Is there a way to prevent "Save As" functionality on a PDF document?

I know how to password protect the document so it can not be printed, and edited but "Save As" still seems to be an option. Is there a way to set the PDF so it can be viewed only?

You can always copy the PDF file and change its name outside Acrobat (File Explorer on Win, Finder on Mac), so what's the point to disable "Save as"?

    The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

  • Is there any way to batch-save emails and attachments as PDFs?

    As I move toward a paperless office, I sure would like a way to batch save a group of emails AND their attachments as a single PDF. I can open each email and save it as a PDF, but when I have 10+ emails exchanged on a topic (like from other board members), I really don't want to do that. Has anyone heard of being able to do what I want?
    I am not conversant in AppleScript AT ALL, and my one attempt to try to make a script for this went down in flames.

    If you select a group of emails at one time, you can choose print and save a PDF.
    If you want them all to be in one PDF file instead of individual pdf files, then save them to a folder.
    With Preview, you can combine pdf files into one.
    Open the first file with Preview. Open the sidebar in Preview and you will see the icon of the file you have open. Select the rest of the files you saved in the folder and drag them on top of the icon in the Preview sidebar. You should see a box appear around the icon. Drop the files on top and it should group them together.
    Then save the file. It should have all the emails combined to that one file.

  • I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF file to my iPad, via a Hotmail email. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad in Mail already opended, as a picture on the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent it from auto open, so I can open with iBooks instead?

    I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?

    I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
    When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
    Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

  • Is there a way to prevent psd from being the default file extension?

    In previous versions, psd was added automatically if the document was layered. Since I don't use psd, I had to manually change to tiff.
    But I'm finding that even flat (unlayered) files that came in as jpgs have psd inserted as the default. I would have thought that, by default, a file could stay whatever it started out being. (Whether jpg or tiff, flat or layered).
    This happens when I "save as" even when I don't change the name of the file, only save it in a different location (such as a jpg file from a flashcard being saved to computer).
    Is there a way to prevent the extra step of rejecting psd? Is there a preference or something I have missed?

    Although the little camera I was using doesn't capture 16 bit, I did run the jpgs briefly through ACR to try out the shadows/highlight feature since the photos were perfect candidates. My preference there is to convert to 16 bit ProPhoto so maybe--even though the files opened as jpgs. That might be the problem: maybe bit depth is the trigger for psd assignment. Still, I wish there was a way to disable it.

  • Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

    Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

    No
    he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
    How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

  • I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update.  Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

    I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone.  Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

    Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
    Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
    That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
    BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

    Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
    Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

    How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
    The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

  • Is there a way to prevent an account with no administrative rights to install firefox to their local profile on Windows XP?

    Our users are normally not allowed to install any programs since their user accounts do not have administrative rights to their pc's. Has this been a feature in FireFox before?
    We noticed that one user was able to simply download firefox, run the installation setup, and the setup would default to install firefox under their local desktop profile instead of the usual c:\Program Files folder.
    ie. c:\Documents and Settings\userid\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla Firefox\
    Is there a way to prevent this from happening? We do not want to allow our users to be able to install any programs without our knowledge.

    The Skype add-in was the culprit in my case. Disabling it fixed the problem. As soon as I enable it, the problem comes back.
