Open password-protected XLSX files in Numbers '09

Hi @ all,
I've just started using Numbers a few days ago. I want to open password-protected xlsx-files. Numbers refuses opening it.
Why?

This is true. However as a workaround I found out the Quick View function allows you to type in the password and then at least get a preview of its contents. Note that this was not the case earlier on Snow Leopard (I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion).

Before I buy "numbers" can anyuser advise me from their experiences if I'll be able to open password protected excel files in iphone 4S?

I haven't tried opening any password-protected Office files in Numbers or Pages on my iOS device, but I doubt that it can be done. Neither Numbers or Pages for the Mac can open them so it is extremely unlikely.

Can't open password protected PDF files.

As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

Opening a Excel xlsx file in numbers 08

Hello,
How do I open a Microsoft .xlsx file in numbers 08? or do i need to update to numbers 09?

Ask to badunit which wrote that he may open this kind of files.
I was never able to open those which I received.
As my rule is to trash *********'s files when I receive some of them, for me it's definitely not a problem
It appears that the automatic vocabulary filter was enhanced. It refuses the word which I am acustomed to use to name the Excel's editor

Will the new iPad open password protected PDF files?

I attend college online, and have always had a problem viewing password protected PDF files on my iPad. Will the new iPad allow opening these files?
Thank you!

You can install the same iOS version running the new iPad onto your iPad.
Download the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store. It opens password protected PDFs just like thee desktop version.

Need javascript/VB code to open password protected PDF file by passing password in code itself.

Now i am able to create PDF with Digital signature. But We want to assign password protection too..and problem is once we fix Digital signature we can't change security.
My problem is to pass password at the time of opening PDF for embedding signature. Password window should not prompt to the user while running VBA application.
Can you please help me to pass password on fly when file prompt password while opening PDF file. As file need to be opened at the time of fixing signature using sdk javascript code.

Correct, you need to encrypt then sign.
Unfortunately, there is no way to pass a password for opening.

Cannot open password protected .pdf files?

I have an ebook for school that requires a username/password combo to open. It of course opens on my computer, but when I try to open it on my Galaxy III, it says there was an error opening the document. It also will not open with my Galaxy Tab 7.0. I have the most updated versions on both devices.
Can I not open this type of file with Adobe Reader?
Please help!! I need to be able to open this ebook on the go!
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Michael for your speedy reply. I have been reading on the Adobe site and I figured that much. I buy knitting patterns and crochet patterns at a cost and I download and print them. I 'save them to My Documents', some of the older ones I can bring up and print again but it has been just recently that the new ones will not allow me to view them. I know you can get password breaker software. Do you think it is a good practise to have such software in your computer? Thanks again. JenonDenman.

Unable to open password protected PDF in safari

Dear all, I'm new in using iPhone safari. I have problem in opening password protected PDF file from safari. Do you have any solution or workaround to resolve this problem
Regards
BR

You can put pretty much any character into the encryption password for a PDF file apart from control codes (carriage returns, backspaces, etc), but whether the vendor's website can is another matter!
As you seem to have a PDF with a user password that isn't what you expected, there's nothing you can do to remove it other than perhaps trying a version without the quote characters, or with a backslash in front of the quote (it's possible they escaped the string on the login form in preparation for storing it in a database, and forgot to unescape it again).

REQUEST: Support for password-protected PDF files and SD-card installation

I would like to request for the features in the topic.
The current version can't open password-protected files hence I still need to download them on a PC before viewing them.
SD-card install is necessary for some devices running on Froyo as they don't have a lot of internal memory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AndrewSV,
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems opening password-protected PDF files, and that the users are being prompted for a password, which shouldn't be required for Viewing and Printing the file.
I have opened up a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=900822 bug for this issue], and our engineers and volunteers will be able to investigate this issue.
Yes, please attach the write-protected PDF as an example, so that they can see what's happening.
Thank you for your help! =)

Password protected docx file

I have a docx file that I recieved in an e-mail. It is password protected. I have the password but I do not know how to open it.

I don't believe Pages will open password protected .DOCX files. It does appear that OpenOffice will, however.
http://www.openoffice.org/
If you can't obtain the document sans password protection and don't want to shell out for Word, you might be able to open it with that (it's free).

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

When Password Protected - The File Becomes Corrupted and I Can Not Open It

I have password protected two files now in Excel 2007. After opening and then saving a few times, the file becomes corrupted and I cannot open. The following error message appears "Excel cannot open the file"XXXX.xlsx" because
the file format or file extenson is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
The files that I created contains sensitive information and I really need to get to them.l

You can try to open these files with 'Open and Repair' .
1.Start Excel.
2.click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Open.
3.In the Open dialog box, click to select the file that you want to open.
4.Click the down arrow on the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
Also this issue could be caused by malware on the affected machine
Please see:http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2013/09/07/quot-cannot-open-the-file-because-the-file-format-or-extension-is-invalid-quot-opening-office-files.aspx
Some one works out this issue with remove the xlsx entention,give it a try.
1. rename the file and remove the .xlsx or .xls extention etc e.g. if my file is called test.xlsx I remove the '.xlsx' - you will get a warning message saying this could make the document unstable - accept it
2. the document icon should now have turned white (the document won't look like an excel document anymore)
3. open a blank excel document by hitting start -> all programs -> Microsoft office -> excel (this may be different if your not on windows 7)
4. in your blank excel document hit file -> open
5. navigate to the document you renamed above and select it, now click open

Password protected PDF files not opening in Android

Hi
I was trying to open my credit card statement on my Android Galaxy S2 I9100 phone. Although it looks like that the Adobe reader 10.0.2 version (Build 40862) is capable of opening Password protected files but I got an error "The document cannot be opened because it is corrupted or damaged."
I tried downloading it multiple times but faced the same issue. I googled and found that the similar issue has been reported by other users as well.
Is this a known issue? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help.
Thanks,
Anuj Aggarwal

Hi Anuj,
Normally this error message comes when the pdf content is corrupt.
Can you provide us with few more details to help us narrow down the cause.
1. Are you able to open it on Desktop Adobe Reader ?
2. Are you not able to open any of your credit card statements ?
3. If possible can you share the pdf with us, so that we can isolate the issue at our end(your data will be kept confidential). If not can you share the name of the bank on which your credit card is issued so that we can get hold of similar pdf ?
Thanks in advance.
