Disable editing PDF before email to others

How can I sign a PDF document or disable editing feature of PDF document before sending to my customer?

With Reader... you can't. You'd need Acrobat or CreatePDF to restrict editing.

How can i edit PDFs?

How do i edit a PDF file?

Hi rryankirk01,
To edit a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, please feel free to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
And to get you started, here is some good Help content about editing PDF files: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/topics/editing-pdfs.html
Best,

I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy. Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

Convert editable PDF to read-only when sent in an email - JavaScript

I have a real estate company that is trying to have an application that a agent and customer can fill in the needed information, hit a submit button, have the javascript compose an email with the attached pdf. Here's the issue I'm having: I need to be able to convert the editable pdf to a read only so when the customer receives a copy they cannot edit the information again.
Here is my javascript code for the submit button:
// This is the form return email. It's hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address.
// Change address on your form to match the code below
// Send to buisness email
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
// First, get the client CC email address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("1st Tenant Email").value;
if(cCCAddr != "")
// Now get the second email only if it is filled out
var cBenAddr = this.getField("2nd Tenant Email").value;
if(cBenAddr != "")
// Now get the third email only if it is filled out
var cthirdAddr = this.getField("3rd Tenant Email").value;
if(cthirdAddr !="")
// Set the subject and body text for the email message
var cSubLine = "Test - Lease Form"
var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the filled form attachment for your own records"
// Send the entire PDF as a file attachment on an email
this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: (cCCAddr + "; "
+ cBenAddr + "; " + cthirdAddr), cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});

Hi keely,
Firstly you will need to buy a Reader Extensions license (this allows Reader to save the form data - otherwise the client will require Acrobat). Once this is done, you will then need a button (called "Lock Down" or something) that executes a script that makes all of the fields readOnly and updates a form variable (say, "locked") to indicate that the form is locked. You will also need to add a script to the initialize event that checks for the value of "locked", then executes the readOnly script (if the form needs to be locked down). An example of a readOnly script can be found on page 434 of http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_scriptingReference (see "Disabling all form fields" script)
Here is a sample form ( https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/9df046bd-1125-4923-95de-35fc845139ca ) with a 'Lock All fields' button. Once you click this button all the forms turn 'Read only'.
Another way to accomplish this which still requires Reader Extensions or Acrobat Pro is to use digital signatures. The people you are sending this to should have certificates set up.
Hope this helps.

Edited PDF does not contain viewable text in an email. Why?

I am currently using Acrobat Pro 8.0 on a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to edit PDF documents by adding text to them and sending them in an email. Now that I have upgraded my OS to Mavericks, I can't read the edited text in the pdf. Any suggestions?

Stick with Adobe Reader. iBooks will not and cannot display form fields or edited text in a PDF as you have learned. You cannot add text in iBooks either. You can't change that. The built in mail app is also incapable of displaying edited PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust and feature rich than iBooks, which I'm sure you have already seen for yourself.
iBooks pales in comparison as a useful PDF tool. i think that you will be much better off using Adobe Reader.

Create an editable pdf that can be submitted by email

I've figured out how to create an editable pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro. The pdf is a form to be completed. Is it possible for the recipient to complete it, save the changes in Adobe Reader and email it back? If not, what software do they need? (Acrobat?)

iicatcher,
You can!
The commands are slightly different depending on the version of Acrobat. I'd recommend you see the following video and help topic:
Video: http://infiniteskills.com/blog/2011/09/adobe-acrobat-x-tutorial-enabling-reader-users-to-s ave-forms/

Editable, Savable and Email-able PDFs from Reader!

