How to edit file sent in Read-only ?

I want to add a stamp to a document that was sent to me in a read-only format to prevent modification, is this possible?

If it's just read-only you can change that setting by right-clicking the
file and going to Properties and unticking the read-only box.
If it's actually secured then you can't change that in Acrobat unless you
know the password.

  • How to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?

    Does anyone know how to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?
    Eudora, Foxmail and many other email programs allow you to simply click file attachment, open it, edit it, and FORWARD it to others.
    This is extremely difficult with Mail because it forces every single incoming file attachment to be READ-ONLY which means you are forced to re-save a copy in a folder then after editing it you need to spend time to fish it out of the folder, reattach it and then forward to others. It is a huge time wasting headache not to mention polluting your system with extra copies of files.
    Thanks

    I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

  • Cant get com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only entitlement to work

    Hey I am curious how can I get the .ipa compiled file for iOS to be able to read all the directories on the iPhone?
    I made a file browser but I cant get to the pictures
    I tried adding the entitlements in Flash Builder 4.6 in the descriptor file like this:
    <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-only</key>
    <true/>
    in the
      <iPhone>
            <Entitlements>
            <![CDATA[
    I got Push notifications working and accepted in the app store but it can't read the pictures directory when browsing for a file
    I know the app id and stuff is set up right or I wouldnt have been able to get it accepted in the app store.  In the entitlements area of course I have the application identifier set and aps-environment and keychain access groups and whatnot set up right.
    When I try to put the app onto the iPhone with iTunes it just says 'Entitlements are not valid' (does not mention anything about mismatched ids) I can't find anything about how to add this entitlement and I could have sworn I saw a thing that said I can just use the descriptor file to add entitlements in some of the documentation I have it set to use air 3.4
    Is there something I am doing wrong, how do I get apple to just put these entitlements in the mobileprovision file, I cant seem to edit it, if I do I also get an error in itunes that is some hex code...

    Did you ever solve your problem?
    I just transfered my web hosting and e-mail to bluehost. I had some of the same problems you are having. I noticed you have your incoming server set to bluehost.
    Incoming mail server: (SSL) box610.bluehost.com (sever requires authentication which I already have done)
    If bluehost is your server this is what worked for me:
    Account Information
    Account type— POP
    Description—anything you want
    Email Address—in your case would be [email protected]
    Full name—  first and last name
    Incoming server—mail.magnus.com
    User name—[email protected] Notice it is the @ symbol not a +
    password— your password . Remember they are case sensitive
    Outgoing Mail server—select edit smpt server list from the drop down window
    select the + to add a server
    Account Information
    Description—may be left blank
    Server name—mail.magnus.com
    TSL Certificate—None
    Advanced
    Use default ports
    Check  Use SSL
    Authenticate—password
    Username—[email protected]
    passowrd—your password
    Click ok
    In the accounts window
    Outgoing SMTP— select the server you just created.
    Check—use only this server
    Select the Advance tab next to the Mailbox Behaviors
    Check use SSL— it will be port 995
    Authenticate —use password

  • Cannot save the file may be read only

    Does anyone know how to save a current PDF in Adobe Acrobat X pro if getting "the file may be read only, or another user may have it opened.  Please save document with a different name or in a different folder" windows 7.  The file has not been opened by anyone, and this happens when I amend the document and try and save again.  I have turned off "protected view" within the preferences.  Deselected the file in its folder, and turned off the preview pane in the explorer window.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this?  thank you.

    Chances are it is a problem with the preview being turned on in Explorer. You might try closing Explorer, changing it to a different folder, or turning off the preview (the typical solution).

  • Shared folder files open as read only even though they are set up as read write

    Hello, I've recently purchased a iMac to work alongside my mac book pro. Primarily, i want this for ease of use at home and as a 'back up' to my pro should anything happen.
    I have a number of folders and files on my pro that I wish to access on the iMac and have set up shared folders to enable this with a new profile and read/write permissions. This all works fine until I open the document, make changes then find that I have to save as a different name as the files open as 'read only'?
    Is there anything I've missed? I would of expected 'read/write' permissions to enable me to save files as edited?
    Any help appreciated otherwise, I'll have to resort to copying files between machines which would be a major dissapointment!
    Thanks in advance

    Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
    On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
    Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
    Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

  • How to edit planning table so that only promote option comes for user

    how to edit planning table so that only promote option not aproove, comes for user for process management in planning unit state first pass.
    i am using 11.1.1.3 planing version, i have to do this customization very urgently.
    guys pls give some clue...thanks in advance!

