Disable "Save As" for Reader

I would like to disable the Save As feature when creating and saving a PDF.  Is this possible?  I am currently using Acrobat 9.4.4 and a pretty new to setting security on pdf files.
Thanks,

Not possible. If a user hasn't already saved a copy of a PDF file, they can't open it in the first place! PDF files do not stream.

  • Enable "Save" rights for Reader using LC Server

    Hello All,
    To enable the "Save" rights for Reader I can use Acrobat Pro menu option Advanced -> Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader...
    What is the option in Reader Extensions console that maps to this right? Also, what service would this map to in Reader Extension WSDL?
    Thanks.

  • Disable Save or Save As for Read Only mpp file

    Hi,
    I have a read only mpp file and need to make sure that it cannot be Saved / Saved As by anybody in Team. They should only have access to view the file.
    How can enable a file which does not allow save / save as?

    ihvarrived,
    You didn't mention anything about being in a Project Server environment, so I assume Shiva's response has no meaning for you.
    With regard to an approach to prevent unauthorized users from saving a file let me again stress that, in my opinion, the best approach for this issue is training. That has the great advantage of mutual respect and cooperative effort in a team environment.
    To implement a more covert approach you will need to do the following:
    1. With the file open go to Developer/Code group/Visual Basic
    2. Hit the Project Explorer icon
    3. In the Explorer hierarchy, under the VBAProject double click on the "ThisProject"
    4. In the code window, paste the following code:
    Private Sub project_open(ByVal pj As MSProject.Project)
    MsgBox "This file is write protected. You can make changes" & vbCr & _
        "for temporary what-if scenarios, but you will not be" & vbCr & _
        "able to save without the correct password", vbExclamation, "Warning!"
    End Sub
    Private Sub project_beforesave(ByVal pj As MSProject.Project)
    pass = InputBox("enter save password")
    If pass <> "xyz" Then  'string in quotes is the password you chose for saving, "xyz" is for illustration only
        SelectAll
        EditDelete
    End If
    End Sub
    5. While still in the code window, go to Tools/VBA Project Properties/Protection tab
    6. Check the "Lock this project" option
    7. Enter and confirm a password. It can be the same as your save password or a different password (This will insure that only you can view and modify the above code)
    8. Hit OK, then File/Save [your filename] to capture your macro in the file. Note, at this point you will be required to enter your save password.
    Be advised that if a user does attempt to save without the correct save password, the file will be zeroed out and saved (i.e. nothing). That means that whenever you save the file you should also save a backup under a different name, so you can restore the
    file if necessary. I couldn't figure out a good way to work around this problem. If the user always tries a "Save As" this wouldn't be an issue, but if they chose "Save" and you don't have a backup, you're screwed.
    If this answers your question or is at least helpful, please mark it accordingly.

  • Save file for Reader Extended PDF

    I created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro for a Customer who is using Reader 7 and they are unable to save text that they type in the form...which is the whole point of the forms they needs.
    I've done some research and it all says that I need to save my form as a Reader Extended PDF, but that isn't an option when saving my files (and my form is closed for editing).
    The only options I have under save as are as follows: Adobe PDF Files; Adobe PDF Files, Optimized; Encapsulated PostScript; HTML 3.2; HTML 4.01 with CSS 1.0; jpeg; jpeg2000; Microsoft Word Document; PDF/A; PDF/E; PDF/X; PNG; PostScript; Rich Text Format; Tables in Excel Spreadsheet; Text (Accessible); Text (Plain); tiff; XML 1.0
    I'm sure there is something that I'm missing, and if someone could help point me in the right direction I would be very greatful, as would my customer.
    Thank you in advance,
    Tiffany

    That worked, but now I'm having a different issue.  If you know why that would be amazing. As stated before my customer is using Acrobat Reader 7.  When they open the file they are getting an error message, but after cliking ok are able to open it and type in the document. When they save the file and open it back up the text is still there, but the form aspect of the file is gone, and it's just a normal PDF.  They need to be able to use the form multiple times in case information changes they need to be able to edit it.  Does she just need to upgrade to another version of reader?
    Any insight would be appreciated.

  • Disable Auto-Reply for Read Receipt

    Is it possible to make me be prompted as to whether or not I send a read receipt?
    A few people I know like to use the 'Read Receipt' option when they send me mail - if I'm on my windows PC I get prompted whether or not I want to send the receipt upon opening the message, when I use Mail on my mac it automatically sends it as I see a copy of the 'Delivery' message in my sent mail.
    Would using Entourage prompt me since it might be a MS thing?

