Can I create a new document with a locked PDF file, add new pages, and lock it all again?

I published a PDF document ten years ago and now want to add Creative Commons licensing language to the copyright page. But I forgot the password! I gather from the Forum that there is no way to recover the password. However, I wonder if I can take the locked PDF file, create a new document (adding a new page for the licensing information), then lock the whole thing up again. Will this work? Thanks for your help!

To create an unprotected file you would need the password.

Preview issue working with a locked PDF file

I am able to open and view a locked PDF file using the Preview application. Unfortunately, searching does not work within the locked PDF. Opening this locked PDF in Adobe reader does allow searching to work.
Does anyone know why Preview cannot search a locked PDF even though it does appear to open successfully?

Hi RichGory & welcome to the forums.
Preview with Snow Leopard is very different.
If searching is critical to your workflow, best to move to Acrobat.

How can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe 9 pro ?

how can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe acrobae 9 pro ?

With Clear Scan you get the text replacing the graphics of text. That can be edited. If you do searchable PDF conversion, you can still edit (I think). However it is an edit of the hidden layer of text behind the graphic and does not show on screen normally.
Usually the best choice is to ask the author for the original file to edit. If that is a copyright issue, then you should not be editing anyway.

You can use PDF Buddy, the online PDF editor that makes it easy to add text, images, and annotations on top of scanned PDF files.

Can't Edit .txt and .pdf files in EP6 KM

We just migrated our last application from EP5 to EP6, and now we're having problems with not being able to edit .txt and .pdf files. The problem is that the files will only open in the browser rather than in their native programs (wordpad/notepad, Adobe Editor, etc). Surely others have encountered this issue. Are there any solutions short of installing 3rd party tools?

Hi Jeff,
Which program opens on a link depends on two things:
1. The MIME-Type that is sent from the server together with the resource (file) you requested by clicking a link
2. Your Windows Setting defining which local application should be used for which MIME Type.
So there may be two things happening:
1. EP 6 is sending other (or no) MIME Types with the KM resources. You can check this in your KM configuration. See KM -> Services -> MIME Service
2. Your OS got the settings for apps/MIMEs changed. This happens e.g. if you changed on Win XP to SP 2.
So here may be a solution:
Go to Windows Explorer->Tools->Folder
Options->File Types, click on the TXT extention, and click
"Delete". Then proceed to recreate the TXT file type with the
default app you want (notepad).
IE will open your app (notepad) for links to text files from that point
on.
So, to check this for text files, open the registry editor, go to
"My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt" (or .TXT), and check for a 'String
Value' with the value "text/plain".
This should work with any file type, as long as you use the right MIME Type (See KM configuration / MIME Services).
HTH,
Carsten

Editing text from pdf file

how to edit text from pdf file?

Adobe Reader does not allow editing the text of a PDF document. You will need to get Acrobat on your Windows or Mac to do that.

Batch lock PDF files

We mostly have Acrobat 9 or X standard licenses and few Pro 9. What I'm looking for is the ability to batch lock PDF files before we post them to consultants or partners.
I know you can lock each PDF via Standard. Pro gives you the ability to batch do it but it makes no sense to upgrade 40 licenses just for that feature. Last resort option would be to create multipage PDFs and lock that vs. the individual but I'd like the ability to do the individual.
The files are being locked down to print at 150dpi only. That way the PDF's can't be imported into Illustrator and saved out to a CAD file.

Hello
We look exactly for the same. A Batch Script to have multiple files merged in one PDF. Can you please also send me a PM for further Information?
Thanks a lot
regards
Stefan

I can't edit multi page PDF file in Illustrator at once.

I made 30-page PDF file in Illustrator last week.
Yesterday my co-woker eited and sent to me.
but i can't open 30-pages all in once
instead of this window pops up and only 1 page of all open it.
How do I open all the page and edit it once without any script?
Last week I Could open it without asking.

Keep a backup of the .ai file. Your coworker should not be making edits to pdfs, only commenting tools. Tell your coworker not to do that again, unless they know what they are doing (eg: are creating from scripts). If they persist, or this is your boss, lock the PDF with security protection.
This script may help you. Keep in mind the popular pdf preset smallest file size converts to RGB, so your color will change and l;ayers possibly flattentin if Illustrator editing capabilites is lost.

Editing Image From PDF File To Use in AI Document

Hello,
I am a beginner user of AI and am having trouble with editing certain images from PDF files on Illustrator. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to do can be done on Illustrator or requires Photoshop.
A) Here is the first example (Note that this is only similar to the type of image I am talking about. It is not the exact one as I don't have access to it right now):
So let's say here are the things I want to do. (1) Extract it from the PDF file, (2) transfer it to my AI document without blurriness, (3) change the white background of the image to another color (eg. grey), (4) and embolden the lines presently in the image. If you can advise what's the way to perform these tasks?
I have used image trace at times but if the photo is too light, portions of it will vanish. The portions that do remain become way too bold. It would be great if there was a way I could make most if not each components of the image controllable/movable. Is it possible?
Also, what if I want to erase some of the text on the image? I have tried using the eraser tool but it does not erase on images.
B) How would I go about removing the background of a photo like this and replacing it with a color?
Please keep in mind that I am a complete neophyte when it comes to using Illustrator, Photoshop etc so take this into consideration when explaining. Thanks in advance

Trent,
To make a clear and clean drawing like A), it is better to use the image as a locked template and recreate with the native tools; most things can be made with the Rectangle Tool and the Ellipse Tool, some with the Line Segment Tool or the Pen Tool; and you can use different Window>Pathfider operations.
It is probably easier to get rid of the surroundings in B) using Photoshop where you can erase colours within a range; the grass seen through the windows may be treated by itself, and you may wish to keep the shadow.

How to edit a downloaded .pdf file?

Hi! Have a downloaded .pdf file, (application for employment form) My options are to print out/fill out. I want to know if there is a way that I can edit the application so that I can fill it out on line (Neater) then print. Between a 2004 version of Word, plus Keynote, Pages and Adobe 8, I can't edit the application. I called Apple and they said there is no way that I edit a pdf file so that I can complete the application on line. There must be a way to do this, right? Thanks, Bill

Yes, there is a way. First, if check the security on the pdf. Adobe has many levels of security, so that files can be printed but not edited and not made into smaller files, etc.
Usually you would need the real Adobe app, not the reader. But then, even though Adobe can edit pdf files, it will not do so if the file is protected. You normally would be asked for a password when you attempt to modify a PW-protected pdf document.
That all being said, if the document is protected I can only refer you to ghostscript, ghostview and GSView.

Editing text in pdf file

I just bought Adobe Acrobat and was told that I would be able edit text in a pdf file I open. However I can't figure out how to do this?
I can select the text but can't edit/change it?

The Adobe Reader for SymbianOS isn't a PDF editor. You'd need Acrobat
for that, using the Text Touch-up Tool.

Prevent editing of a PDF file saved/exported from Preview?

I would like to create a PDF file that is viewable without a password but should not be editable either in Preview or any other software.
What is happening now?
I created a PDF file by placing rectangle boxes on confidential info as shown below. I save it as a PDF file. However, the recipient is able to easily delete or move the rectangle boxes I have placed on this file. I want to prevent this behavior so that I can mask all the confidential info.
I tried to set 'Security Options" when trying to Save as PDF. But that only prevents copying or printing but doesn't disable 'editing'.
Please help.

You can print your PDF file to PDF. This will make all edits permanent.
To do that, you go under File/Print, choose Save as PDF in the drop-down PDF menu in the lower left corner of the dialog box, give the file a new name, click save and that's it.
Best,
Philippe
