How can I send a file that CAN NOT be printed or saved by the recipient?

Impossible. PDF files don't stream, so they cannot be opened until they've been saved.
You can truly prevent printing by using DRM, or ask nicely by using a permissions password (though that's ignored by non-Adobe software).

How do I send a file that is 2 mb via adobe send file now. I have the student version of cs 6

How do I send a file that is 2 mb via adobe send file now. I have the student version of cs 6. Does this cost money, or can I send a certain size for free. I just want to send a file so I can access it on my ipad. It's a PDF that is too large to email.

Adobe Send can certainly do that.
Or you can do it manually:
upload the file to Acrobat.com
check the file on the Acrobat.com site and click Send
use Create Anonymous Link and click the Create Link button
copy the created download link and send it by email

How to read contents of files that do not fall under public security group?

Hi,
I need to read the contents of a WCM based xml file that does not fall under public security.
The process is like this:
First the user makes chnages to the content.
The workflow will be triggred based on the security group metadata that is associated with the content.
Once the content is finally approved our workflow calls a custom idoc script.
First we tried directly reading the xml contents from the idoc script which was still in the context of workflow. But since content item is still in workflow I was not able to read the changes. So I created a separate content publisher thread and read the DOC_INFO and checked for the dStatus value. If the value is RELEASED then I reading contents by calling ssIncludeXml idoc script.
This was working fine for public content. But now the requirement is that all content cannot be public. Content authors should not be able to edit the content that does not belong to their group, So we created security groups (and roles) and are associating that groups to the relavent content.
Beacuse of this change I am not not able to read the non public content. The call to DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service, which gives all the content files' metadata, is expecting the user to be logged in to give the details.
I tried calling the CHECKIN service with sysadmin and captured the cookies returned by that service and use cookies for the DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service call. But the service call was faling. It is throing the 401 forbidden error with the message that user needs to be logged in to get the details.
How to address this problem. Someone please help.
Note: I also tried using ridc for this. I was able to get it working but since it is executing in the context of server ridc api is changing server's environment properties like HTTP_HOST, HTTP_CGIPATHROOT etc. It also seemed like system was becoming non functional after using ridc. When I called check-in the system metadata values like security group are no more loading. Not sure if ridc is the culprit here but worried that it might be causing this issue.

Sorry, I posted too much details while posting this question. I was saying "not able to read *non* public content".
Anyway, I was able to resolve the issue. I was able to authenticate with sysadmin credentials in the request to service using basic authentication and was able to read doc info with that credential.
But I realized there is more than option for reading secure content.
- I could set user name as sysadmin in the m_environment (if I am in the context of a service) and the call the DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service.
- I can post an HTTP request to DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service with sysadmin credentials and do basic authorization via the connection. (This is what i have done successfully as of now )
- I could add guest role to all security groups with R (read) privileges.
I will look into all options and implement the one which is more apt.

I downloaded and erase a few things here and there and ever since I did that I feel a slight differnce in the power of my book.. and I am completely new to mac so I am not sure how to navigate through everything completely just yet. I know how to use finder etc. but like is there a way to just look at recent files that are not natural to a mac so i can delete them
I have the brand new Macpro btw i dont think that should make a differnce with any of the answers but just incase.....
I thank you guys in advance for any help I can get I love making sure I have no trash or malware on my computer that i just paid 3k for

I'm afraid that my way and Tom's way of perceiving your question are quite different. It would be confusing to have two people dragging you into different realms of troubleshooting, so I will leave this question for you and Tom to work out. To many cooks spoil the broth.
Below is my treatise on trying to fix slow computers:
Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                  The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                  The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                  The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                  Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
    used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
    requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
    drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

How can i delete a file that is not working?

