Open a PDF with restricted tools

I heard that there is a lot what can be done with a PDF via scripting (restrictions in the PDF itself, not an extra viewer application) .
What we should like to do in the PDF itself:
- Use Local Fonts (disabled and not possible to enable)
- Formfields allowed
- Digital signatures allowed
- Only the following commenting tools allowed
- Rectangle Tool
- Line Tool
- Overprint option (enabled and not possible to disable)
- Print menu Advanced
- Enable "Simulate overprinting" and not possible to disable
- Printer profile "Same as source (no color management)" and not possible to disable.
- PDF should be compatible with Acrobat 5, 6, 7 and 8 (also for Acrobat Reader)
If this all is possible how can we add the script in the PDF ?

I´m looking for some of this, too. E.g. I want to have a button
in a PDF that toggles the "Overprint" option, I want to read out settings of "Use Local Fonts" and set it ---
Setting Overprint works with a
app.execMenuItem("Overprint");
in Acrobat 7 -- however in Acorbat 8 it fails due to security restrictions ?
Is there a way around this? (trustedFunctions only work on initializing the applications, batch and... )

    Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch"  does anyone have a way to fix this?

    Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
    Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
    In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
    Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
    To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.

    Hi  Bruce,
    Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and  check.
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

    Hi.
    I've a portal application. In a class, I call to one Bapi, and this Bapi return a table and I keep the table into a model. I want open a pdf with my model.

  • The way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link

    I guess this feature is not supported, but let me ask one thing.
    I am looking for the way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link.
    For example, if the following link is opened, is it possoble to open 3d.pdf with automatic selection of "abc" model in the model tree? 
    http://example.org/3d.pdf#model=abc
    If it can be done by javascript, it's really helpful.

    Impossible. There are only very limited command-line options for the Acrobat Family and you cannot change them.

  • [JS] [CS3] Saving to PDF with restricted printing "PRINT128LOWRESOLUTION"

    Hi All,
    This is my first JavaScript. Trying to create a script which will save the active illustrator document to PDF with the following:
    a) sets permission password
    b) restricts printing to "Low resolution" only.
    I was able to get the script to do everything, except restricting printing to "Low resolution". Though i have set it to low resolution (PDFPrintAllowedEnum.PRINT128LOWRESOLUTION), it seems, illustrator ignores this statement, and set it to "high resolution" (PRINT128HIGHRESOLUTION).
    See my code below:
    var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var destName = "~/Desktop/Testpassword1.pdf";
    saveFileToPDF(destName);
    function saveFileToPDF (dest) {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
    var saveName = new File ( dest );
    saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
    saveOpts.requirePermissionPassword = true;
    saveOpts.permissionPassword = "test1";
    saveOpts.pDFAllowPrinting = PDFPrintAllowedEnum.PRINT128LOWRESOLUTION;
    doc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );
    Any advise will be much appreciated.

    Hi
    I see the same thing with Reader, seems they've chosen to restrict it in that fashion.
    Preview works ok, but sure, doesn't open some pdf's.

  • How to open a pdf with a ".exe" extension?

    Hi everyone,
    I am new. Someone just sent me a document they created in Acrobat 9 pro. They say it is a password protected pdf. When I click open or download, it changes from 1 KB to 28 bytes and displays a message that the content has been deleted. I would really appreciate any insights!
    In case it helps, I am using Windows 7 and have Acrobat XI Pro. Thanks.

    If it was a PDF with a .exe extension I suspect you have just been injected with Virsus, Worm, Trogan Horse or some other malware.  A PDF if it’s a true PDF will only have pdf extension.  When some one says it’s a Pdf but say it will be sent as exe file don't download it. Or if itd ownloaded don't open it trash it immediately.

  • Openeing a pdf with native pdf reader: openwithdefaultapplication

    Hello,
    Wondering if anyone can help on this one. From what I have read AIR for android does not support openwithdefaultapplication. The device I am developing for , the Motorola Xoom does not support pdf viewing in StageWebView or the browser. I have tried stagewebview and navigatetourl witn no success. So is it possible to open my pdf's with the native pdf viewer, calling it from my flex mobile app, developed in FB4.5 Any tips/ links sample code on how to do this, if it is possible would be great.
    Thanks

    Just to let everyone know. The answer
    Rangora gave was the correct solution for my purposes. I actually found this link (below) a while ago which takes you through it and gave me some inspiration. Its a java hack and not the prettiest solution. Lets hope Adobe and Android provide something a little more useful in the future
    http://www.jamesward.com/2011/05/11/extending-air-for-android/
    This (above) is if you want to open local files with the native/default application. I actually managed to extend this and get it to open a file with its default application (not just pdfs, any type as long as the tablet has a software that can open/support the type)
    For the unitiated who have found this post: WebView is only good for loading webpages and pdfs wont load on HoneyComb devices this way. You can get PDFs to display in a browser with PDF plugin on Honeycomb devices, but only from a hosted file location (webserver) which wasnt any good for my purposes
    The link above is currently the only way to open local files with their default application
    Thanks to all for your participation

  • How to open a PDF with Acrobat 5?

