Yes they are opening secured, example I am a realtor I create a contract and save it when I go back to edit it now it doesn't allow me to make changes. But I've done it before, that's why I'm confused I think I just did an adobe update and then the problem started.
Still not much info to go on but if I had to guess, it sounds like you may be using Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) or some other pdf generating software to create the pdf and then trying to edit it using Adobe Acrobat Reader which basically cannot edit files.
To be sure we would need more info...
How exactly are you creating these files (describe your process)?
What do you mean by it doesn't allow you to make changes? What kind of changes are you trying to make? What happens when you try and make them?
What version of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader do you have?
When you open the pdf, what software is being used to open it?

    Go to Options>Applications>click on, in your case, Adobe Acrobat entries and select "Use Adobe Acrobat(in Firefox)" or as you wish.

    My mailing system won't work, and I see many here have had the same problem. so I tried the suggestions I could find. Last thing I tried was deleting my mailing account, so that I could restore it again. Internet is working, everything else is working, plenty of space BUT now my email won't even be restored. Not any of my other mailing accounts either for that matter.
    Background information:
    I use yahoo (the one I prefer by far), sometimes gmail, hotmail if I absolutely have to
    My ipad is ipad 2, 1 year old
    problem with the mailing system started less than a month ago
    iåproblem was that it wouldnt refresh and find new mails, also took a long time sending mails

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

  • When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

    When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

    Hi conversionnewbie,
    Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
    Please let us know that works for you!
    Best,
    Sara

  • How scan a text document and save as editable text not image

    I have a new ENVY 5660 and a macbook pro running yosemite.  When I scan a text document and try to save it, I am only given a choice of image formats.  How can I save it as an editable text in pages or word?

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are wondering how to scan a text document, and save as editable text, and not a image, with your HP Envy 5660, on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to look into this for you!  According to your printer's specifications, it states: NOTE: Integrated OCR software is available only with Officejet 5740 and 8040 models. Which means, this software is not included with this printer. You might be able to perform this operation, if you are able to get third-party OCR software. Such as: ReadIris.  Hope this answers your question!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

    Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?
    If not, what is the alternative?
    Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
    Many thanks

    It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
    On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
    A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

  • In my Music Library the MPEG format files are greyed out and I cannot edit them, any ideas?

    I have imported both ACC and MPEG files into my Itunes music library. On the ACC tunes I can edit information through Get Info command. On the MPEG tunes I cannot edit the information through Get Info command as all entries are greyed out. Any ideas?

  • Cannot create new page nor website and worse cannot edit existing websites

    When I click on File in the menu the only options that work are Setup Google AdSense and Page Setup...
    All other options are grey and cannot be accessed. This means that I cannot edit my existing websites which is a major problem.
    Any idea? Reinstalling iWeb did not help.

  • I download different documents and forms to my computer and then when I try to open them I can't. I installed 'Open It', but it is not among the choices given.

    I have so much trouble opening documents etc. I can't even open the folders in my Mozilla profile like my favorites. Its a JSON file. Why does Mozilla use files that I can't open?
    removed email address from public as per [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-rules-and-guidelines Forum rules and guidelines]

    ''' "Why does Mozilla use files that I can't open?" '''
    The bookmarks backup JSON files '''''are''''' human readable in a text program like Notepad or Wordpad. But those JSON files don't have any separate lines of numbers and text they're one long line. Those files are made to do their job in Firefox, not to be looked at by users.
    What type of problem do you have that prompted you to attempt to read a file like that?
