Encrypted PDF's

Is it possible to view and unlock encrypted PDF's using iBooks? If not are there any other apps that can accomplish this task?
Thanks

Do you want to read PDF directly on the new released iBooks 1.1? I feel reading experience is better with EPUB format. Do you think so? Reading PDFs on iBooks is slower and doesnot support flipping pages on iPads.
SO I always stick to converting my PDFs to EPUB and transfer them on my iPad to read. And here is a detailed tutorial of How to Convert PDF to EPUB on Mac.
Hope it can do you a favor.

Conversion of postscript (converted from secure or encrypted pdf) to pdf

I have a postscript file which has been created from secure or encrypted (opening restriction) pdf.
Now when i use distiller to convert this postscript file to pdf then distiller cannot produce a pdf file.
The log file contains following text:
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
1) Is there a way to convert this postscript file into pdf ?
I have a limitation that i cannot remove security from secure pdf.
2) Do distiller provide any settings which can be changed to convert
this kind of ps(from secure pdf) to pdf.
3) Can we provide password to distiller during process of conversion to
pdf.
4) If above methods do not work then is there a way we can
programatically using Distiller Api's for conversion to pdf.
Like methods 'FileToPdf' etc.
Thanks in advance.

I am facing a similar problem.
My workflow dictates that I convert the input PDF job initially to PS and finally back to PDF. If the input PDF file is secure (it's not encrypted - you will still be able to open the document), the redistillation of PS to PDF fails while using Normalizer 6.0 && 9.0 libraries. If I use Normalizer 505 library, the redistillation succeeds. I have checked with the same generated PS on both Distiller 6.0 && 9.0, and both the versions fail to reconvert as well. I am a little surprised that 6.0 and 9.0 will fail to do something that 505 library manages.
Any suggestions?

Preserving filename when encrypting PDFs in Preview

Dear All,
When I encrypt PDFs using Preview in the normal way (Print -> PDF -> Set Security) everything works fine and the filename is preserved. However if I do this in Automator the filename gets given an alphanumeric name. I don't understand why this is. When I open that file, it asks for the password that I had originally set and it reveals the document.
My workflow is like the following:
Get Selected Finder Items (i am only selecting doc not docx)
Convert Format of Word Documents (to pdfs)
Encrypt PDF (Picked out from the Documet list)
Move Finder Items (To desktop)
Quit Application (Word in this case)
All of the above seems to be just fine only that the filename gets converted to something else.
On the system.log file I get the following entries (hope this helps!)
Feb 1 12:07:10 Macintosh [0x0-0x300300].com.apple.Preview[17593]: Sun Feb 1 12:07:10 Macintosh.home Preview[17593] <Error>: CGCryptorProcessBytes: CCCryptorUpdate failed: error -4300.

I played with the encrypt pdf action and it seems buggy. it can't replace the original (non-encrypted) pdf. instead it creates a temp file with a random alpha-numeric name and passes it to the next action. the way around it as i see it should be to first save the name of your word file in a text variable and after the encrypt action (or maybe after the move action) rename the resulting file. "rename finder items" doesn't seem to want to accept variables so you'll have to do the renaming via apple or shell script.

How to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file?

hi!
I’d like to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file I-485 from www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485.pdf
I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows XP. I firstly tried Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but the I-485 file requires password to be opened, which I don’t know.
Then I tried to print it to a PDF file, and use the Typewriter tool to fill in the form. But got error message while printing it to PDF file:
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
The I-485 file can be exported to unencrypted postscript file, but got the same error message while trying to open the ps file.
I don’t know much about pdf file, can anyone please help?
Thanks a lot!

Ask the creator of the file for a unprotected version.

Adobe 9.5.5 crashes on attempt to open encrypted pdf

Quoting from online chat that was unsuccessful in resolving this(these) question(s)
Fred: The sender said
Fred: The senter of the document says "After all voting selections have been made to the ballot, CLICK on the red “Click Here to Finalize Selections” button located on the Ballot Image at the top or bottom right hand corner. By clicking the red “Click Here to Finalize Selections” button on the ballot image, it will generate a PDF of all needed materials which include your FPCA Voter Instructions, Declared Write-In candidates, if applicable, Security Envelope, Carrier Envelope and your personal Ballot. Note: you WILL NOT be able to get back into the program if you have already clicked to finalize your selections button. After clicking “Click Here to Finalize Selections” button, the generated PDF will ask you to click Open or Save, please CLICK Save As and then specify the save location onto your computer. "
Fred: is there an online service I can use to do that?
It should be noted that the system is 64 bit Linux (Mageia 3), and Arcobat 9.5.5 is the newest version available for that system. Also, 9.5.5 seems to be able to handle "normal" pdf files without a problem, on this OS.

Trouble opening LiveCycle DRM-encrypted PDFs in Adobe Acrobat v.10.0.2

LiveCycle DRM-encrypted PDFs open fine in Adobe Acrobat v. 9, v. 10.1.7, and v. 11. Why don't they open in v. 10.0.2? Is this a known problem? My company is UNABLE to upgrade or downgrade to another version of Adobe at this time, but we need to be able to open these PDFs with version 10.0.2. What is the solution? I get the following message when attempting to open these PDFs:

pharmalib wrote:

Usually bugs are fixed in updated software versions; what kind of other solution do you expect?
Actually, looking at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/ I see that 10.0.2 has been removed completely, so this appears to have been an especially buggy version.

