appreciate any help that could be offered. Thanks.

    There is a possibility this will not work reliably. For forms, the mailto submission requires MAPI on the client machine. That may also be true for any use of mailto. In that case, it will be dependent on the client machine configuration. On non-windows machines, I have no clue what might happern.

  • Page numbers display as 5 of 1 and 2 of 2121 in a PDF that was created from a Word 2003 document

    We merge several Word 2003 documents into 1 larger document that we then convert to PDF.  The page numbers in the Word document display properly - 1 of 21, 2 of 21, 3 of 21, etc.  We then convert that merged document to PDF by right-clicking the filename and choosing "Convert to Adobe PDF".  For those of us with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.3, the page numbers in the converted PDF file display as 1 of 1, 2 of 1, ... 21 of 1.  Those with Acrobat Professional 8.1.3, they display as 1 of 21, 2 of 2121, 3 of 212121, etc., each page adding another total number of pages to the total.  There is no change in the result if using v8.0.0 or 8.1.4  Does anyone have any ideas???

    Unless you have a specific reason to upgrade to OFFICE 2007, I would not recommend it. I hate it -- have it on two computers. I have had problems creating PDFs reliably from WORD 2007 and PPT 2007, at least with graphics. The conversion seems to want to split graphics up into several parts rather than leave it as one. It does not happen with WORD 2003 and so assume this is some sort of issue with OFFICE 2007. You can get the graphics fine if you use the MS plugin for PDF creation, but then you have to deal with the MS version of a PDF. If you want to try it on one computer in your office, I would do that before you make the change. However, if what you have meets the need, then why change unless there are specific items that you are looking for and don't have.
    OK, that is my opinion. I am sure there are counter arguments. If I had the preference on my newer machines, I would have OFFICE 2003. Bill

  • Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad

    Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad. I don't want to lock him out of the iPad. Let him use Angry birds, but not Sims or Games not appropriate for him that I play.

    Sorry, but it is not possible to restrict use of specific apps other that the few restrictions provided in the Restrictions settings, not unless the app itself provides some sort of lock. If you don't want your child playing certain games, the only answer is to not load them on the iPad he uses.

  • How to "protect" a square from being erased in a Java Paint application?

    Hi. I have created a paint program in Java (something like MS Paint) and I have a problem.
    In order to show the current colour the user is using I have drawn a square on the screen.
    But when I select the eraser tool and try to erase the square, it can be erased and I dont want that.
    Is there any way I can "protect" the square from being erased by the eraser tool?
    The eraser tool basically draws white rectangles when the mouse is dragged.
    Thanks

    Hi. This is the code I am using. Hope this helps.
           Button fill_rect_btn = new Button(" Fill Rect");  //create buttons
           Button draw_rect_btn = new Button(" Draw Rect"); 
           Button eraser_btn = new Button("Eraser");
           eraser_btn.addActionListener(this);       //add actions listener                      
           eraser_btn.addMouseMotionListener(this);  //and MouseMotionListener
           g.setColor(Color.yellow);  //draw the yellow rect
           g.fillRect(0,0,145,108);   //behind the buttons
           else if(e.getSource()==eraser_btn)
              {shape=7;}  //test if button has been clicked
            public void mouseDragged(java.awt.event.MouseEvent mouseEvent)
                 if(shape==7)  
                     g.setColor(Color.white);                                      
                     g.fillRect(xvalue, yvalue, 10 , 20  //draw rectangles
                     g.setColor(Color.black);

  • Protecting your email from being copied

    Does anyone know if there is a function for mac that can protect your emails frome being copied by another person.

    +Outlook does not include these capabilities which is impossible.+
    Don't be silly. Information rights management has been an integral part of MS' Office suite since the 2003 version. I might add that there are other programs that do the same thing, for other kinds of documents, for example Adobe Acrobat for pdf files. Unbelievably enough, even various well-known pieces of Apple software do the same thing for certain kinds of media files. You simply do not know what you are talking about.
    This is straight from Outlook's Help:
    "By using Permission on the toolbar, you can restrict permission on an e-mail message for specific recipients you want to read the message. As the message sender, you can remove restricted permission from a saved draft of a message by clicking Permission on the toolbar again. Recipients can open and read an e-mail message with restricted permission just as they would a message that doesn't have restricted permission. If recipients don't have Outlook 2003 or later installed on their computers, they can download the Rights Management Add-on for Internet Explorer or another program that supports content with restricted permission.
    E-mail administrators can create permission policies to include on the Outlook Permission submenu (or Permission on the File menu). These permission policies define who can read messages and what actions recipients can take with those messages. For example, an e-mail administrator might define a policy called "Company Confidential" that specifies that a message using that policy can be opened only by people inside the company domain. When you compose a message, you can choose from up to 20 customized policies on the Permission submenu (depending on how many policies the e-mail administrator provides)."
    +Regarding security, there is a night and day difference between Windows and OS X.+
    More nonsense. See my above remark.

