How to make adobe reader non copy-able

Hi,
I am using adobe reader 9, I need to create an PDF using MS, and I would not want the text to be copy-able,
checked the security setting, the content copable: Allowed
But I do not know how I can make it Not allowed.
Or just any way to make the content not copy-able.
Because I told my boss just use photoshop and save as PDF,
and he want it to be more simple, he want it to be done straight from MS,
and he want to make the contents non-copyable
Thanks,
Alex

More information about setting up password security is in the Acrobat help doc. For a number of tutorials about security, see: http://acrobatusers.com/learning_center/find?page=1&topic=9

  • Dev question: how to prevent Adobe Reader from copying pdfs to "Download/Adobe Reader"?

    I am making an app that downloads pdf files from a server and the users can decide to store them in the phone. Those files are kept in the app's private storage.
    The pdf files can be opened from inside the app. The problem is that every time a pdf is opened, adobe reader copies it in "Download/Adobe Reader" (the path may be different depending on the device and the android version). Those pdf files should not be available from outside my app. How can I prevent adobe reader from creating copies in that folder? Do I really have to make my app track them down and delete them? It wouldn't be the safest solution...
    In order to open the files, I se up a content provider:
    from the manifest:
    <provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="com.example.myapp.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
    </provider>
    And then, in a method, I do this:
    File pdfToRead = new File(pdfPath);
    Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.example.myapp.fileprovider", pdfToRead);
    for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : appsList) {
        String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
        context.grantUriPermission(packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    openPDF(context, uri);
    public static final void openPDF(Context context, Uri localUri) {
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        i.setDataAndType(localUri, PDF_MIME_TYPE);
        context.startActivity(i);
    Thanks for the help.

    Meh, I just hoped there was a way to tell acrobat "don't create a copy of the file because it's private". For now, I'm detecting the "downloads/Adobe Reader" folder, look if there's the file that was opened and delete it.
    Now I need to know something that I can't ask on stackoverflow: what paths does Adobe Reader use to create the "Adobe Reader" folder? Because not every device has an external sd card (external, not removable. Just for clarity). In my device it's at "Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)+"/Adobe Reader".

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file

    how do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file?

    What is your current default?  If Adobe Acrobat (X or XI), you can set it in your preferences.
    If it's another program, reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will set it to the default program.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader X my default PDF Reader (over Nitro)?

    How do I make Adobe Reader X my defaulf PDF reader (over Nitro)?

    Very helpful, slight change, after right clicking PDF causing list of possible programs, go to    Open With, then when the list comes up do not click on desired program, scan down to the bottom of pop up menu to Choose program, right click that causing another menu "Open with" window, then selectr Adobe from the list and also click the box to the left of "Always use this selected program to open this kind of file", and then click OK. 
    These variations may be due to different versions of Windows - I have XP SP3.  I consider that ~graffiti deserves 10 points for his answer!!!  I worked for teo days trying to fix thi so I can doemload legal files from PACER without having to pay their fees for my case files.

  • How to disable pop up Make Adobe Reader my default PDF Application in registry

    Hi
    I am wondering if there is a registry setting that can disable the pop-up Make Adobe Reader my default PDF Application ?
    I have seen there is a setting under Edit\Preferences\General\"Tell me if Adobe Reader is not my default PDF Application" but cannot find a registry setting to disable this. This message pops up for some users in a remote desktop session host environment even though I have disabled the messages on the session hosts.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • How do I make Adobe Reader my default PDF app.?

    Hey everybody. I haven't been around lately. Hope all are well!
    I'm trying to figure out how to make Adobe the default PDF viewer instead of Preview.
    Any ideas?
    I posted this in the Panther room, but figured I'd get a quicker response here!
    Al

    Thanks Allan.
    Good to see the usual gang is still here. Sorry for being such a stranger. I'll try and stick my head in a little more often.
    I'm still using my old beige with all the ease in the world. It's like nothing ever goes wrong anymore. I did have a little directory clutter not long ago that even gave Disk Warrior a hard time, but I prevailed in the end! This machine is so awesome.
    I never did make it out west. Right as I was ready to do it, gas went to $3.00 a gal. That killed that idea. Maybe sometime soon.
    Take care, Al

  • How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?

    How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?do I have to install adobe flash player on my ipad ?

    The flash add-on is not available for Safari on iOS. Never has been and in fact Adobe has ceased support for flash for mobile devices in general. Your options, depending on the specific sites:
    See if the site or sites in question have their own apps availabel in teh app store
    Look into some browsers such as Puffin adn iSwifter (there are others, I beleive). These browsers use a third server site to translate the flsh content into a form that the iPAd can use and restreams them to you. They may not work with all content.
    Use a computer capable of running flash.
    Seek a source of the conent that is designed for non flash use.

  • How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

    There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly.  I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
    How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
    Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App.  Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
    APB

    Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
    What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
    Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
    - Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
      - Touch "Open in..."
      - Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
    We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

    How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

    you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
    In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

    Hi,
    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

          MODIFY SCREEN.
        endif.
        ENDLOOP.

    Or you can go the Layout of the table control in Change mode and for every column's attributes, make it 'Output' only field. Check  'Output only' field.
