How to make a PDF viewable only through an URL or a link?

Hi
I'm a newbie to Adobe Lifecycle ES. My ultimate aim to use this suite is to make my pdf viewable only through an URL or a weblink. The system must not allow the user to view the PDF without the particular URL. Is it possible to acheive this through Adobe Lifecycle ES? Please do reply as i'm in an urgency to finish my task.
Thakns in advance

If you are trying to control access to the actual URL where the Rights Managed PDF you would need to set up a way to authenticate users to allow them access ot the URL.  This would be done on the web\app server, not using Rights Management ES.
You would use Rights Management ES to apply a policy to the PDF itself.  A policy controls who can view (open) the document, and once the user authenticates to the RM server to open the document, RM controls the permissions that that user has for the document (i.e. can the PDF be printed, can content be copied etc...)  RM cannot be used to control who can download a PDF form a URL.  Policies can also control if the user must be online and connected to the RM server to open the PDF, or you can allow "Offline" access for a set period of time where the user does not need a connection to view the PDF, however the user still needs to be authenticated to view the document offline.

    You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights
    management, use protected PDFs via LiveCyle/ Acrobat Connect or learn how
    to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
    it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

  • How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    @nalinss
    There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
    A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
    So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller.

  • How to Make a pdf that can be downloaded, filled in and saved and then emailed; Acrobat 9 Pro; Windows

    Hi,
    I hope this hasn't been asked before, but I really need to figure out how to do this.   We take forms in Word, convert them using the wizard, and then the only way I can figure how to make them fill in able and then saveable is to distribute through email.  This won't work for me, I need to put them on a website so they don't rely on me to get the forms.
    Any help is appreciated.   Here is a link to a state work site here in washington that has exactly what I need. if that help to clarify what I'm talking  about.
    Best, Mary

    Hi Mary,
    I have recently gone through this same experience.
    The first thing is to set the security.
    Go to Advanced/Security/2 Encrypt with password.  On this page go to Permissions and click on Restrict editing.
    You will need to add a password, choose the printing allowed, and changes allowed - this is where you allow the form
    to be filled out.
    When you have finished these steps, click ok.
    Then from the Advaned menu choose "Extend Features in Adobe Reader".  You will see what access the user has to the form.
    Your form should be ready to email or add to a website as a pdf form.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to make a pdf editable and save for print

    Hi,
    I just joined Adobe Cloud and it's been a while since I have used acrobat. I have made a brochure that I need a couple of things to be editable on. See below. I need the two areas highlighted in red to be editable for different locales/people. My questions are:
    A) I assume Acrobat is the way to do this. I also have FormsCentral if that works better. Can someone tell me how to make these two fields editable?
    B) What program do they edit with?  Acrobat Reader?
    C) How do they save and output it for print?
    Thank you,
    John

    This is not about what Acrobat can or can't do - and you just said they won't have it anyway. It's about the limitations of PDF. A proper solution is to develop (at some expense) a server side PDF generator that takes the user's input and makes them a custom PDF. I don't know if you can just subscribe to a service to do this. If you aren't going to have them use Acrobat, form fields are your only option. Be sure they (and you) understand the limitations and that they must use Reader (not one of the many other PDF viewers). Be sure you understand about reader enabling: many versions of Reader CANNOT SAVE filled in files unless they are specially prepared.
    So back to your original question: how do you make the fields editable: with the Forms function in Acrobat. You may have better luck in the Acrobat Forms forum.

  • How to make a PDF LiveCycle Reader Extended?

    Hi Everybody
    I have installed Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extension Server into my machine. But i don't know how to use this to make a pdf reader extended. Please Help me in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Manjeet

    HI,
    The website you gave me won't open.
    I'm sorry, I know very little about programming, and I'm only an admin assitant with certain administrator rights to my own computer so I don't have access to the servers.
    I'm now very confused, I've been trying to get this done for a whole week now without results. http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions I thought this is all I needed to import my trial RE credentials. I don't want to purchase a module that might not work if I don't have the whole ADEP document services or if I need certain programs.
    I need some guidance to know if I'm doing the right thing. This is what I have done so far:
    1;- I currently have the Livecycle ES8.2 version installed in my computer for a couple of years now and recently downloaded and installed the ES2 trial.
    2.- I also downloaded the trial version of the RE and installed the credential in my computer.
    3.- According to your suggestions in this forum and also in the Adobe instructions I'm supposed to import the RE credential to the administration console (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions with an adminstrator  user and password  password but the site says my user and password are incorrect....??
    4.- I don't know what else to do then because I'm stuck in 3.
    Now reading manjeet's response, I need to download a server?
    I'm trying to test if what ever I'm doing here is right with the use of trial versions of livecycle and RE so after testing I can request to purchase both, but if this doesn't work to make my dynamic form import and export data in adobe reader then my whole project is gone to the trash aswell as my other pending projects.
    There is no way and no how we're switching to the ADEP documentation services because the whole corporation is working under another documentation service, so what ever I'm trying to do here is for our internal use as a department.
    Will just the Livecycle ES2 and an RE credential be enough?
    Please help, I'm very frustrated now.
    Thanks!

