Document Open Password

Guys, how do I set a password for my document files to keep it private for viewing?  Any answer would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. 

In the program that created the files you should be able to Lock, password protect, those files.
If you want to password protect a folder then you will need to jump through some hoops to do that.
But the real question is why do you want to do this? If you think someone else will view your files then Protect the complete computer by setting a Login password and or a Boot EFI password and restrict other from using your computer.

  • Forget document opening password

    If you don't remember your own password, no one can help you with that issue.  There are apps that claim to break passwords but I have never tried them.

    How do I obtain a Document Open password

    Hi db61225641,
    Do you have  PDF file that prompts for a password when you try to open it? If so, you will need to contact the person who created the PDF to obtain the password. That is the only way to open the PDF.
    Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • What is a document open password?

    what is a document open PW?  never heard of it before and don't know what mine is.

    It is a password the creator of the form added so others cannot open the PDF without it. You need to contact the person or department that sent you the PDF and ask for the password.

  • With a document open password - is there a way to ask only once per session?

    Here's my scenario:  User is reading a "password to open" document that contains links to other web pages, etc.  The user clicks on a link, goes to the new page, then uses the back button/back key to return to the password protected document, where they must type in the password to open again, and must do this every time they click a link then later attempt to return to the document. 
    Is there a way around the repeated retyping / reentering / rekeying the password?  (My guess is no, but I'll ask anyway).  The user did type in their password, most of the time just a minute or two earlier, before they clicked on the link in the password protected document. 
    P.S. I have a couple other questions, indirectly related (byproducts) to this general topic.  I'll post those in their appropriate forum, then edit this post with links to those posts.  FYI, the other posts are/will be:
    Is there a better way than manually adjusting each and every link in a document to use javascript and repeating that process each time the document is updated, to make links open in new windows, (when viewing a pdf from within a browser window).  [Edit:  here's that link:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5055202#5055202 ]
    Is there a way from an html page or from something within a PDF document (at the discretion of the document's author) to open a pdf in the acrobat reader window instead of in the browser, without asking each user to change their reader settings?  [Edit:  I ended up asking this question in the same post listed above]

    Once the instance of Acrobat or Reader containing a password-protected PDF file has been closed, you can't avoid having to re-enter the password. If the links don't target a new tab or window, then the browser will unload the plugin - and aside from changing all the link targets, you can't prevent that.

    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?
