How to open Password proteced PDFs ?

Hi,
I have some work related PDFs with me which are password protected. I can access it via Adobe from my Windows PC at work. At home I usually use Preview to open PDF files, but unable to use it to open password protected PDFs. Any workaround to open them without installing Adobe ?

I have opened secure PDF files with preview multiple times. I would like to ask you a few questions to get a better idea of what is happening with your situation. With it being password protected is it an automatic authentication that takes place at work, or do you know the password? What happens when you try to open it on your Mac?

  • Unable to open password protected PDF in safari

    Dear all, I'm new in using iPhone safari. I have problem in opening password protected PDF file from safari. Do you have any solution or workaround to resolve this problem
    Regards

    You can put pretty much any character into the encryption password for a PDF file apart from control codes (carriage returns, backspaces, etc), but whether the vendor's website can is another matter!
    As you seem to have a PDF with a user password that isn't what you expected, there's nothing you can do to remove it other than perhaps trying a version without the quote characters, or with a backslash in front of the quote (it's possible they escaped the string on the login form in preparation for storing it in a database, and forgot to unescape it again).

  • Can't open password protected PDF files.

    As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
    I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
    I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
    Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

    how to open password restrictions? forgotten password you set

    If you've been backing up your iPhone with iTunes the following guide can help you extract the files from that backup and get the restrictions passcode - but Apple made a change that prevents this from working but it still works on older backups if you have one:

    EDIT PORTION:

    But you're right.. nothing mentioned about a build..  >> SORRY: Not Duplicate Post <<

  • Open password protected PDF in website

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me. Greatly appreciate it.
    My website has PDF documents that's available for registered users to view online (through my site) only.
    Currently, I can't find any solutions to prevent users from downloading/"save-as" the PDF doc in their local drives, so I'm thinking of password-protecting these PDFs. This will ensure that they'd not be able to view the PDFs even though they download it and save-as local.
    However, how do I open these password-protected PDFs on my site?
    When I point/redirect to these PDFs, it will prompt for password.
    It'd defeat all protection intent if I were to give the password to the user to enter, right?
    Example:
    1. Response.Redirect("mySecuredPdf.pdf")
    2. The browser will then prompt user for password.
    What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
    I cannot remove password, because I want to prevent users from downloading and then opening it later, or redistributing the file.
    btw, i'm using ASP.NET.
    Please help.

    There's a similar thread in the Acrobat Windows section, and the answer is the same - only a DRM system with a client UI (such as Adobe Digital Editions) can restrict the *use* of a file. You cannot prevent the client downloading and saving it, as otherwise they can't see it on their screen. The page you're reading now is not on a computer at Adobe - it's on yours.
    > What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
    I think you're getting the flow a little backwards - the PDF is 'opened' by the client, using their copy of Adobe Reader (or whatever). The webserver has nothing to do with the process other than blindly sending the file's 1s and 0s down a wire, so can't do anything to directly control the client's desktop applications.

  • How to break password from PDF using acrobat library?

    I am using "Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc" object and on open method call it is returning false for a password protected file. How can I check the pdf file is password protected by passing the pathname as an argunment? and once identified as a password protected PDF, How can I remove the password using the Acrobat Class?

    If it fails to open, then it’s probably password protected.
    There are no APIs to remove the password, assuming you have it.
    Removing it w/o the actual password would be illegal.

  • How to open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents

    My problem is how to use my BB 9800 software version 6.0.0.546 to read/view pdf files and microsoft office documents. I have also bought documents to go from online and have installed it on my phone, but whenever i try to open it I receive a message that it is incompactible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, Sammy.
    Why not install a 3rd party PDF reader and Word Doc reader to help open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related converting work.  It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.
