Is it possible with Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF that has multiple usernames/passwors for read access and individualised watermarks or with any other adobe product?

Hi,
  We're looking for a solution where a PDF can be created and distributed to multiple people - each with their own username/password to open - and also when opened created a user based water mark on the document. Is this something that can be done inside Acrobat Pro or is there a higher end product that does this?
Thanks!

If the list of people who and only who you want to be able to open this PDF is predefined, then you can use Certificate Encryption in Acrobat. For this method to work each of possible recipients of the encrypted PDF needs to procure a digital certificate with a private key enabled for encryption and send you the public key version of this certificate. Then you encrypt this PDF with public key certificates (there may be many of them) of all recipients you want to be able to open this PDF. Then you distribute this PDF to all recipients and each of them can then open this PDF with their private key certificates.
You can also create PDFs with Optional Content which contains different watermarks with the selector for a watermark based on user ID or some other identification of the user. I do not know, though how to create such Optional Content using just Acrobat Pro. You may need to write a plugin to Acrobat to do that.

  • Creating a PDF that has editable fields and replaceable images

    I've been trying to figure out how I can create a PDF that has editable texts and replaceable images. I'm working for a company in which all computers only have Adobe Reader as means to view or edit a PDF file. So far I have managed to create a file that has editable text fields with customized appearance, which is great! The next step however was to create 'fields' that can be filled by an image. Is there a way to create replaceable images with LiveCycle or any other prorgram for that matter.
    My goal is simple: Create a PDF that has editable textfields and replaceable images. All of which should be done in Adobe Reader.
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create this file and I'm wondering if Live Cycle can help me with this problem, or if this is even possible to begin with. Thanks in advance.

    Your goal is very simple with the LCD. You are have to use only an Image Field (important no Image) from the object library.
    Any time you can click on it and select a new picture.
    Hope this information is helpful?

  • BPC link with any other SAP products?

    Hi, Prakash
    I am wondering how BPC communicate with any other SAP products? using RFC? Can we load the data from ECC into BPC?
    Thanks
    C.S.

    Hi Chimei,
    We are currently going to kickstart our BPC project.
    We went through the process of evaluating products which can help easy extraction of data from SAP products into Outlooksoft.
    There is a company called ERPLink which has a product suite called iNet.BI which helps enable this. It is very inexpensive (17K for software with 17% annual maintenance charges). This product is SAP certified and has ability to read metadata from SAP modules. It can extract data from BW environments (Cubes, queries of ODS objects) and from R/3 environments (via ABAP report programs with their embedded macros & direct table views). From the product demo, the user interface seemed simplistic. The product is installed on the Outlooksoft environment and uses SQL*Server Information Services (DTS packages) to do the load from SAP source system to Outlooksoft.
    You might want to consider this product as an alternative to Flat File loads.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to create a PDF that prints at actual size for all printers

    I create printable educational products for teachers and homeschoolers.  I need to be able to make some printable PDFs that have cards set to a specific dimension, say 3" x 3".  When I create PDFs in InDesign and print them, the printer tends to shrink the PDF down.  This happens even when I set the Page Scaling to None.  But regardless of what my printer does, I would like to be able to create PDFs that print at actual size for anyone who purchases my products.  How can this be done?  Can I change the settings when I create the PDF?  Do I need to includes special instructions with my products?  Thanks so much for your help.

    You can specify the printing process in the PDF for Acrobat and Reader, open the PDF in Acrobat > file properties (right mouse click on the page) and in the extended tab (the most right tab) you can set printing not to scale for that PDF as default setting.

  • I purchased a book through iTunes and it downloaded. I synced with my iPad. It shows the book is downloading but that has been going on for two hours and i still can't open the book.

    I purchased a book through iTunes. I then synced my iPad and went to iBooks. I clicked on the book and it shows downloading but that has been going on for almost two hours and i still can't open the book. What gives? I have done this before no problem.

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Or you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Can Acrobat create PDF files that once downloaded - can't be opened after some preset time (48 hours)?

    Hi Edward lkeda,
    I am not very sure of that however as per my knowledge , you can use Adobe send service and provide public link to your users and then after 48 hrs you can delete the file from server and make File-link inaccessible.
    Hope that helps,

    Which Adobe product can create a PDF that cannot be altered or printed by the recipient?

    Hi quoman,
    It sounds like you're asking how to add security to a PDF file. You'll need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do that. If you don't have Acrobat, you may try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

    Dear All,
    I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast  two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
    I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
    When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
    However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say,  three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join  them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
    Please help me out.
    I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.

    I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.
    I can also work on linux for free products that come with it.

    But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
    even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
    and give impression of user-centeredness.

    Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
    I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
    extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

    Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
    know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
    I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
    possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
    miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
    and then with no details.

  • Creating a .pdf that someone can sign digitally

    Where I work we FAX out hundreds of drawings per year for customers to sign.  These are 8.5" x 11" documents usually between one and five pages.  Is there anyway to create a .pdf that that has some kind of signature line or signature button that the customer can click to indicate approval of the drawing?  This would alleviate the need for both the original FAX and for the customer's return FAX.  I know how to create the .pdf but don't know how to put in a signature option.
    We are using Adobe CS3.  We also have Adobe Acrobat 9 and LiveCycle Designer ES2.
    Thank you.

    With Acrobat 8 (Pro or 3D) or Acrobat 9 (Standard, Pro, Pro Extended) you can "Reader enable" a PDF.
    One thing this provides is that users of Adobe Reader (back to, I think, Reader 7.(something)) can use the Comments & Markup tools.
    So, you send me this PDF of a drawing. It is "Reader enabled".
    I use Adobe Reader (knowing "good tools" is "good business", I'm using Reader 9 - fully updated <g>).
    I open the PDF. I add a "Sticky Note", maybe add some text, and use the Options drop-down to go to Set Status > Review > Accepted.
    Maybe I get fancy and go into the Sticky Note Properties to change the "appearance" from the default "Comments" to one of the other icons available.
    You get the annotated PDFs back. Perhaps an individual PDF has more than one annotation.
    Open the Comments List. Looking over the Tool bar for this you will see that you can show/hide/sort and output PDF reports.
    Of course, a small learning curve is involved.
    Pay off is that the turnips go to market via a truck versus a horse drawn cart (fax).  8^)
    Be well...