    Hi Mike,
    From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
    AutoReplying For All Messages will bring mail loops, it is not recommended to send auto reply to all the incoming messages. Your understanding will be appreciated.
    Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

  • Failed to enable documento for Reader

    Hello again,
    I just finished doing a fillable PDF with Acrobat 9 and I need to save it as a fillable PDF that can be saved.
    Thus I go to Advanced and clic on Enable Reader users to save form data, but I get a popup error that said "Impossible to save document for Reader" [I am using the Italian version of Acrobat and I translated this error - it may be different in the English version]. No code error is displayed nor a Help link.
    One thing worth mention: when working on this document, I often got the error 14 - Impossible to save the document.After trying another 2 or 3 times the document was saved correctly.
    I tried this solution: http://blog.stronico.com/2009/12/how-to-fix-the-adobe-acrobat-save-as-error/  with no luck.
    Please help!

    I embedded all the fonts in Word 2007 (Word button > Options > Save > Embed only the characters used in this document    - see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/embed-true-type-fonts-in-word-and-powerpoi nt-2007-documents/ )
    Then I saved the Word file as a PDF.
    I opened the old PDF and replaced all the pages with the new embedded PDF, but I still have the error 14 when saving (on the third attempt it saves the PDF, anyway) and I am still unable to save the PDF with extended accessibility.
    Plus, Acrobat crashes....
    Please note that the fillable PDF opens and displays correctly in Reader.

  • Save form in Reader AND allow users to edit in Acrobat Pro

    I have to create a generic form that I can pass on that allows somoene to edit/customize the form for different clients. However, the end users also have to be able to fill in the form and then save that form locally. It seems to me that Acrobat Pro and Reader are cancelling each other out in this regard. I can set up the form just fine in Acrobat Pro, but when I enable the "Save" function for Reader, I can't edit the form anymore in Acrobat Pro.
    Full disclosure, I'm still on Acrobat Pro 7 (I had to use a co-worker's Acrobat Pro 8 to set the "Save Form" function for Reader). Have the later versions of Acrobat Pro fixed this issue?

    Or You could let the end users without Acrobat use the free PDF-XChange Viewer to fill out and save the form.
    http://www.docu-track.com/
    (Strange that it is so hard for Adobe to meet this simple need to fill out and save for common users with only the Adobe Reader - with out any "hanky panky" applying with Acrobat)

    You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
    If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).

  • Basics: Save Rights Enabled for Reader

    I have an involved Applescript that handles/creates pdfs for our clients. The only thing I need Acrobat Pro 9.4 to do is to create the Rights Enabled option for Reader and save as into a new file. Ideally, without having to use the GUI interface.
    Reading up on the API, every reference to Rights Enabled seems to be in the context of Forms, or Live Cycle. None of those would seem to be required? And there are several atomic levels that can be rights enabled, it seems, which is good. Even if I have none of these environments, is the effect of the menu command of "Enable Rights ..." the same as saving each of these options to a new pdf? I'm assuming this is an application level javascript?
    Starting to work the javascript examples in the API is frustrating because everything after "var jsNum = 10" fails to seem to work and the errors reported don't make sense in the context I'm seeing them. i'm not dumb, just inexperienced with javascript. Its frustrating when the examples copied and pasted error out, etc.
    Some pointers to guides that give me better context would be appreciated, so as not to clog the forum with newbie chatter, thanx, sam

    Thanks for explaining why I couldn't determine this.
    Thanks for the offer of explaining what I'm seeing with the basic API examples. The second one is here, from page 51, example 4.2 of the Adobe Acrobat SDK document:
    // Create a new PDF document:
    var newDoc = app.newDoc();
    // Insert doc1.pdf:
    newDoc.insertPages({
    nPage: -1,
    cPath: "Macintosh HD:tmp:1.pdf",
    // Insert doc2.pdf:
    newDoc.insertPages({
    nPage: newDoc.numPages-1,
    cPath: "Macintosh HD:tmp:2.pdf",
    // Save the new document:
    newDoc.saveAs({
    cPath: "Macintosh HD:tmp:11.pdf";
    // Close the new document without notifying the user:
    newDoc.closeDoc(true);
    SyntaxError: missing } after property list
    13:Console:Exec
    undefined
    OK, counting lines it appears to be after the newDoc.close statement. But to my way of thinking all the braces, parentheses are closed.
    I tried removing the returns after each cPath statement thinking perhaps I shouldn't have a return before the closing }); a long shot. Looking at my /tmp directory, I don't see a new pdf called 11.pdf.
    Clearly, there's something basic I'm missing here that I'm unaware of the context, thanx, sam

  • I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    You are referring to Photo Stream. Photo Stream syncs the photos taken with your device to all of your device.
    It's not a photo storage service, so photos are deleted 30 days after being added to Photo Stream. You can't access to your Photo Stream photos from http://www.icloud.com, but only from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (using the Photos app), Mac (using iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion) or PC (with iCloud Control Panel).
    In all of these devices, you have the option of copying them to the device, so they will be kept after 30 days
