Establishing Security Settings

How do I establish security settings for acrobat.com, such as setting a password to open it? The only .PDF
software I use is acrobat.com.
I used to have Create .PDF online and I could easily establish the settings there.

Hello there,
Thanks for posting. Although the PDF conversion service at Acrobat.com is similar to the old Create PDF service, it isn't identical, and unfortunately it is not possible to apply security settings to a PDF document using Acrobat.com. If, however, you apply security settings to the file with Adobe Acrobat desktop software, Acrobat.com will honor those settings by preventing the document from being previewed; the viewer will have to download the file and open it in Acrobat or Reader, both of which will require the user to adhere to the security restrictions. We hope to add more features to Acrobat.com's PDF functionality, so I encourage you to stay tuned for updates to the service.
Please let me know if I can offer any more information about this subject.
Best regards,
Rebecca

  • Change Flash Security Settings? Security Manager Offline?

    Hello
    I have downloaded firefox and flash player, I have content
    which when I run it, flash blocks it wisely and reports that the
    page is trying to access other content etc.
    I need to allow the accessing to other content but I dont
    have internet at home, I understand I need the global manager
    security settings panel which of course shows fine on this intenet
    conencted machine but at home it just brings up a dead URL because
    of no tcp/adsl etc.
    I am sure this is a standard question answered millions of
    times before Im sorry to bother you guys, Have a great year every
    one and good luck Adobe.

    The reason you can't access it offline is because adobe flash
    player is effectively a trojan. There is absolutely no reason to
    not have local, offline access to adjust settings to a local piece
    of software, even if it is a plug-in. That goes to the heart of it
    right there. The settings are stored locally, so what the hell is
    the GSM doing? Well, it's doing what it specifically says it is not
    going to do (on the GSM page) and modifies personal data on your
    system. These settings may be benign but the method employed is
    typical virus behavior. Adobe has never given a reason because they
    know they have a front door into everyone's machine that made the
    mistake of installing the flash player plug-in. Even microsoft had
    a big deal about it because they put it in the WinXP install and
    sure enough, flash player had a huge security hole. They knew it
    and did nothing. Adobe knew it and didn't care.
    You might look for a hack that modifies the settings locally
    rather than relying on a known virus-type of access that adobe
    clearly wants to your system.
    Adobe should be set on fire for this kind of behavior.
    btw:
    check out this file: (it'll be on your local machine)
    \documents and settings\(your username)\application
    data\macromedia\flash
    player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\
    and the file is
    settings.sol (it's a binary file)
    SWF should never be allowed to modify anything, it's supposed
    to play animations, yet adobe's ocx (the plug-in) seems to do just
    that without any notification or warning that it's going to do
    something to your local system. Again, this is classic virus
    behavior; performing some unwanted/unwarranted task(s) without
    notice. I've play with the flash maker before, I remember you could
    do some things with clickable links. But nowhere do I recall it
    giving the ability to modify someones local files, that was just
    too much freedom.
    adobe needs to either fix this or drop flash player. I know
    it's fairly prevalent on the web, but with security risks like
    these that adobe doesn't want to fix it's just dynamite. Better
    yet, how about make our flash swf files able to access adobes'
    internal network? Sounds fair to me.
    You'll also probably see a bunch (or just a few or even none)
    of directories that start with # in the ...\sys directory. Under
    which each one may have another settings.sol file. If you do a
    little research on the web you can find a ton of people who've had
    security holes opened because of entries in these files. adobe may
    want to deny it but you can read about it all over the place. adobe
    flash player has even been at issue with rootkits (look them up,
    quite nasty) and the problems that go with them. So yeah, adobe
    reached a new low the first time I saw that.
    It's crap software like this that gets unleashed on the
    unsuspecting public and techs like myself have to clean it up.
    Furthermore, we have to try and find alternatives to what has
    become too well-established. Flash became popular before people
    really paid any attention to what adobe was actually doing on their
    systems. That's why everytime I have to uncorrupt a system I go
    looking for things like the flash player plugin. Some days it's so
    bad I'd like to see a plane hit the adobe hq, that'd be some
    justice.
    If only companies like adobe would release trustworthy
    software, yeah, I'm still looking for the pigs with wings.
    And yet still more bs: while almost every piece of software
    I've ever installed goes into it's own directory or under
    ..\program files\... look where adobe puts itself. Deep inside
    ...\Windows\...
    Here's where I found mine
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\
    with several different directories under there. Like a damn
    tick it burrowed itself into the main windows directory. Which is
    also typical of a virus.

  • Safari Fails to Open Page- Cannot Establish Secure Connection

    I am using Safari at my home comuputer (Dell, Windows XP. I recently installed it within the past two weeks. Just this Sunday, I noticed that there are several pages that I haven't been able to view and the same message "Safari can’t open the page “https://cavs.bpcc.edu/” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “cavs.bpcc.edu”" pops up, except it uses the current URL.
    I have to open it in Internet Explorer to view it. What's the deal? I tried looking at my security settings.

    I have the same problem on my macbook. Happens for certain sites.
    I get the same or similar message from safari and opera.
    It doesn't happen on my imac, which is sitting on the same wireless network.
    Any ideas please?