  • A Table that was created at Run time. A Row Properly Deleted from Table Is Still Present on Form with BindingNavigator

    Hello
    I have a dataset that was created at design time
    but - after I run the app, it randomly creates a table based on The Users name
    since I do not know the users name before had, the table is not part of my existing dataset
    (I actually used an insert into sql nonquery to just make this table a copy of the masterUserTable)
    Now - I have a binding navigator on my form, that is originally bound to masterUserTable, but my goal is to make it bound to the users table (let's say GabrielUserTable)
    I thought I did so with this code: 
            'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
            Me.MyMainDBTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable)
            Dim ThisNewVariable As String = MyUserNameIs & "UserTable"
            Dim ThisNewTableName As New DataTable
            Me.MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable.TableName = ThisNewVariable
            Me.MyMainDBTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable)
    that appeared to do the trick  (but if it is incorrect please advice on the proper way to add a table made at runtime to a users existing datset)
    Else where in my code  I successfully execute the following NonQuery :
            SqlString= "DELETE FROM " & MyUserNameIs & "UserTable" & vbCrLf &
                "WHERE vState='" & txtStateInfo.Text & "';"
    I check in Visual Studio 2013 that the row was deleted from the "GabrielUserTable"  (Gabriel is the current value of MyUserNameIs) by using the Server Explorer and right clicking
    on the table and choosing show talbe data
    But the MyMainDBBindingNavigator is still showing the item I deleted.
    So after searching for answers - I created a new button for testing and added the following code to test if it would work
            Me.Validate()
            Me.MyMainDBBindingSource.EndEdit()
            Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.MyLearningDBDataSet)
    but the data is still shwoing after deleting it with my NonQuery 
    Please Help!

    Hi genterprise,
    >> Now - I have a binding navigator on my form, that is originally bound to masterUserTable, but my goal is to make it bound to the users table (let's say GabrielUserTable)
    In my option, if you want to rebind the users table to the navigator, you need to set the BindingNavigator.BindingSource. Based on your description, it seems that you did not reset the datasoure of the MyMainDBBindingNavigator. It was the original datasource
    of the masterUserTable. For more details about BindingNavigator.BindingSource Property. You could refer the link below:

  • Add a note to a Calendar event that was created from Mac Mail

    When I create a Calendar event by clicking on a date within a Mac Mail message (you hover over a date in an email it draws a dashed box around the date and gives an option to create a Calendar event).  It creates an Event in my Calendar with the following fields:  Subject, Location, Date Time and alert fields, Invitees and a link to the mail message.  But - I can't seem to add a Note Field.  The only work-around seems to be to manually create a new calendar entry.
    Does anyone know how to modify an event created from Mac Mail to add a Note Field?
    iMac Retina 5K 27-inch Late 2014, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3, Calendar Version 8.0 (2034.9), Mail  Version 8.2 (2098).

    Thanks Brett for replying, but this doesn't work if the event is created by Mac Mail - which is my issue.  Sure it works with any other event but not one that has been created from within Mail.  If this is a bug I'm sure the Calendar people point the blame at the Mail people and vice versa but that doesn't help me.  But before I submit a report to Apple I thought I would see if I might be missing something obvious.
    See the attached screenshot of an event that was created by Mac Mail. There is no Add Notes field when the event is Double Clicked, Right Clicked or any other form of click.

  • I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

    Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
    If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
    (Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

  • Protect child SWF from being downloaded

    Hi, I've been struggling with this for a while and i cannot
    find how to do this....
    I have a main Flex app (main.swf) that load other pieces of
    content (content.swf, content2.jpg, etc...). I want those pieces of
    contents to be accessible only by using main.swf. I've tried to put
    my content outside the web root and access it in main.swf using an
    image container with the source :
    http://www.server.com/file?content.swf&key=secret,
    but anyone can access this string and download content.swf.
    So, how can i protect content.swf from being downloaded...
    Note that i cannot embed content.swf, content2.jpg, etc... since
    there will be too many files...
    Any help would be appreciated

    I'm going to throw this out there and say, simply, that you
    can't. Just the fact that someone is viewing the content means
    that's it's already downloaded to their system, albeit buried in a
    temp folder somewhere.
    I think instead of stopping someone from downloading it, you
    could find a way to stop it from working once it's separated from
    the web server it's currently deployed on.
    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, of course...

  • Importing data from Excel to generate "filled" PDF form that was created in Designer

    Hi there
    I have a form that was created in Designer.  The data that  I need to import is all in a Excel spreadsheet with the same fields as the form.
    Is it possible to import all the data so that it generates a printed PDF with the data on each line of excel?
    For example:
    If my excel file shows:
    First Name      Last Name     Phone Number        UserID
    John               Doe               416-777-9970           johndoe997
    Mike               Rogers           905-887-3398          mikerogers997
    In this example I would like to generate a PDF form for John and for Mike, each with their details filled out on the form based on the data in the excel sheet
    Thanks in advance!

  • Need to edit a form that was created by someone else.

    Hello, I have to edit a form that was created by someone else. I made numerous changes to the text and repositioned a lot of the items, and it appeared fine on my computer. However, when I open it on my PC and other systems, the fonts are substituting and I'm getting strange characters where I changed the text. I tried embedding the fonts with the Preflight embed fonts, but it is still messed up. My client is anxious...not sure what else to check. Any help would be appreciated!

    You don't need to re-do the fields. If you create a new version of the PDF
    file just open the old one and use the Replace Pages command to insert the
    pages from the new version over the old ones. This will give you a new
    version of the file, with the existing form fields still in tact. Of
    course, you might need to adjust their location and/or size, but at least
    you won't have to start all over again...
