How can I unprotect a doc I created?

I exported a word 2010 doc I created as a pdf and when that happened, it protected it so no changes could be made, which makes the pdf unusable for me.
So I tried to use the create pdf on this site, and it did the same.  How can a import a word doc, change it to a pdf and make it so i can change it?
Do I first need to create the word doc as a form before i convert it?
Thanks for any help

Hello there,
Thanks for posting. If you would like to create a PDF form that can be completed without being printed, you'll have to use Adobe Acrobat desktop software to enable that PDF as a form. Here's a link to the Acrobat product page: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat
Once you have created your form in Adobe Acrobat, you can use Acrobat.com to distribute the form and collect responses. For more information on using Acrobat and Acrobat.com together, please see the following information page: http://www.adobe.com/acom/usewith/
Just to shed a little more light on this subject: the nature of a PDF is to be uneditable; you might think of it as a printed document that's viewable on your screen. Whenever you convert a document to PDF (unless you plan to manipulate it with Adobe Acrobat desktop software), you shouldn't have any more changes to make to that document. That's why PDF files are so great for sending to people or for publishing: because they can't be changed and the content doesn't shift depending on the screen and operating system on which the file's being viewed.
Also, although it's not possible to create forms with Acrobat.com yet, I encourage you to stay tuned - we've got some good things coming down the pipeline in the not-too-distant future. Check in from time to time at our blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/acom
Best regards,
Rebecca

    Unfortunately you need an airprint enabled printer to print from an iOS device. There are some work arounds but they are very complicated and aren't proven to work 100%. From what I understand through rumors they are working on allowing all wireless printers to work with iOS but at the moment that's a pipedream. I don't know how important it is but if you really need to print from iPhone you can find some great AirPrint printers on Ebay for decent prices. Good Luck!

  • How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

    how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
    and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
    anybody has an idea?

    Stephan:
    If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
    Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

    How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts?  An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created.  Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

    You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
