How do I force Acrobat security  to restrict editing by default?

I'm trying to prevent users from accidently creating a PDF that allows edit. I know that it is possible to change document security to restrict editing on a document by document basis, but I would like to force this to be the default for all users.

It's not a setting that can be set as a default during the PDF creation process.

  • How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"?

    How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"?  I want the users to type in a fillable form, but not save their edits on the original form.  I want them to be able to save with a different file name.

    You can't really force it, but you can encourage it... For example, you can set the file as read-only and add an instruction to do so before the file is saved using a script.

  • How can I force Acrobat Pro XI to install updates automatically?

    It defaults to download and ask and I've found a number of ways to prevent the install from happening at all, but nothing to force automatic updates.  I'd prefer a public property within the MSI, but it seems only reader has that capability.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Bought another computer: how to re-install Acrobat Student and Teacher Edition?

    Hello, the old laptop is still sturdy, but I had to get a replacement.  I have a student teacher edition of Acrobat on the old one (which I keep at home).  Can I purchase a new student teacher edition of Acrobat for my new travel laptop?

    Hi student teacher edition,
    Yes certainly you can, however it's just to inform you that your one licenses is good for two computers of your's if you are not using both the computers at the same time.
    You can follow the article: End-user license agreements FAQ for further query.
    Let us know for further query.

  • How do I unlock Acrobat X1 files for editing

    I can only "edit" PDF documents by updating them, then saving them under a different name.  I'd like to be able just to save the documents without having to rename the constantly.  ??   Thanks for any help you might provide.

    Maybe the original file is read-only?
    If not, please provide more information: operating system, Acrobat version, and what exactly happens when you click on the Save button in the toolbar

  • How do you force Pages 4.1 to be the default Pages app?

    Is there a way to use Pages 4.1 as the default pages app?  I have installed the new Pages and have found it will destroy things in older documents so I don't want to use it.  I would like to be able to click on the Pages icon and have it use Pages 4.1.   I would like to do this in Numbers as well.

    If you take the old pages icon off the doc, grab, lift, bursting cloud of small explosion, its sill around but not the go to program, then take Pages 5.1 icon (is that what you mean? Mavericks is 5.1) down to the doc then that version becomes the default program.
    The older version (9) still resides in the iWorks folder in the APPLICATIONS folder/section.
    in fact, you can switch back and forth until your totally confussed, back and forth.
    Took me a whild to figure that I only want to use 5.1, left 9 alone in the iWorks folder..
    I'm only a 1 level, I hope this helps.

  • How to make sure newly created row is editable by default programatically

    Hi All,
    I got a problem with creating new row in single row selection table with on click property enabled for editing mode.
    Function requirement is like: I have Mater-Detail. While creating detail lines, line has to be created with default line number. Eg: Master1 can have line numbers 1,2,3..etc, Master2 can have 1,2,3.. etc.
    In applicationTable for Pattern Create
    Action Listener=”#{CreateAndEditFiscalDocumentBean.createChargeLine}”
    In Table rowSelection="single" and editingMode="clickToEdit"
    Here the problem is:
    When I first come to the page,the first row in the detail table is editable and could able to edit any other row on click . But When I create a new row , I got a new row with line number but it is not editable.
    I want it to be editable on create and previously selected row should be read only. I have tried several ways but nothing is working.
    My observation is, when I call the bean method in Action Listener of application Table in create patteren, I am facing this problem. If I do not call this method, it is working as expected. But I need to call this method because it has to create row with line number.
    I am putting below two scenarios which I have tried. I am not successful in the both the scenarios.
    Could you please help me in achieving expected functionality.
    Many thanks in advance for your time and help.
    Scenario 1:
    Jsff:
    ApplicationTable: createActionListener="#{CreateAndEditFiscalDocumentBean.createChargeLine}"
    Table: rowSelection="single", editingMode="clickToEdit"
    Bean Code:
    public void createChargeLine(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExpressionFactory factory = fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
    MethodExpression method=factory.createMethodExpression(fc.getELContext(),"#{bindings.createChargeLine1.execute}",String.class,new Class[]{});
    method.invoke(fc.getELContext(),null);
    AMImpl Code:
    public void createChargeLine() {
    ViewObject itemChargeVO = this.getFiscalDocumentCharges();
    ViewObject fiscalDocumentHeaderVO = this.getFiscalDocumentHeader();
    Row toRow = fiscalDocumentHeaderVO.getCurrentRow();
    Row newRow = null;
    Row latestRow = itemChargeVO.first();
    Integer line_number = new Integer(0);
    int numberOfItemLines = 0;
    if (latestRow != null) {
    RowSet rs = itemChargeVO.getRowSet();
    numberOfItemLines = numberOfItemLines + 1;
    if (rs != null) {
    line_number =
    (Integer)rs.first().getAttribute("LineNumber");
    while (rs.hasNext()) {
    numberOfItemLines = numberOfItemLines + 1;
    Row row = rs.next();
    if (line_number.compareTo((Integer)row.getAttribute("LineNumber")) <
    0)
    line_number =
    (Integer)row.getAttribute("LineNumber");
    line_number = line_number + 1;
    newRow = itemChargeVO.createRow();
    newRow.setAttribute("LineNumber", line_number);
    itemChargeVO.insertRowAtRangeIndex(numberOfItemLines + 1, newRow);
    itemChargeVO.setCurrentRow(newRow);
    } else {
    newRow = itemChargeVO.createRow();
    newRow.setAttribute("LineNumber", new Integer(1));
    itemChargeVO.insertRowAtRangeIndex(0, newRow);
    itemChargeVO.setCurrentRow(newRow);
    Scenario 2:
    Bean method changes:
    public void createChargeLine1(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
    Row newLine = ApplicationsTableEventHandler.getInstance().processCreate(getChargeTable());
    newLine.setAttribute("LineNumber", new Integer(1));
    }

