How do I add a password to a pdf that can later be removed by a person with only Adobe reader?

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and want to make a password on a pdf so it is safe until the other person gets it. I can make a password without a problem and when she goes to open it, the password is required, but it is not removed and the password stays on the pdf. How can I make the PDF with a password so that once she opens it using the password, she can then take off the protection of the PDF?
She only has Adobe Reader XI.
How can I make a PDF like this, or can I?
Thanks for any help,
Sean

Adobe Reader cannot change security options. There is nothing you can do, when creating the PDF, to change this.

I'm sure that there's a very simple answer to this, and I
can't believe that I don't know it.
How can I add a link to a file that will then be dowloaded by
the user?
Thanks

Zip the file. Link to it. Upload it.

How can I save an image in a pdf that can not be removed using 'Edit Object' feature in Acrobat X?

I have a pdf that has an image of a seal contained it it. I'd like to send the document out to other people but don't want them to be able to remove the seal using the 'Edit Object' feature under 'Tools' in Adobe Acrobat X. Can someone tell me how to do this please? Thanks in advance!

Apply a security policy that prevents editing. This is not a 100%
fool-proof protection, though, but it will work in Acrobat.

How do I get a refund on Export PDF that has ALREADY been agreed

On 1/21-1/22 I tried to 'renew' a subscription for Export PDF. By some error (maybe mine - I just dont understand the whole thing) my Bank was immediately charged for two subscriptions, each at a different price. I immediately "chat"ted with several reps (it was difficult to get onto the chat and find out how to cancel) and was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded. They weren't!
I waited a week. Was again frustrated by the chat hookup, and tried the 'cloud' retail product tel #, assuming it was wrong but that I could be switched to the correct one. Had a very pleasant chat, was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded, received 2 e-mails confirming the cancellations, each with a seperate "Case #". Felt pretty good! It had only taken me a week of reasonably diligent effort to get a very simple thing done! IT WASN"T DONE! (Yes, I apologize - I know I'm loud - but by now I've got steam coming out of my ears!)
Today I got an e-mail, telling me that the refund had been processed and the case # would be closed. I looked at my bank, and only one had been refunded! I reviewed all the other e-mails and the notes from the telephone calls and chats to be sure I hadn't misunderstood something. But, no I hadn't. I went to my Adobe on-line and looked up 'my orders' history. Sure enough one had been invoiced and refunded ( the lesser charge of the two) but the other had ONLY BEEN INVOICED - NOT CANCELLED. And it seems that every piece of this transaction generates a new "order" , "case" or some other "reference #" - none of which are tied together, except by the invoice amount, when it is mentioned - which it typically IS NOT.
My question, then, is : How can I get past this absolute frustration over every aspect of my interaction with Adobe and GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF?????????

Hi Stacy,
    What frustration? (Just kidding !)
    As I mentioned, one of the two charges has been refunded. Credited by
Adobe on Jan 28, I believe I received it in my bank on Jan 30.
    The other charge, $25.37 of order # AD011017507, has not been received
by my bank yet. But this can't be that much of a surprise, and has nothing
to do with "10 business days" for refunds to post.
    To this minute, "My Orders" on Adobe website shows that the order #
AD011017507 was invoiced on January 22, but that no credit invoice has been
posted against this order to this moment!
    Can you begin to understand the frustration of being unable, through
all attempts to untangle this mess, starting within one hour of the original
order, with I believe nine different "Chats", telephone calls and, finally
a "problem" posting, stretching over more than thirteen days. Of course
it doesn't make much sense to devote this much attention to less than $50
worth of stuff, but I do not let things like this dangle.
    And can you imagine how loathe I am to deal with Adobe for fear of
some real problem?
    At any rate, I would certainly be pleased if you can suggest a way for
me to extricate myself from this. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks for your time and any trouble,
    Stephen Ellis

How do I add a password to my list?

when i go to the PayPal site i am not asked if I want to save password. How do I add my password and the paypal web to my list of passwords?

Hey art4750,
Go to ''Tools >Options >Security'' tab. First I would check to be sure that you haven't set paypal as an exception to not remember your password.
There is a lot of useful information in this article about the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=password+manager&r=1&as=s Firefox Password Manager]. It should answer any other questions you might have.
You can also remove the cookies from that site to make the site forget you if you've created a remember me cookie by going to ''Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" ''
Hopefully this helps!

Thanks. That's a great resource, but it won't do what I want to do. Firstly, it seems that the password on that screen if for permission to modify the document. I'm only looking to prevent unauthorized viewing. Secondly, the 3rd party document is often already password protected by its creator.

How do I add a password to itunes

How do I add a password to itunes so my son doesn't buy hundreds of dollars worth of games? I had charges of over 300 dollars appear on my credit credit w/in 2 days.

Whenever I open iTunes, I am already signed in. However, if I attempt to purchase anything else, or even to update an App, then iTunes asks for my password. So I assume your iTunes will too. Look in the iTunes Store, is your account name shown at the top right on the black menu bar? If it is, you are signed in and therefore already have a password. (Well, you do have a password - that's for sure)
This means that your son may know what your password is, since he would have to put it in at the time he makes 300 dollars worth of purchases. So I suggest you change your password.
...and stop his allowance in order to pay back the 300 dollars!

Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes. It's much easier to configure and manage than samba. It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
Subsitute my mount points with yours.
For a password-less mount:
ssh-copy-id gav@PI
after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
security = user
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
guest account = gav
; And my share setup:
[rpi]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /mnt
writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @krb
[torrent_dl]
path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
writable = yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
guest ok = Yes
case sensitive = No
read only = No
Hope this helps.

Can I add a password to a PDF portfolio created from multiple emails?

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can add a password to a PDF portfolio that I created by converting several emails into a PDF?
Thanks in advance for your invaluable help!
-Matt

When viewing a Portfolio the classic Tools Pane is not visible, so you cannot apply security in the usual way.
Instead, open the properties dialog (menu > File > Portfolio Properties) and select the Security tab. Change the dropdown field to "password security" and the dialog box will appear to enter the permissions information.
