    3.Save As (or Save if it's OK to overwrite the original PDF).

  • How to display in browser a password protected pdf file I created?

    I created a password protected pdf file.
    I want to display the file in browser so that viewers can only view it online.
    It is better that viewers cannot download it.
    But I donot know how to prevent viewers downloading the file.
    Since the pdf is password protected, viewers don't have the password even they download it.
    But how can I display the password protected pdf file in browser when I know the password?
    Or is there a better to just viewers see the pdf file online and prevent them from downloading and printing it?

    Any file on the web has to be copied to the local machine in order for the file content to be presented to the viewer. That's how the "www" is built.  So, to make use of your web based PDF the file has to be downloaded to the local machine. This might be to the local machine's temporary internet / browser cache or (via a 'save this to my computer') to some other location on the local machine's HDD. Bottom line -- web based files get downloaded this is the case for protected file or a non-protected file.
    Be well...

  • How to convert a password protected pdf file?

    How do I convert a password protected pdf file to Word?

    Yup. You all are right. I ordered Adobe Acrobat today and the order is still processing. I can get to Adobe Acrobat.com but that too does not work. I guess I will have to wait until my order is processed before I get the keys to the kingdom. Thanks for your help and please forgive my ignorance.Regards,Bob

  • OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

    I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
    However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
    could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
    that is protected with a password.
    Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
    When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
    It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
    I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
    On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
    Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
    Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.

  • IPad to wireless printer with password protected pdf files?

    I have a iPad 2 connected wirelessly to a HP Photosmart 6520. I usually have no problem printing a variety of file and docs....including pdf files. My friend sent me some password protected PDF files today. I have the password and can open them just fine....but I can't get them to print. It just ignores me (no error message). Any suggestions?

  • HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007.  Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files.  The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
    These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files.  The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again.  I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
    FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
    It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files.  I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

  • How do I create a password-protected certificate

    I have installed a J2SE adapter engine. I have been asked to allow the browser to connect using the HTTPS protocol. I have found the relevant information in the documentation, but how do I create a password-protected certificate, and therefore how do I set the following parameters:
    HTTP.SSLcertificate=<p12-certificate name>
    HTTP.SSLcertificatePassword=<p12-certificate password>
    HTTP.SSLcertificatespecifies the complete file name of a password-protected certificate and HTTP.SSLcertificatePassword specifies the corresponding password.
    Thank you in advance

  • How to recover password Protected PDF Files

    Hi ALL,
    DO we have an option to recover password protected pdf files locked with acrobat.I didnt remember password's of some of my old pdf files
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I would just ask the 3rd party that created the PDF if they could supply unencrypted files. If there is some reason they will not, I am surprised that they have not restricted printing. Normally when Acrobat security is set, you can not print to a new PDF, even if printing is allowed. One option is to provide the ID and password to the other folks who need to review the PDFs. On the surface, there seems to be a license issue with what you are trying to do and you may need to be careful that the company is not at risk. That is why I am suggesting to coordinate with the 3rd party.
    Sorry. I don't have a solution but just the statement of concern.

  • Acrobat 8.1 and C# - How can you detect password protected PDF files?

    I am modifying our existing C# code that opens PDF files.  But when ever we hit a password protected file, we are prompted for a password.  This is an automated process, so if we detect a password protected file, we move the file to a manual processing folder to be processed later.
    We are using Acrobat 8.1 Standard.
    Our code looks like this:
    using 
    System;
    using 
    System.Collections.Generic;
    using 
    System.Linq;
    using 
    System.Text;
    using 
    Acrobat;
    using 
    System.IO;
    using 
    Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
    using 
    System.Reflection;
         AcroApp app = new AcroApp();     app.Hide();
         try
              if (app != null)          {
                   app.CloseAllDocs();
                   AcroAVDoc av = new AcroAVDoc(); 
                   if (av.Open(filename, "Test") == true)               {
                        AcroPDDoc doc = new AcroPDDoc();                    doc = (
    AcroPDDoc)av.GetPDDoc(); 
                        doc.Save((
    short)Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull, 
                        Utilities.GeneratePath(FileVersion.TEMP) + fi.Name.RemoveFileExtension() + ".PDF");                    doc.Close();
         catch (Exception ex)     {
              ErrorLog.LogError(filename.RemoveFileExtension(), ex);     }
         finally
              app.CloseAllDocs();
              app.Exit();
    This works great for non-password protected PDF files, but it prompts for a password if the file is password protected.  I was looking at the FileOpenEX functionality, but I can not find the reference to bring into my C# project.  It looks like it is only for C++, since I could only find C++ examples.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    There are no methods in the Acrobat SDK for C# for what you wish to accomplish.