    Hi Jerry,
    Please refer to the following blog and check whether you followed all the steps:
    /people/harikrishna.sunku/blog/2008/12/18/work-center-and-navigation-link-creation-in-crm-2007
    You basically need to ensure that your custom work center is assigned to a navigation bar profile; and this navigation bar profile is assigned to your business role.

  • How to force acrobat to perform ocr?

    Hi Folks,
    Is there any way I can force acrobat to perform an OCR on pages which it says have "renderable text"?  The problem is that, when I copy and paste from the document, I just get a bunch of gobbledegook out.  You can see the problem document here: http://www.gofc-gold.uni-jena.de/redd/sourcebook/Sourcebook_Version_Nov_2009_cop15-1.pdf
    Thanks!
    Acrobat Professional 9.2.0
    XP SP3

    That there is no real solution to this, after many years is an indication that either:
    Adobe does not care, or
    Adobe does not get it.
    I was about to suggest my employer upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat, but see no indication that Adobe has really fixed the problem.
    PDFs can contain multiple layers.  When there is bitmapped text, from a scan, and "renderable text" such as a footer containing a document identification number (there are many, many, millions of such pages used in the legal world every day) then for reasons only the programmers at Adobe can explain, Acrobat is incapable of running OCR on the bitmap and leaving the rendered text in its own layer.
    This is not a difficult problem. Since Acrobat can deal with layers making up each page, it should be somewhat trivial to have the OCR function find the bitmapped layer and operate on that layer.
    Instead Acrobat gives the LAME error message.
    The "fix" of saving to TIFF and back is a pain-in-the-arse work-around. It even froze Acrobat when I tried to save to TIFF.
    The "fix" of ignoring renderable text in the margin area and running OCR on the interior bitmap is also not acceptable.
    Adobe, you once were a reputable company. You gave the world Postscript. You gave the world PDFs. Why can't you get the OCR function to work properly in Acrobat?

  • How do I force Lenovo Y560p to start in Safe Mode?

    My Avira Anti-Virus program has alerted me to hidden viruses. These viruses can only be removed by booting up with an Avira Rescue Disk, or by starting the computer in Safe Mode and then running my anti-virus program in Safe Mode. My Lenovo Y560p will not bootup with the Avira Rescue Disk. Neither will it start in Safe Mode when I hold down F8 during startup. In both cases, Windows 7 (64bit) is starts normally, overriding the Avira Rescue Disk in the optical DVD drive or F8 being held down. (I've also tried F6.) How can I force the machine to start in Safe Mode, so that I can get rid of the hidden viruses?

    Hi ecbritz,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community.
    There is no magic bullet. There is no one-size-fits-all. If you were to use an all-in-one (suite) such as Norton Internet Security, you would be getting the definitions from just one vendor. Different security vendors find different things. One also has to wonder if a company known for anti-virus protection is equally as good as one that specializes in firewall protection.This is not to say that more than one anti-virus should be installed. Use only one AV. A layered approach with "the best of all worlds" usually is advisable.
    To address your question, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials (free) or Eset's NOD32 Antivirus (paid). Over the years I have used Norton, Trend Micro, AVG, Avast!, MSE and NOD32. I have remained with MSE and NOD32 on my computers. None of my computers have ever had an infection.
    For the next layer, I add Malwarebytes (free on-demand is good; paid with realtime protection is better).
    As far as online browser security, along with your anti-virus and anti-spyware software,  Web Of Trust , uses colored alerts to warn you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
    Red for Warning = STOP
    Yellow for Use Caution
    Green for Safe
    Grey for Unknown
    There is a Web Of Trust version for Firefox as well.

  • HT1414 How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on games

    How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on a game?

    Do you mean the passcode for Settings > General > Restrictions so that you can turn in-app purchases back 'on', or something else ?
    If the Restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
    If you mean a different code ... ?
