Opening a password protected pdf

I can't open a password protected pdf through adobe reader..how do I go about opening it? I have the password.

Thanks Pat for your interest.
Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

How to open a password-protected PDF in Safari on iPad(3)?

I have some password-protected PDFs available on my public-facing website (hosted by MS Office365) that I'm unable to open in Safari on my iPad(3). When attempting to open these files using Safari on my iPad, I receive a grey screen with no presentation of the Adobe Reader "insert password" dialogue box. I do have Adobe Reader installed on my iPad. These PDFs do open on my PC with both IE9 and Safari. I can also open these PDFs on my iPad independent of using Safari. And, I have some non-password-protected PDFs on my website that open using Safari on my iPad. The problem seems to be uniquely associated with the combination of 1) a password-protected PDF, 2) Safari, and 3) the iPad(3). Does anyone have a solution to this particular situation?

How to open a password-protected PDF file.

Dear members:
A while ago I created a document that I chose to protect with a password as I e-mailed it to a relative and didn't want the information to be openly available on the Internet. Its been about 4 years since I created this document and I now find I need to look at its contents but can't remember the password I used and neither can my relative-recipient.
Is there a way to bypass the open-level password and open this document ? This is an important document and I really need to have it opened. What can I do ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph

How to open a password protected PDF file on the iPhone

I've got a PDF file that is password protected and I transferred it to my iPhone using Air Sharing. When I go to open it, it asks for the password which I enter, but then it closes the program and doesn't open the PDF. Any ideas? Thanks

Programmatically open a password protected pdf

Hi,
Here is the issue.
I want the client to be able to view the file when he asks for it. So, since the file is password protected I need to provide the password when the client asks for this file. That's what I want my program to do. Why do I want to do this? Because I don't want the client to mess with these files. In the current environmet all he can do is VIEW. He can't change anything, remove or add pages, etc. If he was clever enough to find these files outside of the program's environment then he could possibly make changes. IF such changes are made it would profoundly affect the operation of the program. So I password protect these PDF files so that one could not make such changes.
I know the password, so I am not trying to Hack this file.

Open a password protected PDF with XPAAJ

Hi,
I have a LiveCycle PDF form that is protected by a password and Reader Extension Server.
In my application, it was suppose to open this PDF and import XML data into it. But I'm getting an exception when using XPAAJ API to open the form in my JAVA application.
Does any one knows any way to achieve that?
Thank you.

Preview should give you a password entry field when you open the file. If it doesn't, then either Preview is acting up, or there is something odd about the way the bank has done the encryption.
You can test Preview by opening any pdf, than Saving As (with a different name), checkin the 'Encrypt' checkbox in the save dialog. When you reopen the file you should see the password demand. If that's OK then as said you need to take it up with your bank.
You can usually delete 'in use' files after rebooting the computer.

Open password protected PDF in website

Hi,
I hope someone can help me. Greatly appreciate it.
My website has PDF documents that's available for registered users to view online (through my site) only.
Currently, I can't find any solutions to prevent users from downloading/"save-as" the PDF doc in their local drives, so I'm thinking of password-protecting these PDFs. This will ensure that they'd not be able to view the PDFs even though they download it and save-as local.
However, how do I open these password-protected PDFs on my site?
When I point/redirect to these PDFs, it will prompt for password.
It'd defeat all protection intent if I were to give the password to the user to enter, right?
Example:
1. Response.Redirect("mySecuredPdf.pdf")
2. The browser will then prompt user for password.
What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
I cannot remove password, because I want to prevent users from downloading and then opening it later, or redistributing the file.
btw, i'm using ASP.NET.
Please help.

There's a similar thread in the Acrobat Windows section, and the answer is the same - only a DRM system with a client UI (such as Adobe Digital Editions) can restrict the *use* of a file. You cannot prevent the client downloading and saving it, as otherwise they can't see it on their screen. The page you're reading now is not on a computer at Adobe - it's on yours.
> What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
I think you're getting the flow a little backwards - the PDF is 'opened' by the client, using their copy of Adobe Reader (or whatever). The webserver has nothing to do with the process other than blindly sending the file's 1s and 0s down a wire, so can't do anything to directly control the client's desktop applications.

How to read a password protected pdf on a surface pro 2?

Has anyone been able to successfully open a password protected PDF on a Surface Pro 2? The Adobe Reader app doesn't work on the surface pro 2 with protected PDFs.

Use Adobe Reader XI, the regular Adobe Reader for any Windows system.

Password Protected PDF Files in Elementary OS

I have installed Acrobat 9.5.5 on my Elementary OS (Ubuntu base) system but when I try to open a password protected PDF file from my bank Acrobat fails with the error "There was an error opening this document. An updated version of Acrobat is needed in order to open this document.".
The version that I have installed claims to be 9.5.5 04/26/2013.
Has anyone got any pointers?
Thanks

Well, first, you probably don't have Acrobat 9.5.5 installed on Ubuntu unless you are running a VM image or using WINE to do so. You are probably using Adobe Reader 9.x. If a file was encrypted for Acrobat X and later then you do actually need Adobe Reader version 10.x or later. Unfortunately there isn't a version 10.x for UNIX/LINUX. What to do? Use a VM or WINE and load it up that way. If you really are running Acrobat 9.5.5 on Ubuntu via a VM image or WINE then you need to load Adobe Reader 10.x or Adobe Reader 11.x.

Reader plug-in, save copy of password protected pdf without password

Hello,
We currently have an Acrobat Reader plugin (using the 8.1 SDK) and are having trouble with password protected PDFs.
The sole purpose of our plug-in is to pass a copy of the currently open PDF to a different folder on the user's computer. The problem we are facing is with the password protected PDFs. We would like to pass a copy of the PDF that doesn't have the readonly password protection.
Scenario:
1. The user opens a password protected PDF in Adobe Reader.
2. They are prompted for the password, they enter it and can see the PDF. 3. Now they click our custom button.
4. Save a copy of the currently open PDF without password protection
Since we already know they have entered the correct password, in theory we should be able to either save all of the content to a new file, or simply remove the password protection.
Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I will be able to get a PDF without the password?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi again,
I was doing some research in the API reference and examples and I think that for my business problem, it will be sufficient if I can get the read access password. I found that I am able to use the following:
AVCryptGetPassword(pdDoc, permsWanted, (void **)&password)
This prompts the user to enter the password and puts the actual password in the &password variable, which will will work for us. Ideally though, I would like to not have to prompt the user again for the password since they already entered when opening the pdf, is it possible to get access to the plain text of the password that they typed when opening the pdf or another way?
I tried:
StdSecurityDataRec* secData;
secData = (StdSecurityDataRec*)PDDocGetNewSecurityData (pdDoc);
if (secData) {
if (secData->hasUserPW)
char* mypw = secData->userPW;
However, the password is encrypted. Thanks for your help!
Thanks,
Ryan

Reading password protected pdf email attachments

When I open a password protected pdf file that was attached to an email received on my iPhone, it appears to open (accurate page count displayed top left corner) but the page is blank and I never see a prompt that asks for the password.

I'm having the same problem, I've tried to open password protected pdf files on my iPhone, but the password screen doesn't appear. I've tried 2 different pdf reader apps from the app store. I was going to buy an iPad for reading my ebooks from college but I won't until I can get this figured out. The school says Adobe and Apple don't play well together and that is the problem. Hope someone has a work around for this.
