Distributing Password Protected PDF's via Information Broadcasting

Is it possible to password protect a distributed report (pdf format) using individual Member's unique password?
Then, can we easily administer the (e.g. user-create/e-mail confirmation) the actual passwords?

What about the Java Cryptography Extension framework for PDFs?
Can NetWeaver support this....
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/pdfencryption.html
Environment
In order to use PDF encryption, FOP has to be compiled with cryptography support. Currently, only JCE is supported. JCE is part of JDK 1.4. For earlier JDKs, it can be installed separately. The build process automatically detects JCE presence and installs PDF encryption support if possible, otherwise a stub is compiled in.

Can't open password protected PDF files.

As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

Password Protected PDF Files in Elementary OS

I have installed Acrobat 9.5.5 on my Elementary OS (Ubuntu base) system but when I try to open a password protected PDF file from my bank Acrobat fails with the error "There was an error opening this document. An updated version of Acrobat is needed in order to open this document.".
The version that I have installed claims to be 9.5.5 04/26/2013.
Has anyone got any pointers?
Thanks

Well, first, you probably don't have Acrobat 9.5.5 installed on Ubuntu unless you are running a VM image or using WINE to do so. You are probably using Adobe Reader 9.x. If a file was encrypted for Acrobat X and later then you do actually need Adobe Reader version 10.x or later. Unfortunately there isn't a version 10.x for UNIX/LINUX. What to do? Use a VM or WINE and load it up that way. If you really are running Acrobat 9.5.5 on Ubuntu via a VM image or WINE then you need to load Adobe Reader 10.x or Adobe Reader 11.x.

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.

How to display in browser a password protected pdf file I created?

I created a password protected pdf file.
I want to display the file in browser so that viewers can only view it online.
It is better that viewers cannot download it.
But I donot know how to prevent viewers downloading the file.
Since the pdf is password protected, viewers don't have the password even they download it.
But how can I display the password protected pdf file in browser when I know the password?
Or is there a better to just viewers see the pdf file online and prevent them from downloading and printing it?

Any file on the web has to be copied to the local machine in order for the file content to be presented to the viewer. That's how the "www" is built. So, to make use of your web based PDF the file has to be downloaded to the local machine. This might be to the local machine's temporary internet / browser cache or (via a 'save this to my computer') to some other location on the local machine's HDD. Bottom line -- web based files get downloaded this is the case for protected file or a non-protected file.
Be well...

Creating password protected PDF

I can create a pdf file using com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter and other classes in com.lowagie.text
But I want to make my PDF password protected. Is there any way to make it password protected while using com.lowagie.text API.

I could link you to the page that gives the answer directly, but I feel it is my duty to inform you that google will provide the answer with a very simple query: "iText password protected PDF" gave me the answer in a second.

Any way to password protect pdf document when emailing?

Is there any way to password protect an adobe document when emailing like you would a word document?

Hi bcanino,
You can apply security to a PDF using Acrobat (apply an Open Document password, a Document Permissions password, or both). For more information, see PDF passwords, protected PDF, file permissions | Adobe Acrobat XI
I hope that helps.

Password Protect PDF's ??

Hello,
I currently have Adobe Reader XI and was wondering how, or what software is needed to be able to password protect pdf's so that we can securely send our clients information. Thanks!

Sorry. Been out ill for a couple of days.
If you don't care whether your clients mess with the documents, you can always Zip the files first and add password security to the Zip file. But yeah, don't count on the security set by Adobe to keep people out. As mentioned, it's mostly just honored by other Adobe products.

Edit multiple password-protected PDFs using Photoshop CS5 Javascript scripting.

Good Evening,
Situation: I have a huge stack of PDF files and I'm using Photoshop CS5 to slice out previews and other things automatically, using a self-built javascript. Some (100+) of these PDFs are password-protected. I have the password to these files.
Problem: Every time the script tries to open one of the protected PDFs it will open a popup, stop the whole process and wait for the user to input the password.
Question: Is there a way to add the password to the open command of the app.open(...) function? Or more simply put, can this be fully automated?
What I looked at so far: "PDFOpenOptions", "app.open(...)", the javascript reference("photoshop_cs5_javascript_ref.pdf") in general.
Basic Example code:
var f = new File("path to some password protected PDF");
var d = app.open(f); //this will trigger the password popup
doSomethingWithMyDocument(d);
d.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have access to Photoshop CS6 as well, if that somehow solves the problem.
If I'm looking at a dead-end, feel free to tell me too.

It is possible to do that via Scripting.
If you are unable to create such a Script maybe you should look up the chapter »Creating data-driven graphics« in the documentation.

Mavericks Preview Opens Password Protected PDF?

I exported a image in CS6 Illustrater as a pdf. I saved the pdf using two passwords. One password was for opening it and the second one for editng it. It was saved with any editing turned off. When I opened it in Preview on Mavericks the Preview app correctly displayed a password textfield to open it. After I entered the password it opened correctly. When I attempted a basic edit of the pdf, a simple rotatation of the image, Preview displayed a little note indicating that the original document was password protected so it made a copy of the original pdf. I was then free to edit the copy in Preview such as rotate, add txt, and so forth. I don't think this is going to make many people who distribute and sell password protected pdf files that happy. What the heck is going on here?

It looks like this issue may be limited to files that have been set to restrict the user's ability to print or edit the document (even after a password has been entered for viewing). I found that a password-protected PDF could be viewed in iBooks, but after I added the print restriction, I had the same problem you reported.

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.

How to read a password protected pdf on a surface pro 2?

Has anyone been able to successfully open a password protected PDF on a Surface Pro 2? The Adobe Reader app doesn't work on the surface pro 2 with protected PDFs.

Use Adobe Reader XI, the regular Adobe Reader for any Windows system.

Password protected PDF in iBooks not displaying

I loaded a password protected PDF into my iTunes library and then synced it with iPad (4th gen iOS 6.1.3). I see the PDF in iBooks on the iPad and when I click on it, it prompts for the password. I input the password and PDF "opens" but it's just the blank grey screen showing page 1/1 (it's supposed to be a 79 page document). Any ideas? I took the password off the document and loaded that one into iTunes then my iPad and it displays just fine. I did this same sequence with a different document and with the password it didn't display and without the password it did display.
If there is an issue with iBooks, any way to sideload this into Adobe Reader, or somehow "Open in" Adobe Reader from iBooks?
Thanks
Dan

Password-protected PDF demands password in triplicate

I'm having problems with a password-protected PDF (created in Acrobat Pro 8 ) which opens fine with a single entry of the password when downloaded but when website visitors try to open the form directly in their browser it keeps asking for the password and will only open on the third password attempt (by when most visitors will have given up on it). Could you please tell me what is causing this phenomenon and whether I can fix it? TIA.