Metadata of encrypted PDF in iBooks

Hello everyone,
I got some encrypted PDF-files (document's content without meta-data is encrypted, opening files without keyword is possible, keyword required for modifying the file).
The meta-data of these files (author, title) are readable in applications as like Adobe Reader oder Adobe Digital Editions.
Using a Text Editor, I can see the meta-data in the XMP of the PDF-file.
Unfortunately, the author and title are shown in cryptic letters in iBooks.
Does that mean, iBooks doesn't support the XMP-Meta-data?
Is this a possible feature of upcoming versions of iBooks?
Anybody out there knowing about an other App supporting XMP in PDF?
Thanks for your input,
Thomas Mertens

How do I print to "Adobe PDF" with an encrypted pdf?

I've created a form in livecycle and I want the security to be set up as such:
1) A password is required to edit the form in LiveCycle AND
2) People can print the pdf to "Adobe PDF"
I've been able to create livecycle password access, but when I put a password on the LiveCycle Access (currently: Printing Allowed: High resolution, Changes Allowed: Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields), I get this error when I try to print it to PDF:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
How can I edit my form so I can do both.

It´s quite some time I was solving this.. but as I already wrote and I can somehow remember(as far I´m not working on this platform for 3 years): printing 150dpi is one thing - it´s printing like a simple pic. Printing in hi-res works in completely different way - pdf must be redistilled with pdf distiller or how it was called. Means, there must be additional step before printing the pdf form. Cant remember the details.

Unable to save a copy of encrypted pdf with Acrobat Pro 10.0

I create an encrypted pdf using prince a tool to convert HTML documents to pdf. I am unable to save a copy of the pdf file when i use Acrobat Pro 10.0.
It displays the following error
"The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document(21)."
However Acrobat Reader (basic) allows me to do so.
I am also able to save a copy of the document with Acrobat pro 7. I raised this issue with Prince and they told me that it could probably be a bug/unwanted behaviour with Acrobat Pro 10.0
My system environment details:
OS: Windows xp
Acrobat Pro: 10.0.0
Acrobat Reader: 10.1.0

I have tried the same program to generate PDF without Encryption and it works very fine.

Index/catalog & encrypt PDF files

Hi,
I wish to archive thousands of PDF invoices. I can do this quite easily by putting them on a CD or DVD and creating a catalog Index... however I also wish to encrypt each document and password protect it. Again this is easily achieved by creating a batch process to add Security. When I have done this the catalogue index does not work anymore - it doesn't work either when I select "Encrypt all documents except metadata (acrobat 6 and later compatible)".
Does anyone know how to index/catalog & encrypt PDF files?
I use Vista SP1 & Acrobat pro Extended 9.0.0
Thanks.
Elfed.

Print an Encrypted PDF

IN Leopard I could choose the PDF option in the Print Window and select Save as Encrypted PDF. This is gone in Snow Leopard. Does anyone know how to make an encrypted PDF without additional software? Or to edit that menu to include the Encrypted PDF option.
I did find you can do it in Preview via the Save As command, but I would like to maybe print a page from Firefox as have it become an encrypted PDF without going into Preview as a second step.
x-.-x

It allows you to assign a password for opening the document, but I do not see an encryption option. Maybe it is encrypted when using the password option. I am not sure.
Thank you for pointing out the security options. Good to know those are there.

Encrypted PDF showing as "Untitled" in iBooks reading view

I've added an encrypted PDF file to iTunes and synced it with my iPad.
Before doing so, I opened the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro and edited the metadata to include the document title (which is identical to the filename). I then password-protected it, selecting the option that encrypts all content except for metadata.
In iBooks, the PDF is displayed with its correct title in Library view but when I input the password and open it, the overlay text in Reading view says it is "Untitled".
However, if I add it to iTunes as an unencrypted PDF it displays correctly in both Library and Reading view.
I would prefer it if I could keep this file encrypted. I know it's just a minor inconvenience but I can't see why the title should fail to display in Reading view once I've opened it.

Update:
I went to the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store yesterday and was given the following steps that will remedy the problem with the PDF's
Drag and Drop PDF's directlty from MY Documents (if you are using a PC with Windows XP) and put the PDF's Directly into the Book section in the Library in iTunes.
Then Sync the iPhone in iTunes and the PDF's will display with the names you have chosen.
Do Not Email the PDF's and open them in iBooks or the PDF's will display with the name Untitled.
Note: Be sure to delete the PDF's that are displaying as "Untitled" from the iPhone first as well as the PDF's that are on iTunes as the original cryptic PDF File Name. Then Drag and Drop a fresh Copy of the PDF's and put them into iTunes. After syncing the PDF's will display in iBooks with the name you have chosen.

Why do encrypted PDfs now appear as blank pages?

Since installing Snow Leopard all of my encrypted PDFs appear as blank pages once I type in the password. I was wondering if anyone knew how and if this can be fixed.

I'm sorry, but in what way?
Do you mean the encrypted document you want to view shows nothing but a blank page when you give the password?
Or do you mean the icon for the PDF is blank and doesn't show a preview? I'd imagine that's because it's encrypted and so probably assumes a preview shouldn't be shown.
Or do you mean encrypting the PDF document causes the document to initially appear blank? Is it still blank once you close it, reopen it and provide the password?
Maybe some steps of what you are doing so it can be replicated by others to try out, too.
