Is it possible to lock a document to prevent others from editing it?

I see that in the inspector you can password protect a document to stop them from opening it, but I see no similar feature that allows people to view the document but not edit it. Is this possible with Pages? Or must I convert to a pdf?

That's what pdfs are for.

Is it possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

please explain wheterit is possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

You want to process code on one machine, and thereby lock the keyboard on another machine? No, that's not possible. It is extremely far from possible.
Of course, if the client is running software with security holes in it you might hack into it and crash the thing. This will lock up the keyboard pretty good. I hope that's not what you want ...
Or are you talking about a setup where you already have code running on the client, and some sort of communication between client and server? In that case what you need to know is whether it is possible to lock the keyboard at all. Once you have figured that out, it is trivial to add the communication code to have the server software tell the client software to lock the keyboard.
So what do you mean with "lock the keyboard"? It's pretty easy to remove/disable all keyboard related listeners in your own application. It's a lot harder (and AFAIK impossible with pure java) to disable alt-tabbing out of the application. And impossible, except from exploiting security holes, to lock the ctrl-alt-delete-combination on windows machine.

Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in Adobe Digital Editions?

Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in different windows in Adobe Digital Editions like Adobe Reader ?

As far as I know, it isn't.
You can run both ADE2.0 and ADE 1.7.2 at the same time, with different books open.
Also Sony Reader (free download intended for Sony eReader users, but works even without) will let you have a third book open.
~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Locking a cell to prevent it from being overwritten

I want to create a table that restricts data entry to specific cells within the table, keeping cells with formulas that calculate data from being overwritten but I am not seeing any way to "protect" cells from inadvertent data entry. Putting an object over the top of a cell or range of cells and setting its opacity to 0 and then locking it keeps you from selecting the underlying cell with the mouse but you can still tab over to the cell with the direction keys and enter data. Is there a way to lock/protect a cell to keep it from being overwritten?

b,
This is an area that Numbers can't really address effectively. The designers don't seem to have considered the possibility of having a document designed by one user and used by others less knowledgeable or trustworthy or careful. If you don't like the workarounds that you found in other discussions your best course is to use another program for now and submit Feedback to Apple if you want to influence future development.

How do I lock a document to prevent editing

With the free Reader, you can't.
You need Acrobat or Adobe's CreatePDF online service.

How To: Lock a folder to prevent it being deleted but still access it?

How can I lock a folder to prevent it from being moved or trashed but still have access to move/add folders within that folder?
The scenario is that we have a daily jobs folder and a final jobs folder. The daily jobs folder was accidently moved into an active job folder. I want these folders locked down so this cannot happen but when I use the lock feature nothing can be moved in or out of that folder.
Under OS9 the locked box specifically said "cannot move, rename or delete this item" yet you could add or delete items to that folder all day long.
If I try this with OSX I need to authenticate each bloody time! I just want to lock a folder down and have it accessable by anyone, anywhere, anytime without the need to type a password 80 times a day. HELP ME PLEEZE
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Read only access will prevent the addition or removal of items in the folder you set the permissions on; the folders below that one have different access settings, which can be less restrictive than those for the folder you set it on.
For example, if folder A contains B and C, and B allows Read & Write access but A allows Read Only access, items can be added and removed from B, but B itself cannot be moved out of A, and other items cannot be moved in to or out of A. If a folder your account has Read access to is inside a folder which your account doesn't, you can use the Finder's Go to Folder command in the Go menu to navigate to it if its path is known.

Is it possible to lock cells in a shared document?

I would like to share a document and only allow certain cells to be available for changes in the data in those cells. Some cells will have formulas I don't want changed. Is it possible to lock a cell or range of cells so they can't be changed? Thanks for any help you can give.

they added password protection for the whole document, but I don't know about individual cells. that would require sheet or table level password protection, which isn't available.

Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

As stated, no way to do exactly what you want, but an option might be to turn OFF Visibility for that Layer, if you do not want it seen, and then Flatten, and do a Save_As.
If you do want that Layer seen, but not able to be edited, then Flatten, with Visibility ON, and Save_As.
The question is, do you want the recipient to see that Layer, or not?
Next, Do they need to be able to edit all other Layers, but just not that one?
Last, what type of Layer is it?
Good luck,

Is it possible to lock an appraisal document?

Hi,
One of the client requirement is to lock the incomplete appraisal document from editing. Is there a function available to lock the document from editing? Does any one know how to do it?.
Many thanks,

Hi Terence,
I think you are looking for a more permanent lock on the document.
What you can do is make sure you have a status or sub-status configured for the appraisal template. This is configured on the status_flow tab.
For this custom status you would make sure the Person Authorized is some Role other than the appraiser / appraisee. You can configure a custom role.
You would basically jerry-rig the template so that when the document is moved into that sub-status neither the appraiser / appraisee can move the document forward or backward, and you make the document have a read-only status.
Than to make this work, when the documents are live, a performance management adminstrator can go into phap_admin and manually mass move all the document status to the limbo status you configured. Once you want to unlock it again, the adminstrators would move it back to a document status that then gives the appraisee or appraiser control on the document.
hope this helps, let me know if you like the idea.

Are parts of a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat Pro able to be secured so that once the recipient fills out a specific section, signs it, and submits it to the original sender, that information filled out is locked from editing for security purposes? If so,

I have an application I'm submitting to our school website for potential students to fill out. There are sections for the student(s) to fill out as well as sections for staff to fill out. For the sake of security for the student filling out the form, I'd like to set it up so that once the student has filled out the proper sections and submits the information, any information filled out and signed by the student is locked from editing on my part. I only need to read what the student filled out and signed, then add my notes to Staff sections. Is this possible? If so, how? I need details!

You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.

Dave,
I will +1 Pixelan's products. They are great, simple, and have about the best support that I know of. When you explore, say Pixelan's SpiceMaster, dig deeply. Things appear rather mundane, on the surface, but there is so very much power lurking, just below the surface. I could almost imagine a 1000 page manual to cover every possible aspect of that program... Every time that I use it, I learn something new, and wonderful.
Good luck,

Is it possible to lock an invididual folder?

Despite the advances of Mac OSX it still does not seem possible to completely lock a Folder independently of other folders, or am I completely mistaken?
I have in the past done <command i> and tried to fiddle around with Permissions/Read Write etc but what I would ideally like to do is securely protect a single folder by password.
This means that I can walk away from my desk for a few minutes without logging out confident that no one can access the most sensitive folders.
Is this not a simple desirable basic feature and is it at all possible?
cheers in advance
M S

I think your best choice would be to create an encrypted folder and just keep your sensitive documents there.
http://www.macworld.com/article/53658/2006/10/decmobilemac.html
A couple of caveats... do not click on "Save Password" or else the password will be supplied automatically. 256-bit encryption is now available.