  • MacBook Pro "cannot establish secure connection"

    MacBook Pro "cannot establish secure connection" can't connect to Internet, tried on two separate networks and via wifi and Ethernet. Any suggestions??
    Mac book was connected and working then started giving error message "failed to establish secure connection" now cannot connect to Internet via any network. Either by wifi or Ethernet. However in network settings it says it is connected. iTunes also cannot connect so don't think it is a safari problem. Have also checked networks with other devices and the network itself seems to be working.
    Have further problems with syncing phone (doesn't seem to registering removal of music, storage is not freeing up) but I am hoping that solving Internet connection may solve that problem as well
    Apologies if i am posting in the wrong place!
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated as I am stuck.

  • Importing Security Settings

    I clicked on import security settings and out of curiosity I tried importing a blank .txt file.  I received a failed message.  Did I hurt or messed up Adobe Reader X's security by trying this?
    What does import security settings do?

    Oh dear, you shouldn't have done that...
    But seriously, you could not have done any damage. It's for quickly establishing various security settings, usually form a previously exported security settings file. It is typically something and IT support person would do to easily configure the various security-related settings for a user.

  • When previewing my website in Dreamweaver flash crashed - I need to change the security settings but don't know how to do this

    I use Dreamweaver and Adobe Bridge to create slide shows on my website. When 'previewing' the slideshow - in Dreamweaver it opens Firefox - it crashed and the dialogue box opens telling me to change my 'settings' - it doesn't do this if I preview in IE - which I don't understand. I need help in knowing where to go to change the security settings so that this doesn't happen. Incidentally, when I am on the web through Firefox, my website slideshows work perfectly>

    You can set the pref dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to to -1 on the about:config page to disable the timeout.
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • Security settings changing. Is there a work around?

    Hello,
    I work for a "Company" that has ten's of thousands computers loaded with the latest version of Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately when we create a form in Adobe  Acrobat 9 Pro it cannot be signed by anyone using Adobe Reader X. Some how the security settings are changing when the form is open in Reader X. When the form is opened using Acrobat 9 Standard the form can be signed...the security settings have remain the same as when we built it in Pro. Is there a work around or something I have missed? This is a rather urgent issue as it will be effecting our whole "Company" and in the meantime we have been told to use another product until a solution is found. Your input is greatly appreciated!

    The usage rights must be enabled in Acrobat Pro.

  • How can I get a downloaded application to run when security settings won't allow it?

    I am trying to run an application today that I downloaded from Safari. I run this every single business day by control - clicking to open it in Finder. Today it won't allow me to open it all because of my security settings. When I temporarily remove my security settings it still will not let me open it. How can I run an application every time, when I want to run it, regardless of my security settings?
    I am using Safari, Mavericks, and MacBook Pro.

    Your control is allowing the app to run or not. I'm not sure what other type of control you could possibly mean since any app, once running, does whatever it does; you can't control any app past that point.
    If you prefer not to disable the settings in the System Preferences, then right click on the app and choose Open. That will allow that app to run while still leaving the basic security feature on. You only need to do this once. The app will be assumed as trusted after that.

  • Security Settings in Robohelp 9 PDF files

    I think this is a Robohelp problem because it only happens when I launch a PDF from  a Robohelp-generated site. It does NOT happen in Adobe Acrobat. It may be a conflict with Windows 7 - we just loaded it yesterday - because before that everything worked.
    We created a PDF file with interactive fields, and NO security settings. The file has signature fields that populate with your digital ID when you click the red tag. It works just fine in Acrobat - you can type data into the fields, and the digital ID dialog launches when you click the red tag. If you click OK, the field displays your digital signature.
    However, when I launch the file from online help I created with Robohelp 9, I get an error message stating that the security settings on the document don't allow adding text or placing a signature on it. I double checked, and there is NO security. See the attached images. Is this a bug? Should I report it?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    I'm wondering if the following is happening to you.
    When in Acrobat, you are viewing the document differently and able to make edits. When you are opening the PDF from RoboHelp (or more accurately, the browser) you are presenting it from the PDF reader and not Acrobat. Thus you have different capabiities.
    Cheers... Rick

    Seeing a bunch of SSL related posts today so is likely a bug in OSX 10.9 but probaby not fixable until a fix is released.

  • How do I deal with "StartUpItems if2k" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings?

    Whenever I turn on or restart my MBP, a dialog box appears saying --> “/Library/StartupItems/if2k” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings. 
    How can I fix this? 
    First, I searched online and found a site with a If2k_Remover_V2.zip file, but whenever I try to open the link, a page comes up saying,
    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /w/files/if2k/If2k_Remover_V2.zip on this server.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Also, I see the if2k folder in the Library/StartUpItems; is it something I can just drag into the Trash?  Or would that be a bad move?

    Did you ever figure this out? I just upgraded to Lion on my Air and I have the same issue.

  • How to Change Security Settings on an Existing Wireless Network

    I'd like to change existing network security settings to WPA2, AES or at least to from TKIP to AES.
    I'm familiar with browser access to the router and with how to change the settings on the router.
    My question is how to do this as painlessly as possible for the network.  Step by step would be nice
    I guess first I have to change the router settings using the computer running Easy Link Advisor?
    Do I then have to disconnect/reconnect that computer?
    Do I have to disconnect every other computer and then connect each one again with the updated settings?
    Will the change in security settings affect my print server?  If so, do I have to set it up from scratch in ELA?
    For the record, I have a WRT-300N and the print server is a 54g.
    Anyone who reads this may also want to look into recent news.  May not be a big deal, but a vulnerability of WPA/TKIP has been identified.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

    Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my  network and none were available. Does that matter?
    The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
    So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
    Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
    Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
    Thanks,for any help

  • How to change security settings in Flash Player if internet is unavailable?
