Creating app with password-protected folios to restrict who can read content

I have a customer who wants to put business-sensitive content onto iPads for a specific department. It's important that competitors can't see this content, so it can't be available freely through the app store.
Is it possible to distribute a Folio file as a stand-alone app without it being readily available to the public (and competitors) through the app store?
If not, is it possible to create an app for the App Store, and password-protect the folio file within it, either by requesting a password on load or by including a password block on the first page within the InDesign design?
Thanks for your help...

What you want to achieve can be done by using restricted distribution via DPS. You need to have DPS Enterprise Edition to do this. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/restricted-distribution-with-d igital-publishing-suite.edu.html

Can we create a password protected .folio file.

Hi,
Is it possible to create a password protected .folio file, that could be read after password authentication from the Content Viewer iPad app.

You currently cannot password protect the folio directly, however if you have DPS Enterprise Edition, you can use restricted distribution: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/restricted-distribution-with-d igital-publishing-suite.html

How to create PDF from Excel with Password Protection Using Visual Studio & Visual Basic

Could someone provide some VB code sample(s) to create a PDF file with password protection (Security Method - Password Security - Restrict Editing & Printing)?
I create a bunch of reports every week using an Excel 2010 addin that subsequently must be printed to PDF. I then have to manually edit the properties of each document in order to apply the printing restriction.
I'm using Acrobat X.
I've downloaded the SDK but have no idea which dll's to use or where to begin.
Thanks!
Ross

That's surprising & disappointing. I would have thought that this capability would have long since been requested.
Thanks for the heads up.

Problem in creating users with password restrictions

I have enabled the following option in the Authentication>Enterprise tab of CMC.
Must contain at least N Characters and specified N as 7
Enforce mixed-case passwords
However I am able to create user with password as abcd.
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance

I might be missing something but the rule applies to users changing their pw not administrators creating accounts. If the administrator sets this rule it would be thought/assumed that they would enforce their own rule when creating accounts. The users however should not be able to select 4 character passwords.
I'll run some tests and see if I find out anything different.
Tested this on XIR2 SP4 and XI 3.0 The rules apply to the user not the administrator creating the account.
So create an account while the 7 character pw is enabled. By default the user logs in with the pw (any amount of characters) and is prompted to change their pw. They cannot choose anything less than 7 characters. So unless an administrator creates an account with a password less than 7 characters AND deselects the option to force a pw change. All new users will be forced to select a 7 character password.
This is by design. If it forced the administrator to create accounts without a 7 character pw they could simply deselect the options(as administrators) so there is no security in forcing this.
Regards,
Tim

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.

Can I create a login/password protection in Muse for a HTML5 page or two?

Hi,
I'm new to Muse. Can I create a login/password protection for
one of my pages in Muse?

PASSWORD PROTECTING A PAGE WITH A NICE BOX DESIGNED INTO YOUR PAGE
FINALLY, I'VE FOUND AN ANSWER TO PASSWORDING A PAGE OR SECTION WITH ADOBE MUSE WITH GREAT SIMPLICITY AND ALLOWING YOU TO 'DESIGN' THE PASSWORD BOX INTO YOUR PAGE!!!
Even better is that you don't HAVE to have username AND password (although you could if you wanted to), so just a simple PASSWORD box and enter button DESIGNED BY YOU WITHIN YOUR PAGE, rather than nasty popups etc. Importantly, the password itself is NOT within the source code of your page either!!
The solution is at Jotform.com. I believe you can do this with a FREE ACCOUNT, although it's SUCH a great service for Musers that I paid for a proper account.
Before you do this, create a page on your site saying "Wrong Password. Please go away" or something to that effect. You'll need it for when they enter the wrong password.
So, in Jotform, you just create a new form and:
1. Drag on a password box (it's in the power tools section)
2. Select it and go to Conditions
3. Go to Change Thank You URL after submission
4. Enter: If [name of your password box] field EQUALS TO [enter your password]
5. In the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your protected page and click save
6. In the resulting box click "ADD A NEW CONDITION" and do the SAME as stets 3 to 5 but this time say NOT EQUALS TO" with your same password and in the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your WRONG PASSWORD page and click save
7. Embed the button on your page and you're done!!!
If you want to mess about with the EXACT alignment of a right aligned button and text box, you can go to Preferences and in the box which allows you to add your own custom CSS, enter the following code and mess about with the values until it's perfect for you:
.form-buttons-wrapper { padding-top:3px !important; }#id_2 {margin-left: -50px !important;}
Here's an example, built in Muse: www.hileytv.com/about.html
I hope this helps my fellow Musers!

IPad to wireless printer with password protected pdf files?

I have a iPad 2 connected wirelessly to a HP Photosmart 6520. I usually have no problem printing a variety of file and docs....including pdf files. My friend sent me some password protected PDF files today. I have the password and can open them just fine....but I can't get them to print. It just ignores me (no error message). Any suggestions?

ADE Not Compatible With Password Protected PDF Files

The version of ADE I downloaded will not work with password protected PDF files. What do I do?
Thanks.

ADE does not (yet) support files that use the Password Security handler, so you will want to use a different PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader.

Does any one can guide how to lock particular App with password?

Yes, do these steps,
Have you tested this throughly?
As an example 'lock' Safari via your method.
Now use Spotlight to search for Safari, tap it - is it 'locked'?
Now go to your email & find a link to click - Safari opens again.
Guided access is not a 'lock' in any sense of the word, it is a tool designed to stop things happening, but many apps have multiple ways to be found or launched you can't easily block them all.
Mallik_Hyderabad, iOS doesn't have this feature & Apple do not seem interested in adding it (7.5 years & it still isn't an option) - use a passcode with a lock screen timeout if you have any sensitive data on the device or get an Android device.

Winzip with password protection

Hi All,
We have a requirement to zip the files with password protection. Please can anyone guide us how to acheive this.
Currently we are planning to develop a custom adapter module by extending PayloadZipBean module to get the password functionality by writing some custom code. Please can anyone guide us from where we can get the code for this module or how we can achieve this.
Please correct me if the above mentioned approach is wrong. Also suggestions are invited to achieve the above mentioned requirement using other methods.
If anyone has already gone through such requirement then please share your experience and the way you achieved this.
Thanks and Regards,
Shiv.

HI Stefan,
As per my understanding, the blog (/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2007/02/21/sap-xi-acting-as-a-huge-file-mover) you specified is explaining to reduce the load on the server by zipping the large files. please correct me if i am wrong.
but the requirement is to zip the target file along with password protection. we are able to zip the target file by following steps in your blog (/people/stefan.grube/blog/2007/02/20/working-with-the-payloadzipbean-module-of-the-xi-adapter-framework), but how to password protect this zip file?
Thanks...

Is there any way to send some one a password protected pdf that only they can access/view with a password?

Is there any way to send some one a password protected pdf that only they can access/view with a password?
Thanks!

Hi wonderingtoday,
Yes, you can! If you have Acrobat, you can assign an "Open Password" to the PDF, so that only people who have that password can open the PDF. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

RSS Feed with Password Protected Blog

I just got done setting up a password protected blog on my .mac site w/ personal domain. I tested out the RSS Feed in NewsFire, and it worked fine (prompted for username and password), and it also works in the Mail program. I had a friend ask if it would work in her Google Reader, so I tried it out using my Google account, and it doesn't seem to want to work -- says the feed cannot be retrieved. Same thing when I tried to plug it into my Yahoo page. I set up another site with a test blog w/ no password protection, and it worked fine in the Google reader.
So I am assuming that the other readers are just not sophisticated enough to display feed from a password protected page. So my question is whether or not there's anything I can do (or advise them to do) to get around it.
TIA for any perspective.

Hi, JO
I'm having the same problem with password protection on, though I hadn't tested with it off.
I don't have a solution (though I'd like to find one), but I can add more info to the problem: when I tested my website on Internet Explorer in Windows (I run windows on my iMac with Parallels), the search function did work with the password protection on.
I'd really like to know how to get the Search button to work on the Mac with password protection on.

Hi Team, can the password protection will be disabled within Adobe Reader XI - the password is known

No - only Acrobat can change the security settings on a PDF file.
