Edit Protected Document in Adobe Acrobat DC

Unfortunately, I am on my work iPad and Adobe updated on it's own. Everything was fine and now the Adobe Acrobat DC is all different. I would like to edit a document that is protected. I created it, I didn't protect it, why is it protected? I can type in the boxes but I cannot sign. When I send it to Fill & Sign, my text disappears.
Again, I created it and didn't protect it, how do I change this?

I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

If the files have a permissions password, you need to know it, and remove security, before you can edit the files. That is correct.

How do I edit a map in adobe acrobat?

Hello? I have a document in adobe acrobat that I am using adobe reader to view. It is a map of my workplace and I'd like to make some alterations to this map. How do I do this? Can I do this? Do I need a full version of adobe and not just the reader? Do I need adobe illustrator?

You might be able to use Illustrator (for vector graphics) or Photoshop (for images) if you set up Acrobat to use them in the preferences. A much better approach is to see if you can edit the map in whatever program was used to create it in the first place, create a new PDF and replace the old page with the new in Acrobat.

Extending a document in Adobe Acrobat if you have purchased and own LiveCycle Reader Extensions

I work for an organization that has purchased adobe livcycle designer suite which includes Livecycle reader extensions. However we do not really have a need (besides perhaps per the EULA), nor the technical support to extend reader documents using the server based LiveCycle Reader extensions. We will definitly be collecting info from over 500 receipients so per the adobe acrobat license agreement:
16.8.3 For any unique Extended Document, Customer may only (a) Deploy that Extended Document to an unlimited number of recipients, but Customer shall not extract data from more than five hundred (500) instances of such Extended Document (or any hardcopy representation of that Extended Document) that contains data from a recipient; or (b) Deploy an Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) recipients without limits on the number of times Customer may extract data from a recipient from that Extended Document. Obtaining additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite shall not increase
the foregoing limits (that is, the foregoing limits are the aggregate total limits regardless of how many additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite the Customer may have obtained). For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer purchases another Adobe product or service that allows Customer to send a greater number of PDF files or forms (e.g. Adobe FormsCentral or Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions), then the terms of that Adobe product or service shall supersede the terms of this Section 16.8.3
Given the very last sentence, it sounds me like since my organization has provided me with a copy of LiveCycle Reader extensions I can extend the adobe document using adobe acrobat if I wish, and still be within the terms of the EULA, is this the correct interpretation? I would prefer not to actually use the LiveCycle reader extensions as once again we do not have the technical support, nor the need for this server based solutions.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for providing the detailed description of the problem.
The contents of the password-protected PDF document are encrypted (so that nobody can read the contents until the correct password is entered).
Acrobat DC mobile products (for iOS and Android) have the known limitation where changes cannot be saved to encrypted PDF documents. Therefore, users are not able to make any changes (e.g. adding comments/annotations or filling out forms) to encrypted PDF documents.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Unable to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat DC

i am unable to edit a file in adobe acrobat dc i have tried with multiple files and everytime i click edit pdf it get a pop up that says adobe acrobat dc has encountered an unknown error however i have been able to edit a few pdf's i tried everything from re downloading a new file to saving it in acrobat reader and nothing is working please help

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
Best,
Sara

While creating a PDF document usinf Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it generates additional blank pages.

While creating a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it generates additional blank pages. How do I resolve this issue?

I might make a wild guess that you are using WORD and have used hard page breaks. If that is the case, then likely what happens is when you print to PDF the document is being reflowed to match the printer and the forced page break may end up on the next page and be forcing a second page. Just a guess.

How to scan legal size document with Adobe Acrobat 6.0?

How do you scan legal (8.5 x 14.0) size documents with Adobe Acrobat 6.0.0 ? There is no option for that size paper in the scan menu. And I can't find the answer in either my help file or on-line with Adobe.com. Can anyone help me?

I use a HP OfficeJet G85. I have no problem copying/printing legal (8.5 x 14) size documents with that all-in-one unit. So I assumed it should be able to send the image it collected to my Adobe Acrobat program instead of to the printer. Am I missing something? Or should I put the question to HP instead of Adobe?

Rotate document in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hi All
How do I custom rotate a document in Adobe Acrobat Pro? I see that there is the option to rotate by 90 or 180 degrees but how do I rotate by just 1 or 10 degrees?
Thank you for your help!

Not possible to arbitrarily rotate the entire page even through JavaScript. You can rotate objects on the page but not the entire page. You will need to either use another Adobe Tool that can rotate pages in varying degrees like Photoshop or a third party tool.

I cannot print oversized, poster, document in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.10). The "POSTER" button is gray'ed out.

Point 1: try turning on "Show large images" in your preferences. In Acrobat for Windows, it's under the Page Display preferences. I'm not sure about OS X.

I cannot print pdf documents from Adobe Acrobat

When I open up a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat, I am unable to print it. If I try and use an HP Laserjet 1606 laser printer Acrobat crashes. When I use either an HP Office Jet 7000 wide format ink jetprinter or a Brother MFC 3360C multi function ink jet printer I either get an error message that says "This document cannot be printed" or Acrobat crashes.
I can print using the Preview program.

How do I edit a pdf document in adobe acrobat 9 extended?

I tried to edit a seachable pdf file in adobe acrobat 9
extended and it wont work. It just highlights the word but won't
let me delete it and change it. Any ideas? I thought I tired
everything.

Just as you cannot post on this forum without creating an
account, you will need to create an account on the Acrobat forums
in order to post.
The title of these forums clearly indicate they are for
Acrobat.com users and not users of the Acrobat desktop software.
You will also find a post outlining this as the first post in the
General Discussions forum, where I see you have also posted your
same question and gotten the same answers.
Do
you need support for Acrobat 9? or Acrobat.com?
Just as we would not provide answers for other Adobe products
such as InDesign or Illustrator on the Acrobat.com forums, we will
not be providing support for the Acrobat desktop product on these
forums as it is a separate product from Acrobat.com. I understand
that the names are similar so this can certainly cause you some
confusion, but you will need to proceed to the Acrobat forums in
order to ask questions about your Acrobat product. As you have been
told several times by several different support agents, these
forums are not related to the Acrobat desktop product and the
support agents on this forum do not support the Acrobat desktop
product on this forum. You have been directed to a forum where you
can ask for support on the product you are using, please continue
on to that forum. The support you are requesting cannot be
delivered on this forum.

Are parts of a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat Pro able to be secured so that once the recipient fills out a specific section, signs it, and submits it to the original sender, that information filled out is locked from editing for security purposes? If so,

I have an application I'm submitting to our school website for potential students to fill out. There are sections for the student(s) to fill out as well as sections for staff to fill out. For the sake of security for the student filling out the form, I'd like to set it up so that once the student has filled out the proper sections and submits the information, any information filled out and signed by the student is locked from editing on my part. I only need to read what the student filled out and signed, then add my notes to Staff sections. Is this possible? If so, how? I need details!

You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.

How do I change the order of files and documents in adobe acrobat 9, in the Portfolio??

I have been searching for 3.5 hours now and can't find the answer to this. Please help! I have created a portfolio in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which has three files and three documents, the last step is just to arrange them in the right order. If you can please list step by step.
THANK YOU!!!!!!

I think you can remove suggestions from the address bar by arrowing down to the unwanted site on the auto-suggest drop-down list and pressing Delete.
Make sure to arrow to another site or edit the address before pressing Enter or using Go, because that deleted URL will still be the address bar.
Does that work?