    I'm trying to open a pdf. I get an error message saying file is damaged and can't be opened but I have no problem opening  it with Adobe ReaderX. What is wrong?
    Thanks!

    There's something in it that isn't comaptible with Acrobat 5 or it would open it. I know Acrobat 5 is what you have, but frankly, it's obsolete. You can download a 30 day trial of Acrobat XI and open it, then save it as Optimized for 4 and up, but if you plan to continue using Acrobat... you're going to need a version that's newer than 2003.
    That shows the Reader versions that went along with Acrobat (because the Acrobat downloads themselves aren't available anymore).
    5.0 and 5.05 were designed for oprating systems that haven't even been supported by Microsoft since 2006.

  • I can't open any pdf with Adobe Reader XI, neither online or offline - OS X

    Since I've upgraded to Acrobat Reader XI I'm not able to open any pdf file.
    I can't open any .PDF already existing in my Mac and also can't open anything online throughout browser (I use Safari and Chrome)
    I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader over and over again and it has no improving.
    I've tried to install an older version and still doesn't work.
    All my problems started with the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI.
    As you can imagine I really need to be able to open pdf through browser, that's my biggest concern.
    I'll attach the error message that appears on the screen.

    Hi a.vouga,
    Are you still facing this issue.
    If yes, i would suggest you may create a new user profile and install Reader again and check.

  • Is it possible to open synchronized pdf with other reader than iBooks?

    Hi all,
    I just bought and ipod and it seems to be nice little thingy I have troubles with understanding whole logic behind how apps and files work.
    In iTunes I added few pdfs and synchronized them to my ipod. I got a warning that I have not installed iBooks and won't be able to read those files so I downloaded iBooks app and synchronized it as well. all good and dandy but to be honest iBooks is not very good with pdfs at least not for me so I downloaded a few more readers like adobe for example thinking they will allow me to have better reading experience.
    and here we have a surprise: my pdfs are not accessible from other reader than iBooks, I can't browse filesystem to get to them, iBooks have no "Open in..." option (which would work in case of adobe reader). I have no previous experience with apple products so maybe I am missing something basic and just showing up my ignorance but if somebody could hint me how can I make my synchronized pdfs accessible with some other app not only with iBooks I would be really grateful.

    Latest Adobe Reader version has a feature wherein it can open the PDF from the page where you last used it.
    You can download it from : http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Open protected pdf with javascript

    Hi
    I created a program that opens a local pdf file and shows it with Adobe Reader. I want people to open the pdf file only when using my program.
    It's an Adobe Air program so I am able to pass javascript commands to the pdf. Lets say I pass a string (the password) from my Adobe Air applikation
    to some javascript function inside the pdf file, at the time my application opens the pdf file, when i it opens. Then the javascript function inside the pdf file should be able to pass the password to some security handler and open the pdf file, without prompting the user for a password.
    How do I do this in Adobe Acrobat Javascript ?

    Just search for password in the to files i mentioned. I'd already said that I didn't understand the documentation very well, but here's a copy paste:
    SecurityHandler Methods login
    Provides a mechanism by which digital IDs can be accessed and selected for a particular Security Handler. Through the user interface, a default digital ID can be selected that persists either eternally or for as long as the application is running. If such a selection has
    signInvisible
    Specifies whether the security handler is capable of generating invisible signatures.
    Type: Boolean Access: R
    signValidate
    Indicates whether the security handler is capable of validating signatures.
    Type: Boolean Access: R
    uiName
    Specifies whether the security handler is capable of generating visible signatures.
    Type: Boolean Access: R
    The language-dependent string for the security handler. This string is suitable for user interfaces. All security handlers must support this property.
    Type: String Access: R
    SecurityHandler Methods
    been made through the UI, it might not be necessary to log into a Security Handler prior to using the digital ID.
    Parameters tend to be specific to a particular handler. The behavior for Adobe.PPKLite and Adobe.PPKMS handlers is specified below.
    The parameters cPassword and cDIPath are provided for backward compatibility, or they can be included as properties of the oParams object. This latter method is the preferred calling convention beginning in Acrobat 6.0.