    Hi John,
    a lot of thanks for your valuable help on this forum.
    if u see first pass state options, it gives only two options(promote,approve) but for other states it give >2 options so they must have put some condition on first pass state by restricting it to two options only.
    do u have any idea in which table this condition has been put so that i can restrict it further to 1 option only.
    thanks.

  • Could not save as - The file may be read-only or is already open in another application

    Can anyone think of a reason why if I'm working locally on a CS3 Flash .fla on my C: drive that I would get the error:
    Could not save as: C:\Users\John\Desktop\Project_File\ANNUAL REPORT RELEASE\01-19-11\report_stragegy.fla
    The file may be read-only or is already open in another application. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    It happens sporadically. I haven't been able to find a reason why this error pops up when saving some of my .fla files!!
    The files are not set to "read only" when I right click on them and choose 'Properties' in the Windows 7.
    I found some somewhat similar situations with saving errors:

    Sometimes I can save with a different file name. But sometimes I can't and start a new blank document and cut and paste from the one that won't save to the new untitled document.

  • Saving issues: "The file may be read-only" error message

    I do a lot of scanning to pdf and will often have to add a newly scanned page to an existing archived pdf then resave it.
    I have a very consistent workflow and use two screens. The folders that contain the archived files are always on my second screen while I work on the main screen.
    After I have inserted the newly scanned page into the existing pdf very often I get an error message that the file cannot be saved:
    The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
    I am the only user, none of files are read-only, and I am certain that the file I am resaving is not selected (I can see that on my second screen).
    Sometimes if I just click on the second screen to another folder it'll let me resave, but other times I have to close Windows Explorer completely.
    I like to avoid renaming files: it's important to that the original filename be retained.
    This seems to be happening a lot more with Acrobat X Pro than it did with version 9. This is highly annoying.
    Any known workarounds?
    dg

    The folders that contain the archived files are always on my second screen
    If in Windows (a Mac user would have to speak to this for that environment) -
    If Windows Explorer is "focused" on the file (i.e., file selected) or has "focus" on the file(s) parent folder/directory you will get the alert dialog.
    Close Windows Explorer or place its focus elsewere.
    Also, if the preview feature is used for files within a folder (or for files in nested sub-folder) you'll experience similar "speed humps" in the work flow path.
    Was not always this way but OS updates (XP, Vista, etc.) appear to have given us some nifty new options that, coincidentally, pose some gotchas.
    Be well...

  • Project files open in read-only mode

    project files open in read-only mode in ms project 2013.But in the case of MS Project 2007 it opens in READ\WRITE mode .what should i do so that project will opens in READ\WRITE mode by default in MS Project 2013

    In addition to John's excellent reply, I'd add that if you are talking about Project Server, this is by design that the projects in 2013 version open in read-only mode, in order to require an explicit operation to check-out the file. This prevents to have
    many checked out files by mistake.
    See this
    article on my blog.

  • The file may be read only

    Every so often (approximately every one in three times I try to save), I get the message 'The file may be read only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder'. If I carry on working and then try to save it a few changes later, it sometimes successfully saves the file. Often it takes several attempts, but eventually it does save it. This happens with all my Illustrator files, they aren't read only and another user doesn't have them open. I'm using a trial version of CS5 and Windows 7 on a personal PC (I still have CS4 installed too - I don't know if it's something to do with this). Anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

    It may be that you were using a font temporarily that was located in a directory that was read only or an image that was placed in the fie or another type of art placed in the files that may have the permissions restricted by accident. It could be that the scratch disk contains some sort of file that you are using and it has a restriction on the permissions as well.
    Check to see if there is permissions problem on any of your directories or folders.
    There may also be the possibility if you are e-mailling samples of the file that it is in use or at least your system and ai thinks so.
    But it mostly sounds to me like the scratch disk needs to have the permissions corrected and that after a few attempts you end up clearing the cache so it is no longer using the scratch and then you are able to save it. Now I am not an engineer but this makes sense to me.
    But it may simply be a problem with the settings folder and yiu can try this as well.
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings folder.
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

  • Open powerpoint encrypted files that are read only

    I'm trying to open a powerpoint encrypted file that is read only with keynote version 5.1.1.
    however keep getting the error message it must first be saved un encrypted.
    is there a way to mark the file read only so keynote will open it like powerpoint does

    thanks for the info, but not possible to get the file with the passowrd removed.
    I was hoping keynote would be able to still read it like powerpoint is able to but I guess that feature doesn't exist in keynote.
    Gues will just have to find a pc with powerpoint then.
