How Do I Secure an Emailed PDF to the Recipient's PC?

Hi All,
How can an emailed PDF be tied to a recipient's PC so that it can only be viewed on that PC?
I do not want to use password control or high-end 3rd party systems, e.g. FileOpen, LockLizard, etc.
I only care about restricting access (viewing), not distribution, editing, renaming, etc. In fact, I'd prefer that
the secured PDF could still be edited and resaved by the recipient, just not viewable on another machine.
Thanks for any help!

It can't be done without using a Digital Rights Management solution (using a server and expensive software).

You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier. Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security. If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

How can i print an email without printing the attachment?

I just got my new macbook pro retina display. I am using Mac mail and want to know how I can print an email without printing the attachement. Any suggestions and solutions would be appreciated.

Thank you for your suggestion. But when I receive an email that has an attachment (shown by paperclip symbol) The email opens and shows the attachment(jpg picture) at the end of the email so when I go to print - the email pops up with the picture already opened inside the body of the email. Can not figure out why this happens in mac mail. when i used outlook in windows only email would show. in order to see attachment you had to click on paperclip and only then would the attachment (picture apprear).
Any other suggestions that I may could try would be appreciated. Thank you! Gabriela

How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

How can I secure an emailed Quote from being edited by the recipient?

Hi, I'm a newbie with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
I have just finished creating a Quote Template.
After I finished creating the Quote Template I saved it as an Adobe Static PDF Form (.pdf).
I double clicked on the saved file and it opened in Adobe Acobat 9 Pro.
I then e-mailed it to myself as a test and found that after downloading the file from my email, I could edit the text and numbers.
It will not be a good idea to email an editable Quote to a client.
What should I do that a Quote Template created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 is secure from being edited by the client once the client received it per email?
I did not find the answer to my problem from the Help Menu, or overlooked it.
I will really appreciate it if someone can educate me in this.

Hi Leah,
you can protect a pdf from being edited in Acrobat Pro using the security features. (Advanced -> Security).
The easiest way is securing the file with a password and allowing no edits.
Here's the link to the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WSD012A4E1-51D1-4bcd-BA9F-EF03C6F20BB 6.html#top
Of course that also means the recipient can't fill any forms any more (unless he removes the security with the password).
A word of warning: as with all kinds of security the safety of it is only relative. There are tools out there which allow you to remove this protection in seconds.
(which probably would be illegal under these circumstances)
Background: the pdf specification only suggests that any pdf compatible application should care about the edit password. You practically can't enforce it. The tools I spoke of just ignore the security and save a new file.
The only way to improve this is to use digital certificates or to set an open password.
Regards,
Mike
