How to add password to pdf files in batch?

I need add password to 2000 pdf files. each one should has unique password.
Thanks!

This kind of operation can't be done in Acrobat. You'll need some stand-alone tool, or maybe a plugin, to do it.

  • 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,

    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.

    particular individual, then it's protected as far as you trust that individual
    anyway!
    Those who are in the dba group on the server can get at the data
    in any case.
    I just don't see the point in trying to do what you're asking - unless
    I've missed something?
    BTW, you haven't mentioned OS or db version (see .sig).
    Paul...
    lovely sethi--
    When asking database related questions, please give other posters
    some clues, like OS (with version), version of Oracle being used and DDL.
    Other trivia such as CPU, RAM + Disk configuration might also be useful.
    The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks.
    Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend time analysing and attempting to help,
    please do not top post and do try to trim your replies!

  • How To Add Properties To PDF file e.g. Title

    After I have added, say, Title to an existing pdf file, I was unable to save it. I am prompted to save it with a different file name or a different folder. Appreciate it for any advice. Joe

    Joe, after going around in circles for a week trying to discover why I sometimes could save and other times not, I figured it out. It might be the same problem you are having. Believe it or not, I found that it depended on how I opened the PDF file that I wanted to write into (in my case, I had form fields in a "fillable" form). If I opened the file by pulling down the FILE menu on the Adobe Reader screen and clicking on OPEN, I could write into it and save it again. But if I opened the file by clicking on its name in some menu, so that the computer had to find which application could read that file and then open Adobe, when I wanted to save again after writing something in, I got the same error message that you described. I had no such problem on my wife's Mac. So I concluded it was a bug (surprise, surprise) in VISTA. So if you have VISTA (especially Home Premium), we might have found your problem. As for a solution; if you find one, please let me know (Fjlee(a)comcast.net) Good luck. Fred

  • How to add image in pdf file

    Hello everybody,
    I need to place an image in pdf file programmatically on a specific location. Would you please help me what should I use to do this task?
    Thanks.

    You probably want to use a PDF library designed for the task (or a
    stamping tool). Are you looking for recommendations for such a tool?
    If so, what platform/environment/programming language?
    Or, are you looking to do it by directly read/writing the PDF file?

  • How to automate digital signing PDF Files in batch

    I am trying to find a way to automate as much as possible the placing of a digital signature on a set of PDF documents.  We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1 and the machine has MS Office 2003 with Vista Business.  Here's a scenario:  A set of documents exist in a TO-BE-SIGNED folder, each unsigned.  The user uses MS Access 2003 form with a button with VBA code to open and show the first document in the folder.  The AcroExch.App, AcroExch.AVDoc, and AcroApp.Show APIs are used to do this.  I found code on the internet to do that.  Rather than having my client now have to go through all the manual steps to place a digital signature on the document, I want to streamline it to a single click if possible.  Right now he has to click Advanced > Sign and Certify > Place Signature > then click and drag > then enter his password > then click sign > then save and close the doc.  Can all this be automated?  An added bonus would be automatically saving or moving the signed doc to a different folder when it is signed.
    I have created a stamp that allows me to add a stamp with just two clicks.  Can such be done to add a digital signature?  Is it possible to add a button to the toolbar to do this?  Can it be done in Access VBA using some Acrobat API calls?  Another feature I want to include is moving quickly from one document to the next in the TO-BE-SIGNED folder.  Like the arrow buttons take you from page to page, can a button be added to the Acrobat toolbar to take you from doc to doc in a particular folder?  Or can that be done using VBA and some Acrobat API calls?  To maintain the security of the password protection and yet cut down on clicks and keystrokes, I would like to input the password just once at the beginning of the session and have it remembered or applied to all the docs that get signed as long as that session is open.
    I've found some software that purports to do much of the above, but they are all very expensive and assume a big business with big bucks.  If anyone knows of inexpensive software that will REALLY do this, I'm open to that as well, though I'd like to control the process myself if possible.  I consider myself a beginner with Acrobat and using API calls and would appreciate any help anyone can give.  Is the above clear and even possible?
    PS:  I'm new to this site and using SDK.  I posted this under Security (thinking digital signatures) and was asked to post it here, which I'm glad to do.
    Thanks much!

    Our workflow is such that on infrequent occasions, we have a digitally signed PDF file and the doctor wants to append a scanned note to it.  In the past, we could do this, but not now.  In the past, when we added the scanned doc, we received a message saying that the doc is already signed and asking if we want to overrwrite the doc.  If we respond Yes, then Acrobat would allow it and the signature would indicate that the original part of the document was not modified, but that something had been changed--namely, a doc had been appended.  The signature indicated that something had changed since it was added, but it still allowed the append.  The signature would have an exclamation point in a yellow triangle indicating the doc had been updated since signed.  For our purposes, that was okay because we know what the change is based on the original doc and we know what is appended.  Now, however, we cannot append at all.  The only thing that is different that I know of is that the doc was signed with software that is not Adobe Acrobat, even though the other software uses an Adobe Acrobat self-created digital signature.
        I hope I've explained that clearly enough.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your prompt reply. Well forget about conversion but there should be a way to just password protect any PDF file, correct?
    We have a 3rd party tool which does that for our VB6 apps, I am surprised how come Acrobat SDK doesn't expose those Properties/Methods for VB6 model.

    There is a tutorial to let you know how to split a password-protected pdf file, check in here:http://www.kvisoft.com/tutorials/split-a-password-protected-PDF-file.html

    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

  • 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...