  • How to make a PDF embedded image append a report and send via fax electronically from MS SSRS 2012?

    How can I make a PDF embedded image append a SSRS 2012 report and send via fax all electronically?  Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    Hello,
    1. The report item Image can be used to display the image which  embedded in the report, stored in a database, stored on the report server, or stored elsewhere on the Web.
    For example, you can embedded the PDF image in the report and stored as text in the report definition.
    2.Reporting Services includes an e-mail delivery extension and a file share delivery extension which you can send report to user or group through e-mail or send the report to a shared location on your network.
    If you want to send the report to FAX, you may try to create a custom delivery extension depend on your faxing software.

  • HOW TO MAKE FIELDS AS READ ONLY IN TABLE MAINTAINANCE

    HI ABAPers,
    HOW TO MAKE SOME FIELDS AS DISPLAY MODE.
    FOR SUPPOSE, THERE ARE 5 FIELDS in SM30.
    AMONG THEM 1 FIELD SHUD BE USED FOR EDITING AND THE OTHER 4 FIELDS SHUD ONLY BE USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSE
    WHEN EVER I ENTER A VALUE IN THAT 1 PARTICULAR FIELD THEN THE DATA OF THE REMAINING 4 FIELDS SHUD BE DISPLAYED IN THE SAME SCREEN ITSELF.
    HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE...
    PLZ HELP.
    THNX IN ADV,
    SP.

    Hello SP,
    You can create a maintenance view for the table & here you can define the maintenance attribute for individual fields.
    For the fields you want to be READ-ONLY pass 'R' to those fields. (It is the 4th column from the left, the one to the immediate left of the Key column).
    Don't change the TMG function group directly. If you regenerate the TMG the changes would be overwritten !
    You can use the Event '01' to fulfill your requirement:
    *&      Form  f_event_01
    *       text
    FORM f_event_01.
      DATA: v_indx TYPE sy-index,
            v_land1 TYPE land1,
            v_name1 TYPE name1.
      FIELD-SYMBOLS: <vendor> TYPE lifnr,
                     <val> TYPE ANY.
      BREAK-POINT.
      "TOTAL contains all data which are read, changed and created in TMG
      LOOP AT total.
        IF <action> = neuer_eintrag " New Entry.
        OR <action> = aendern "Changed entry
        OR <action> = original. "Same as DB
          READ TABLE extract WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
          IF sy-subrc = 0.
            v_indx = sy-tabix.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR v_indx.
          ENDIF.
          ASSIGN COMPONENT 'LIFNR' OF STRUCTURE total TO <vendor>.
          CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
    *     select data from the LFA1 based on LIFNR
          SELECT SINGLE name1 land1 FROM lfa1
            INTO (v_name1,v_land1)
            WHERE lifnr = <vendor>.
          CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
    *     Populate the hidden fields NAME1 & LAND1
          ASSIGN COMPONENT 'NAME1' OF STRUCTURE total TO <val>.

  • How to make a pdf that has a blue clickable link? code in Wd Perfect?

    Hello,
    I make documents in WordPerfect and publish them to pdfs.
    I want to put a clickable link in the pdf. 
    do I do this in WordPerfect?  How?
    Your help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Acrobat's Link tool permits creating links.
    The discussion on using this tool starts with the following page in Acrobat's Help:

    Good to know --- WP is not supported by Acrobat as WP uses its own process to output PDF.
    How to use this is discussed in the WP community support forums that Corel maintains.
    A wealth of information there.

  • How to make a pdf (form) accessible for reader in Adobe Acrobat x pro?

    Hi guys, i have bit of a problem here as i am new to the Acrobat pro X 
    Using Acrobat pro 9 i always could save a LiveCycle pdf form with permission to fill and save as a reader user. now i have upgraded to cs6 and i have no clue how to do that anymore. The half of the options are gone and i can't access the older Acrobat pro anymore. 
    Does anyone know how to save a pdf form using Acrobat X for adobe reader users giving permission to read and save my pdf files?

    For Acrobat X go to File-> Save as->Reader Extended PDF
    This will embed the reader extended rights in PDF.

  • How to make the notification sounds play through EarPods

    The notification sounds/ringer on my iPod touch keeps playing through the external speakers even though I have EarPods plugged in. If I turn on a video of game tho, it will play through the earpods. Is it possible to make the notification sounds play through the EarPods as well?

    Hi Everyone,
    Just in case anyone else runs into this problem here is the solution that i've managed to piece together,
    I have a movie clip twice the size of the stage, the movie clip is called bg_mc, here is my actionscript...
    bg_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mouseMoveHandler);
    function mouseMoveHandler(event):void
    var cursorX = stage.stageWidth - mouseX;
    bg_mc.x -= dx / 5;
    this action script tells the movieclip to move left and right depending on where the users mouse pointer moves. (it also adds a slight delay to make it look like tweening)
    I then published this in Flash using the publish settings shown in the reply above.
    Then i went into dreamweaver and removed the margins in the html file
    Now the flash file will resize to any screen resolution and will allow the user to move the MC left / right across the screen depending on where the mouse pointer is,
    I hope this is helpful,
    Ben
