How to create a secure & non editable PDF? So that it cannot be modified by any of the secondary too

How to create a secure & non editable PDF? So that it cannot be modified by any of the secondary tools available online for security breaks and editing of PDF document
I put all the security options but still there are tools to break the security (even password) leading to editing of document
Need to avoid any such situation

If the document is important, and there is something to be gained by modifying it - then someone will just make a new copy of it (e.g. print and scan, screen capture), and make a new document, then change it.
If protecting the integrity of the document - proving it is unchanged - is the thing, look at digital signatures. Forget security, the signed file can be freely edited, but the signature will always show it is changed.

  • Is it possible to save a non-editable PDF from InDesign CS6?

    Wehave an issue with our printer and would like to start giving them files that are non editable. In Illustrator it's as simple as checking and unchecking a box in the PDF settings dialogue. I've tried multiple ways that I have across the net but they all are editable once opened in Illustrator for example. We would like to give them flattend/non-editable PDF. We would prefer not to use any passwords or security features.
    Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

    Are you worried that they are opening the PDF in Illustrator and might accidently edit or move/delete something?
    All printers would have either Acrobat or Adobe Reader which is free, so there is no reason for them to open your PDFs in Illustrator.
    Perhaps they are opening them in AI to correct problems in your PDFs. Ask them if there are any issues, it's possible your InDesign or PDF creation process is wrong for digital printing, (for example, Rich Black text that needs to be converted to 100 Black only, etc.)
    Or maybe they are doing imposition.
    However, opening PDFs in Illustrator is still not a good idea. Illustrator is NOT a general purpose PDF editor.
    In Acrobat Pro there are Preflight Profiles and Fixups that may correct some issues.
    PitStop Pro is a better choice for correcting issues in PDFs. And there are also third party Acrobat plug-ins for impostion purposes.
    A RIP with software specifically designed for it will also help fix PDFs without resorting to Illustrator.
    Since your printer is in-house, I suggest you have a meeting to ask if they are opening your PDFs in Illustrator and why they are doing so.
    Perhaps some guidelines should be agreed upon by both sides and enforced by some rules.
    I have a feeling that some additional training (possibly on both sides) is needed to straighten out this situation.

  • How to create a non editable PDF

    How to create a non editable PDF in PDF writer 5 & 6 Professional.

    There was a PDF Writer driver available in AA 5 (not in AA 6). It was part of the custom install and was not recommended for use. In AA 5, the Acrobat Distiller printer was preferred. In AA 6, the name was changed to the Adobe PDF printer. In any case, once you have the PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat and go to the document properties. Select the security options to restrict changes and/or extracting text. The security is not all that robust, but works for most folks.

  • Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

  • Fillable PDF to saved non-editable PDF

    I currently have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Livecycle Designer ES 8.2. I am looking to create a fillable form PDF and then send it to clients who will use adobe reader to fill the form and then save it as non-editable PDF form for general usage.
    How can this be done?
    Thanks, Vijay

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks much for the response, can you help me with instructions on how I can enable extended rights? Sorry, I am not too familiar with the things in Acrobat or Livecycle.
    Thanks,

  • How to create a smallest file size pdf from indesign CS4 document

    How to create a smallest file size pdf (suitable for upload to a website) from indesign CS4 document which contains multiple illustrator CS4 illustrations.
    I have chosen the "smallest file size option" but the pdf file is over 30MB, can anyone help please.
    Thank you

    One trick is to
    Set the placed graphics to have a transparency of 99.9% (you can do this with Find/Change and select Objects)
    This is enough to force the graphics throught the Transparency Flattener
    Next set the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (Edit>Transparency Blend Space)
    Next set a custom Transparency Flattner Preset Edit>Transparency Flattner
    Next
    Use File>Export and choose
    Smallest file size
    PDF Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
    In Advanced Section - go to transparency and selec the new Flattener Preset you created.
    *this will convert your vectors to raster, but it should reduce your file size

  • Does Adobe provide a PHP library for dynamically generating a non-editable PDF on a website?

    As the title says, I am wondering if Adobe provides a PHP library for dynamically generating a non-editable PDF for my company website.  Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!

    By non-editable I assume you simply mean "with password security set" and understand the serious limitations of this.
    While Adobe doesn't offer PHP it offers several server options
    - LiveCycle PDF Generator. Java API and watched folder. Convert file types to PDF. Security can be set, but perhaps only globally.
    - Adobe PDF LIbrary. For experienced C/C++ programmers. Licensed by DataLogics.

  • How to create a FSG report in pdf format

    How to create a FSG report in pdf format?
    Thanks In Advance
    Kris

    Hi,
    There is an enhancement request at user group review to create FSG's in PDF format. However, I transformed the FSG output by using ascii2pdf shareware software (do a search on google.) I created a shell script that did the transformation and emailed the report from Oracle Apps. It seems to work ok.

  • How to get JTextPane partially non-editable?

    Hi,
    I am trying to get parts of the JTextPane (that have clearly different styles than regular text) to be non-editable. So far I cannot make a partial setting like this. Netbeans (FFJ) source file editor has a feature like this, but I have not been able to locate their implementation in the source files. Once can move the caret inside the non-editable part, and even select text, but no editing is allowed.
    Does anybody know how to set this up?

    Here's the answer I found in 10 minutes, after having the time to take a look into it:
    The non-editable text (section headers) are blue and bold. So here's the event handler for KeyEvent:
    private void textAreaCommandKeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
    AttributeSet aSet = textAreaCommand.getCharacterAttributes() ;
    boolean bold = StyleConstants.isBold( aSet ) ;
    if ( bold ) {
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
    evt.consume() ;
    }

    Try this code in the PBO inside the module in the LOOP...ENDLOOP.
       IF SY-TCODE EQ 'ZEMPLDISPLAY'.
        LOOP AT SCREEN.
         if screen-name eq 'column1' or screen-name eq 'column2'.  "Give the names of the columns in the table control

  • I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

    In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

    Thanks for the email, Stacy!
    I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi Joseph,
    I'd like to assist!
    Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
    Are these files scanned to PDF files?
    You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
    Let me know if that works.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • The pdf file that i am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel.  How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

    Hi,
    The pdf file that I am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel.  How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

    Hi christinek,
    Can you please tell me how the PDF that you're converting was created? Sometimes, PDF files created by third-party PDF generators (that is non-Adobe applications), don't contain all the tags and file information necessary to ensure a proper conversion to Excel. There are no settings that you can change in ExportPDF to adjust how the file is imported.
    You can tell how the PDF was created by choosing File > Properties in Reader and looking for the PDF Producer on the Description tab. If the PDF was created by a third-party, it just may not be written to spec. Please see Support Policy for PDF Files created by non Adobe applications.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Editable pdf file that can be saved

    Working with Acrobat X. I have created an editable PDF file that i sent to my customer. They enter their information and all is good, BUT they can't save the file only print.
    Is there something else I need to do to make this possible?
    Traci

    Whenever I see "customer" in a question like this I try to remind folks of the limitation of the license for 500 uses. Not requiring the extra step is an option for Reader XI as mentioned. The other way is to have any data submitted as a data file (FDF) rather than the whole form. When you import the data file into the form you get the same result. The customer can just print the form for their records.
