Need a password to open pdf

I downloaded Reader X on my Windows XP and now when I open PDF files Reader is asking for a password. I've tried all known passwords I've used on Adobe and nothing works. Talked to an Adobe tech and he doesn't know why it's asking for a password to open file. Adobe never asked for a password before to open pdf files. Help

What is the exact message you get?
I've never heard of it asking for a password either unless one is required for the actual PDF itself.

Why do I need a password to open some documents and were must I get it

Where do we find these password and how do we create them

Hi,
You are prompted to enter the password in some of the pdf files while you are trying to open them in Adobe Reade is due to the fact that they are password protected/encrypted.
You can get the password of these pdf files from their creators.
Thanks,

What software do I need to password protect a PDF?

We currently have Adobe Premiere Elements9, Photoshop, & Acrobat 9 Standard. Do we need to purchase another product in order to have the capabilities to password protect a .pdf file?

Hi HonorHomes,
You have what you need! You can assign a password to your PDF in Acrobat. Here's a tutorial that shows you how: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-acrobat-9/protecting-your-pdf-using-a-password/

Why can't I open pdf in Windows 7/Int Ex 8?

Hi there
Since I upgraded my pc and it came with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 I can no longer open a pdf file by clicking it. I have to go to the file location in my documents, right click it and then click on Open with.....
I keep forgetting and just click it like I always used to and word processor opens saying it cannot open the file. Is there a way that I can set the default to pdf rather than word as I rarely open a word document?
Many thanks

It appears as if Adobe Reader is not correctly installed. Try installing the latest version 9.2 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - make sure that you uncheck any unwanted software bundled with the download.
P.S. no, you don't need Flash Player to open PDF files.

Why can't I open pdf files allthough having adobe reader 9 preinstalled on my new windows 7 laptop?

Hi!
I think my question might be simple to answer, so please if you read this give it a try...
I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 on it. Adobe Reader 9 was allready installed. I wanted to open simple pdf files, but I got the message "Adobe Reader ?" in an empty field that pops up.
Why can't I open pdf files? Do I also need to install the Adobe Flash Player as well?
I would be very glad if you could give me a hint.
Thanx

Can't open my 2012 tax pdf - says I need a password???

can't open my 2012 tax pdf - says I need a password???

That will not be to do with Digital Editions. Try the Reader forum.
You probably put a password on it when you created it?

PDF Document requests a password for opening despite not setting it up to do so

I created a secure pdf document that is to be downloaded from a web site. Upon downloading, users should be able to open/view the pdf without having to enter a password, but would need a password to be able to edit or make changes to the document. When testing the document and downloading from the web site, I am prompted for a password even though I did not set the pdf to request one for opening the document.
Can someone please help me undertand what's going on. I've tried a million things with no luck!
Thanks!

Can you post the file somewhere for us to look at?

Linked PDF with Open Doc password- false, Edit Permissions- true, requires password to open AI doc

I would like to password protect editing of a placed PDF. I have set the PDF Open Doc password to false and the Edit permissions to true. Illustrator still requires the permissions password to OPEN the Illustrator document. This would defeat the purpose, no?

Well, it does seem to work, sort of. The Illustrator document with a placed, protected PDF asks for the password when opening. The password is also required when attempting to embed (edit) the linked PDF, as expected.
I would think the correct behavior should be for the Open Document password protection (or lack of) to control opening the Illustrator document and the Edit Permissions password to be applied when embedding or flattening the linked PDF, making it accessable to editing. Acrobat seems to be able to make this distinction.
This would be a significant feature for users who need to restrict editing of sensitive portions of their layouts while allowing necessary prepress work downstream.

Trying to open pdf's but they are now password protected, why and how do I change this

why
did this happen and how do i open pdfs without needing a password that i dont have

When you share an iCloud account any synced data such as contacts is merged. Also, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the other. (That's what iCloud does; it syncs changes across your devices so they maintain consistent data.) Unfortunately, you contacts are no longer in iCloud. Your only option is to try restoring your phone to your last backup, which may recover your contacts.
To sort out your iCloud issue, one of the phones need to be migrated to a separate account. On the phone that will be moving, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your daughter's data from your account, and vice versa).
Another thing to avoid is using the same ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. If you do, you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you're doing this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (such as your iCloud ID). Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

What is the Parameter values for passing a password to open a pdf

I need help in finding the Parameter values for passing a password to open a pdf(s)? The software is written in Delphi.

The Copy Protection only protects our Disk from being duplicated and also protects our Software from being copied and used locally.
As far as the password encryption, that is why I created the Post. I was hoping that the password can be coded in our Software to open the password protect PDF that we create. This option would of gave us the security for when the customer copies the pdf to there local drive they would be required to input the password which they would not have access to.
