Is there a way to protect a PDF document as with a Microsoft Word document?

Is there a way to protect a PDF document similar to a Microsoft Word document?

Hi ,
If you could specify how exactly you want to protect the PDF that would be great .
However there are various options to protect a PDF available in Acrobat as well .
If you select the protection option in Acrobat,you will get to see several options of protecting or encrypting a PDF .
You can encrypt it with with a password or a certificate .
You can even redact a PDF if you want .
Please go ahead and have a look at the options available to get more details and ways to protect a PDF .
Let us know if that suits your requirement .

Can I protect my PDF form similar to a Microsoft Word protected template?

I have a PDF form that I created in Acrobat XI Pro.
I need to be able to enter data into the form fields and save that data under a new name, so I have enabled reader extensions for this.
When I create a form in Microsoft Word, I have the ability to save the form as a "template" file (with a .dotx filename extension). This is great because it protects my original form: When the user double-clicks to open the template form file, it only opens a COPY of the form, not the original.
Soo.... is there a way to do something similar to the Word template feature in Acrobat XI Pro?? It's a form, so I don't want to restrict my ability to edit it (add data to the form fields), and I have to be able to save the data under a new file name.
Any help would be great appreciated!!

You can set the file itself as read-only... But the users of it will always
be able to change it back, if they wanted to.

How to convert a PDF to save as .doc microsoft word document

I purchased from an online source a resume which was sent to me via PDF using Adobe. I would like to save the PDF as a word document and when I press download and asked to convert to MS it just takes me back like a revollving door to advertisement for purchasing Adobe and back to the PDF file again. Please help me get my PDF converted to a word document. Does anyone out there know of a way ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi kathyv30365453,
You can convert PDF to Word using either the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat. I checked your account, and it doesn't look like you've purchased an ExportPDF subscription. If you want to give Acrobat a try, you're welcome to download a 30-day trial from the link I reference above. In Acrobat, you choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
Best,
Sara

Is there a way to protect a folder's contents with a password?

I wish to keep the documents in a particular folder private. Am I able to set up a password to prevent access to the folder's contents?

Disk Utility -> File menu -> New blank image -> Choose the maximum size, select Sparse Bundle, and specify the level of encryption you want.
Once the image is created, double click it. This will mount a virtual "drive" on the desktop. Put your files inside the drive. Eject the drive when done, and your files are protected and encrypted inside the disk image.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

Hi Kiana,
As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
Thanks!

For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.

Drag them to your iTunes library. Download the free iBooks app. Select the PDFs you want too sync in the iTunes books pane. The iBooks app will show your books collection or your PDFs collection as you select.

Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email?
I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

Are we talking about a spread? ie the pdf spans 2 pages side by side? Like in a magazine centrefold.
That requires you to insert the pdf on both pages, one hanging half over to the right and the other half over to the left.

Is there a way to edit a PDF with a full blown version of Adobe 5.0

Is there a way to edit a PDF with Acrobat 5

If it is a form, then there should be fillable fields that change to an I-bar as you move the hand over the field. If the hand does not change, then it is not technically a form -- only looks like one. You can use the form tool in AA5 to add fields to complete, use the typewriter tool (or it is some other name in AA5), or select the text touch up tool and hold down the ctrl key as you place the cursor to create a new text box.

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?