Hello all,
so today I got an PDF from a web design firm. It contains a questionnaire with combo boxes and input forms. I was really surprised to find that, within Adobe Reader I can edit and save this PDF locally.
Further, another nice feature is that you can email an XML document of the form data (not the PDF itself). When you click the email button, the following is pasted into the body of the email:
The attached file contains data that was entered into a
form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally
with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data
by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several
data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details.
Maybe its old news here but I never knew that was possible through Reader! How can you make a document so its ready for editing, saving and emailing like this? Does someone has a tutorial on this please? Can the 'source' be read from the PDF?
Any advice / suggestions?
Thanks!
Marv

Not much of a tutorial needed. You create your form then you specially enable it in Acorbat Pro or better. The option is found under the "advanced" menu.
It's sort of old news. It's only been around the last two versions.
If you decide to use forms that are enabled like this, keep in mind that there are strict limitations on how many times they can be used. You can find those limitations in section 15 of the license agreement (There's a subsection in there. I think it's 15.12 but am not positive.)

Disable "Do you want to save changes to *.pdf before closing?" when closing a tif

We upgraded to Office 2007 and decided to stop using the Office 2003 document imaging tool to view TIF TIFF files. This tool wasn't included with Office 2007 so we started using Acrobat 9.1.3 Standard as our default TIF viewer.
Here is the problem. When you close the TIF document you are prompted "Do you want to save changes to 'xxx.pdf' before closing?" Is there a way to disable this prompt? We don't want to convert the files since they are in a read only database.

Nope. Using WORD or Acrobat is forcing a conversion and it not an ideal way to view such files. In addition, you may want to change resolution or such of the graphic before you import it to something such as WORD. Many folks embed graphics that are 3500 dpi and millions of colors and totally bloat the file. They even crop the graphic and reduce the size, wondering why their DOC file is sooooo big. In that sense, there is an advantage to having some of the other tools available. You may have special needs and I do not want to second guess your company needs, so that is my two-cents worth. Sorry that I do not have other ideas, but using an existing graphics package would be the best for your need.

I have an editable pdf (created using Acrobat 9).Is it possible to lock an editable pdf using Reader, but then unlock the same pdf (in Reader) at some stage in the future? The users of this pdf will only have Reader available to them. Once the editable fields are complete, I'd like them to be able to lock and unlock the document as it is being used - and depending on who is looking at the pdf. Is this possible and if so how? My understanding is that this would only be possible using Acrobat, but there might be a way around this?

Sending Invoice as PDF in email

Hello,
I have a requirement where I have to send Proforma Invoice as PDF in email.
Now, the Proforma Invoice is already using output type to Print and when I see the routines in Tcode NACE
It uses RVADAUS1 Program where it calls RV_EXPORT_DOCUMENT_PRINT function module to generate the Print document.
This works fine.
So, I created a new output type, copied the RVADAUS1 to ZRVADAUS1 and modified the code where I am capturing the Spool generated through the original code and pass it to CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert it to PDF and then send it as an email.
Now, the problem I am facing is that, I am not able to generate a Spool when I am using the medium ( '5' External Send ). So the further code of capturing Spool and convert to PDF and send as email fails.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Regards,
DNP

Hi Sudhanshu,
Just before calling the function module RV_EXPORT_DOCUMENT_PRINT.
I forced TNAPR-NACHA = '1'. and NAST-NACHA = '1'.
which means I forced Transmission medium as 1(Print) instead of 5(External Send)
This created a SPOOL.
Regards,
DNP

Unable to send PDFs as email attachments

I have become unable to send PDFs as email attachments when using Firefox.
Depending on the PDF, I either get the message “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” or it opens as a blank document. This occus when opening the file with both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro. The problem seems to be isolated to PDFs. (I am able to send Word files. If a PDF is zipped before attaching, it can be opened without problem.) This occurs on both an institutional email account and personal (Yahoo) email account. This problem is isolated to Firefox (does not happen in Chrome).
I have reset Firefox to default settings, as well as reinstalling.
Thank you.

Update Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 10.1.13 to version 11.
Also please update all of your plugins and try again.
Does this happen when you open the pdf in pdf.js, it is possible to change the default viewer by:
