As has already been noted, your account has a password. If this isn't secure enough for you, you can look for applications that permit document passwording. Mac Office permits document level passwords. So does FileMaker Pro. Or, you could create a passworded disk image and save your private documents there - that's what I do.

Maybe use the portable Firefox version on a USB stick if you want to prevent access to your profile.<br />
Solutions that use an extension can easily be bypassed by starting in [[Safe mode]].<br />
Otherwise you need to locate the Firefox profile folder on an encrypted drive.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Password protection of iWork documents is not available in iWork '08. The feature was added with iWork '09.
However, you can use an encrypted disk image to secure your documents.

How do I create tabs for pdf documents?

I need to create tabs for documents I am saving as a single pdf file.

This can be done with Adobe Acrobat.
Certain kinds of document conversion (e.g. conversion of Word documents with heading styles) might do in CreatePDF too.

Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

How old is your son?
Under the Spanner in Pages there is Set Password where you create a password with hint. You really have to deliberately dig this out to do it.
Do you get a hint when you are asked for the password?
The Password is very secure, if you can't remember what it is, you will have to recreate the document.

Creating unique passwords for a PDF document

I'm going to be selling a PDF eBook on the Internet.
I would like to know if there is a way to create a unique PDF password for each customer
rather than having every customer have the same password that was created in Adobe Pro.
I purchased a $20 eBook that requires you to enter a unique alpha-numeric
password (given only to me) before the Adobe file shows the eBook contents.
I was given a password upon purchasing and when I downloaded and double clicked
on the PDF file, it had the standard message
"this PDF is protected. Please enter a Document Open Password."
They company selling that product must have found a way to create unique passwords
for each customer with their PDF document.
Any help or comments would be appreciated.

George - what I will be selling is a 650-page PDF eBook. Given the amount of content (especially the quality of the content), it's worth protecting it. LockLizard and such products are too high for a startup like mine. They are geared more for the enterprise business level.
Dave Merchant - I right clicked on the PDF eBook I mentioned in my original post that seems to have a unique password for each customer. On the 'general' tab, it says at the bottom:
"Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer."
I'm not sure if that tells you anything.
What's interesting is that after I cancelled the order for that $20 eBook product, the password still works - so the company using that password system either does not have the capability to revoke access or they simply forgot to revoke access to the eBook for me personally.
BTW, I found out that e-junkie.com has a PDF stamping option that will stamp each buyer's PDF with their name, email address, and transaction number. That would help. But I would still like to have the customer have to login with a unique password or key code to access the eBook contents. Having tenchology that revokes access to the eBook would also be ideal, but that might be too expensive to implement.
thanks

I have 1500 MS Word files.

1500.doc
Convert all at once to PDF files.
1.pdf
1000.pdf
1001.pdf
1002.pdf
1500.pdf
Set unique password for each.
1.pdf        --> passwd: dlkfger
...            --> passwd: ewrfgwr
1000.pdf   --> passwd: 32e32rtg3

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 pro, I tried using Document Processing -> Batch Processing, where I created a new sequence of commands from the available list, but it didn't work out as intended, and it doesn't cover the whole cycle I want.
I hope you could tell me the way to accomplish this.
Thanks.

This can't be done in a batch process in Acrobat since you can't set an encryption password in this way (you can either set the same password to all files, or have the batch prompt you to enter each one separately).
Also, where are the passwords and email addresses come from? Are they a part of the file? Stored in a text file or database somewhere?

Password for a Document folder

I have not needed a pasword in the past and I remember years ago in was not possible for a P/W for a document folder.
Has there been any changes that now allow for passwords for a document ?
If not, any free apps out there for it ?
thanks,
Greg

Yes, you can create an encrypted folder and save files into it. Only someone with the password will be able to open the folder or its contents.
There's a detailed explanation in this thread here:

What is the password for 'oracle' user created during XE installation?

Hi,
What is the password for 'oracle' user automatically created when XE is installed?
I installed XE on Linux and it's created under 'oracle' user, but I don't know 'oracle' password. So, I cannot stop TNS listener.
During configuration, it prompted me to enter SYS and SYSADMIN password but it didn't ask me to enter 'oracle' user password.
Please let me know or point me to the document.
Thanks,
N

Hi Jari,
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.
When I type (sudo su -oracle) as follows, it still prompts the password. When I hit Enter key w/o anything, it seems to proceed and the prompt shows up in the following line. So, I thought it was successful, but when I checked 'whoami', it's not logged in as 'oracle'.
So, I created the password for 'oracle' and logged in as 'oracle' using a new password. Then, I stopped TNS listener to uninstall XE.
It would be nice if it's documented in XE document somewhere... since it's created by XE installation, I assumed some kind of default password was used.
Thanks,
N

In Pages 5.0.1 option to set password for editing document is gone when exporting as a pdf

In last version of Pages, I would make a proposal to a customer and then go to 'share' and then choose 'PDF' from the drop down. Next screen allowed me to choose the option of password protecting the document from being edited. This new version of Pages only seems to allow setting a password for opening the document. I do not need to password protect the document from being opened, just edited. Any help for this new problem? Apple always seems to remove features that are so helpful and useful when they 'upgrade' apps., very frustrating!

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Set Password for a PDF created from SAP

Hi,
Somebody knows if it is possible to set a password for a pdf file created from a function module.
We are using different functions to generate the pdf (i.e. CONVERT_OTF, CONVERT_OTF_AND_ARCHIVE).
Are there some parameters to set this password, or also after archived it (with Archive Link)u2026
Thanks a lot.

When trying to update Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps? Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
