How to PASSWORD PROTECT eps files

i want to password protect files that i am giving to a client. i know they have attempted to alter my artwork in the past and though they are probably within their legal rights do so i do not like it! i would like to discourage this by using password protection. they are not art people but like like to fiddle around with files. is there a way to do this? a 3rd party program that can help me do this? anything? please??
thanks
erika

Erika:
Depending on your contractual stipulations
(you do have some sort of contract, right!), the odds are they have every right to mess up your art. If you work directly for them or are under some sort of work-for-hire arrangement it is their artwork to screw up.
(Imagine you hired a builder to build a house for you and he wouldn't give you the keys because you'd start living in it!)
If you are under a work-for-hire contract it should also be clearly spelled out that you are not responsible for changes made by the client and any fixes / alterations following from their changes are not covered by the current contract.
(Think about the builder again you are playing football in the house and knock someone through a wall. Who pays for that? Not the builder!)
In other words, you give them their art
(which is theirs), they screw it up, they have to pay you under a new contract to fix it back up. You, being the resourceful type, have your own clean files which you will put on a CD for them and deliver them by day's end after telling them it will take a day or two to get the items together.
NEVER work without a contract
(unless you're a employee of theirs, then you're out of luck).
Cheers!

How to password protect numbers file on iphone?

How to password protect numbers file on iphone?
I've made a password protected numbers file on iMac and saved it to itunes.
When i open this file on my iphone for the first time i have to type in the password. But afterwards it's not protected anymore and i can open the file without the password!
How can i secure my files?

There is at this time no way to put a password in the Numbers app nor on a Numbers spreadsheet, and as Michael said it's not something a third-party developer could add. You can suggest that Apple add a password feature via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
or you can look for a third-party spreadsheet app that does allow password-protecting a sheet. Documents To Go from Dataviz is a commonly-recommended app that supports spreadsheets, but I don't know if they support passwording.

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

How to Password Protect a Directory so all Files are Protected?

Hello CFers and Happy Holidays,
I am moving a web site over from a Linux server over to a
Windows 2000 server. The site was currently password protected via
the oh so familiar .htaccess method on the Linux server. Now that
the site is on IIS on Windows, the .htaccess files don't work.
I have created a MSSQL database with a users table that
contains all of the username and passwords that are allowed to
access the site.
Normally I would just log users in by querying the database,
setting a session variable, and then using application.cfm to check
to make sure the users is logged in. However, in this particualr
site, most of the files are made up of .htm files which do not get
processed by the ColdFusion application.cfm tag.
Several posts indicated that I would need to disable
anonymous access within IIS and then create the individual user
accounts within Administrative Tools > Computer Management >
Users and Groups. However, in this case, I don't want to create
thousands of new users within windows.
Is there a way for me to password protect all files within a
directory while still using the accounts set up in my MSSQL
database for authentication?
Thanks,
David Levin

How many users did you have in your .htaccess config? That's
how many
you'd need to set up in IIS. With IIS & file system
permissions you're
effecting the same thing you would with Apache's .htaccess
authorisation.
Except using GUI tools rather than text files; it's the same
principle,
though.
Or... you could just install Apache and use that instead,
sticking with the
approach you're used to.

How to display in browser a password protected pdf file I created?

I created a password protected pdf file.
I want to display the file in browser so that viewers can only view it online.
It is better that viewers cannot download it.
But I donot know how to prevent viewers downloading the file.
Since the pdf is password protected, viewers don't have the password even they download it.
But how can I display the password protected pdf file in browser when I know the password?
Or is there a better to just viewers see the pdf file online and prevent them from downloading and printing it?

Any file on the web has to be copied to the local machine in order for the file content to be presented to the viewer. That's how the "www" is built. So, to make use of your web based PDF the file has to be downloaded to the local machine. This might be to the local machine's temporary internet / browser cache or (via a 'save this to my computer') to some other location on the local machine's HDD. Bottom line -- web based files get downloaded this is the case for protected file or a non-protected file.
Be well...

How create encrypted/password-protected zip file?

Any idea if there's a way with the Java API to create an encrypted and password-protected ZIP file? I know how to create a zip file with Java, but I need encryption and password protection.

Thanks for the link, but that's not a solution. It's 3 years old (and still not resolved) and I'm looking for a Java solution.

Acrobat 8.1 and C# - How can you detect password protected PDF files?

I am modifying our existing C# code that opens PDF files. But when ever we hit a password protected file, we are prompted for a password. This is an automated process, so if we detect a password protected file, we move the file to a manual processing folder to be processed later.
We are using Acrobat 8.1 Standard.
Our code looks like this:
using
System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Linq;
using
System.Text;
using
Acrobat;
using
System.IO;
using
Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using
System.Reflection;
     AcroApp app = new AcroApp();     app.Hide();
     try
          if (app != null)          {
               app.CloseAllDocs();
               AcroAVDoc av = new AcroAVDoc();
               if (av.Open(filename, "Test") == true)               {
                    AcroPDDoc doc = new AcroPDDoc();                    doc = (
AcroPDDoc)av.GetPDDoc();
                    doc.Save((
short)Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull,
                    Utilities.GeneratePath(FileVersion.TEMP) + fi.Name.RemoveFileExtension() + ".PDF");                    doc.Close();
     catch (Exception ex)     {
          ErrorLog.LogError(filename.RemoveFileExtension(), ex);     }
     finally
          app.CloseAllDocs();
          app.Exit();
This works great for non-password protected PDF files, but it prompts for a password if the file is password protected. I was looking at the FileOpenEX functionality, but I can not find the reference to bring into my C# project. It looks like it is only for C++, since I could only find C++ examples.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

There are no methods in the Acrobat SDK for C# for what you wish to accomplish.

How to recover password Protected PDF Files

Hi ALL,
DO we have an option to recover password protected pdf files locked with acrobat.I didnt remember password's of some of my old pdf files
Thanks,
Mark
http://infopeer.com

I would just ask the 3rd party that created the PDF if they could supply unencrypted files. If there is some reason they will not, I am surprised that they have not restricted printing. Normally when Acrobat security is set, you can not print to a new PDF, even if printing is allowed. One option is to provide the ID and password to the other folks who need to review the PDFs. On the surface, there seems to be a license issue with what you are trying to do and you may need to be careful that the company is not at risk. That is why I am suggesting to coordinate with the 3rd party.
Sorry. I don't have a solution but just the statement of concern.