Hi there. I have the following problem. Under the all files folder there are a couple of .avi files that do not appear anywhere else on my system, they are not working and they cannot be deleted or opened! When I click on them, I get a message that says delete, repair alias or ok. Click delete or ok and nothing happens, click repair and it says locate the original file. When I do so, again nothing happens!!
Can anyone please help? I want to get rid of them as they are taking over a precious 10GB on my macbook air
Thank you

OK, this officially crosses over to the bizarre.
I believe booting from the Lion recovery partition and selecting Disk Utility is next. Run "repair disk". I believe that it will find some directory corruption and should fix it.
Here are a couple of places to go for more help, courtesy of Pondini.
Verify your internal HD, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
If that doesn't help, see Where did my Disk Space go?

How to fix a Domain file that will not open

We have a Domain file on our Mac Mini that will not open - iWeb keeps saying that it cannot be found, even though it is in the Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. I transferred the Domain file to my GS, and I get the same response - if I switch back to the original Domain file (on the G5), all is well. Obviously, the Domain file from the Mac Mini has gotten corrupted, but cannot determine the exact problem (though I think it may be the index.xml.gz file). I've reinstalled iWeb, checked permissions, deleted (and re-created) the associated plist files - nothing. Unfortunately, our company's web pages are in that Domain file, and cannot perform some much-needed updates. Any help that can be offered would be most appreciated!!

Have you tried double-clicking on the Domain file?

How do i create permanent javascripts that do not have to be run using the javascript console

I have written a code that adds footers to the bottom of an adobe pdf and i have been running that code from the adobe console. I would like to create a permanent script that can be called from the edit tab and will ask for two user inputs and run without opening the console

yes, however i do not have adobe pro so i added the show console:
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Show Console",cParent:"Edit",cExec:"console.show()"});
and i would like to add:
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Add Footer",cParent:"Edit",cExec:"addFooter()"});
however i am unsure how to make add footer run as an independent function or if it should be a subroutine and furthermore where it needs to be saved?

How to fix an iPod touch that does not charge but gets hot in the lower back area?

I have a 3rd generation iPod touch 32gb and it will not turn off, nor will it charge. Plugging in to my computer, iTunes does not even detected. Even if I leave it to charge, it does not detect it. The odd thing is that it get really hot in the lower back area of the iPod. It is hot to the touch, as though it were 80 degrees+. Anyway for me to fix this?
The iPod is way out of warrenty, so I wonder if a Genius bar appointment will even help me. But I will give them a try.

Replace the battery. If that does not work, then system board is toasted...

How do I delte a file that will not allow itself to be placed in Trash?

I have a file on my iMac (running OS X 7.7.5) and I just noticed a file on the destop that looks like an Xcel file, however its name
is "C6C1C450" with NO .XLXS tag on it. I cannot be moved from its location in the very uppermost right-hand corner of the screen,
and I cannot drag it to the trash. If I attempt to do so I get a window that says"The item “C6C1C450” can’t be moved to the Trash
because it can’t be deleted." I now suspect that it is not really an Xcel document at all. How do I get rid of it?

I cannot explain how this file came to be on the desktop! I was straightening things up this morning and there it was. I forgot to mention that the file cannot be opened by double-clicking on it, nor can it be dropped into Xcel to open it. ( It doesn't even show up in the Xcel applications Open command window when I look at the "desktop" listing of items.) That's why I feel that it is probably not really an Excel file.

Send a file that resides above the virtual directory to the browser using ASP.

How do you send a file that resides above the virtual
directory to the browser using ASP.
this doesn't work:
<% Response.Redirect(Server.Mappath("..\..\..\files\"
& rsgetefile("filename"))) %>

Basically you can't send a person to the location as that
would totally
defeat the purpose of placing files above the virtual root.
You can stream a
file from a page on the site if you use the physical location
on the server
to call it.

I'm trying to burn a CD but when I go to "File" that is not one of my options.

I'm trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD but when I go to "File" that is not one of my options.

In the left-hand pane, right-click the playlist name, and select "Burn Playlist to Disc." By the way, make sure it is a playlist (either regular or smart) and not a "playlist folder."

How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big. Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

Hi flaviusjack,
If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.
Best,

How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

How can I send a file that CAN NOT be printed or saved by the recipient?