  • Convert Excel into Password Protected PDF Files

    Hello Aandi/Lenoard,
    I believe you are the Adobe Forums administrators so I thought you guys are the right people to approach.
    OTHERS ARE ALSO INVITED TO COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC.
    I have C# desktop app which generates Excel files and our goal is to convert these excel files one at a time into password protected PDF files. We use a 3rd party software currently, but I am challenging myself into saying that I can use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK to achieve what is required .
    I have downloaded Acrobat 9.0 SDK and also have Adobe Professional 8.0(trail) in my development machine. Can you firstly tell me if this is possible and secondly what would be required on the client machines to run it?
    THanks,
    Andy

    "Encrypt with Password" is the policy name, not the policy id.
    Did you try enumerating the policy object to see how to set it up? I ran this from the console to get the policy details:
    var policy = security.chooseSecurityPolicy();
    for ( var i in policy )
    console.println(i + ": " + eval("policy." + i));
    That will pop up your list of policies. Choose "Encrypt with Password" and hit Apply, which returned the following:
    policyId: SP_STD_default
    name: Encrypt with Password
    description: This policy will allow you to set an open or modify password on a document.
    handler: Adobe.Standard
    target: document
    Of course, all you really need are the policyId, handler and target. Make sure you read and thoroughly understand the security requirements documented in the API reference for this method as well.

  • The Best way to make an Apple password protected PDF file?

    1. Any idea? Because I need to send Password protected PDF files to my clients and family too, how strong is it?
    2. There are two ways to make a protected PDF, one is "Print" to PDF, the other is "Save As" to PDF. What's the difference between them? I found the two different means result two different file size, Why is that?
    3. Which one is the best way to make a Password protected PDF in Mac?

    I got these results by Ubuntu 10.04 LTS freeware named "PDF cracker", but I don't know what these info. mean.
    PDF version 1.4
    Security Handler: Standard
    V: 2
    R: 3
    P: -4
    Length: 128
    Encrypted Metadata: True

    The cracking is still under way, 15 mins past, it still hasn't cracked it yet.
    The password length is 7 characters.
    What is Meta data? V? R? P? What does that mean?
    What Length is it talk about?

  • Password Protected PDF Files in Elementary OS

    I have installed Acrobat 9.5.5 on my Elementary OS (Ubuntu base) system but when I try to open a password protected PDF file from my bank Acrobat fails with the error "There was an error opening this document. An updated version of Acrobat is needed in order to open this document.".
    The version that I have installed claims to be 9.5.5 04/26/2013.
    Has anyone got any pointers?
    Thanks

    Well,  first, you probably don't have Acrobat 9.5.5 installed on Ubuntu unless you are running a VM image or using WINE to do so.  You are probably using Adobe Reader 9.x.  If a file was encrypted for Acrobat X and later then you do actually need Adobe Reader version 10.x or later.  Unfortunately there isn't a version 10.x for UNIX/LINUX.  What to do?  Use a VM or WINE and load it up that way.  If you really are running Acrobat 9.5.5 on Ubuntu via a VM image or WINE then you need to load Adobe Reader 10.x or Adobe Reader 11.x.
