Opening Password encripted Pdf with password

Hi....I was sent via email a pdf attachment that is password protected. I was also sent password. How do I open the document?

You would need to contact Apple.

Remove password from PDF with Reader 9.0?

Hi,
We would like to know if a user opens a protected PDF (with 128/256 bits encryption) in Acrobat Reader 9.0,
can the user save a copy of the protected PDF and the new PDF is no longer password protected.
That means I would like to check if the reader 9.0 can allow user to remove the password (Of course, permission
should be granted when creating the protected PDF in Acrobat 9.0) from the protected PDF file.
Thanks for your attention in advance,
Raymond

Reader cannot remove password protection. It only reads files.

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.
Here is a sample PDF:

Scripting 'Save PSD as PDF with password security' and 'Open PDF with password security' issue.

Hi!
I'm now building an extension for Photoshop. The script (jsx) should save the active document as Photoshop PDF secured with a password. The PW is the same all the time and is set in the script. Then the script is to open the PDF with that same password. I need all this to protect the PDF from opening by a user, so that only the script has access to the file.
I've googled a lot. I've seen a similar topic on this community dated as 2012. It's not answered. With an only comment saying that saving with a password seems to be possible via GUI and not via a script.
Has anything changed since 2012?
P.S. Illustrator .documentPassword and .requireDocumentPassword don't work in PS and ScriptListener still gives nothing :-/

ScriptListener still gives nothing
Which probably means the task is (still) not possible to achieve with Photoshop Scripting.
Both Photoshop DOM and AM seem to have weaknesses/omissions that I would consider more relevant but if you regard the issue as crucial you may want to post a Feature Request over at
Photoshop Family Customer Community

Encrypting PDF with password. PDF command failed due to PDFlib error: Bad parameter.

I'm trying to encrypt a PDF with a password and receive this error.
~ERROR~com.adobe.document.PDFManipulation~: PDF command failed due to PDFlib error: Bad parameter.
It does not throw an exception, it just logs this error.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Version: 7.0.2
OS: Win

I was also getting this error, when trying to set usage rights on a document and then encrypt it with a password. I found a solution which works (more like a workaround, as this feels like a bug):
1. Open the unprotected file
2. Call pdfDocument.encryptWithPassword()
3. Call pdfDocument.save(), write resulting bytes to temp file
4. Reopen this file with pdfFactory.openPdfWithPassword()
5. Now you can call pdfDocument.setUsageRights() and pdfDocument.save()

Programmatically generate password for pdf with data from database

Good day everyone,
I would like to know is it possible to programmatically generate passwords for pdf??
The main idea is to enable an automated process of pdf acquiring individualised password from a database (Excel, Access, you name it) and finally sending the pdf to individual recipient. Can I use javascript for this? And if yes, how?? If not, pls do advice me on the appropriate steps.
Background (for clarity's sake):
Currently I am working on developing an automated process for the sending customised, password encrypted payslip to about 80 staff. The entire procedure is pretty much summarized as below:
mail merg (UBS output in) excel to words -> convert words to pdf -> programmatically password encrypt the pdf -> email to individual recipients.
Well my current status is - I am quite done with the batch mail merge and convertion part. And batch proccessing of password encryption is not a problem, but the idea is to allow acrobat to retrieve password automatically from a database and not key-in each and every password manually. The batch email for now is another problem but for now I have to work stepwise. (Any ideas on how to do it would equally be valued though! =D)
System and software using:
Windows XP and 7 Professional
Microsoft Office Proffesional 2010
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
I would be really grateful for any relevant replies to my question and any additional thoughts or ideas are welcome!!
I would to thank any potential saviour in advance!
Thank you for helping!

Basically I need to automate the password generation from database extract
e.g. Excel database with StaffID, StaffName, PayMonth, etc. Then when the pdf is created, its password would be <StaffID>_<PayMonth> which is extracted from excel.
Is it possible for this to happen?? I dont mine using Javascript, I'll just have to learn it.
Or how about recommending a program which does that??
Whichever is fine as long there's a solution!
Thanks!

How do I create a password protected pdf with watermark?

I need to put a watermark on a pdf and have it password protected. I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Got any tips?

1. Tools->Pages->Watermark
2. Tools->Protection->Encrypt->Encrypt with Password.
3.Save As (or Save if it's OK to overwrite the original PDF).

Password-protected PDF demands password in triplicate

I'm having problems with a password-protected PDF (created in Acrobat Pro 8 ) which opens fine with a single entry of the password when downloaded but when website visitors try to open the form directly in their browser it keeps asking for the password and will only open on the third password attempt (by when most visitors will have given up on it). Could you please tell me what is causing this phenomenon and whether I can fix it? TIA.
Simon

It looks like this issue may be limited to files that have been set to restrict the user's ability to print or edit the document (even after a password has been entered for viewing). I found that a password-protected PDF could be viewed in iBooks, but after I added the print restriction, I had the same problem you reported.

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

Unable to open a protected PDF with Adobe Reader

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to understand how LC Righs Management works. So what i'm doing is following:
1. Protecting a PDF with a specific preconfigured right in my policy server by using Acrobat Pro.
2. Trying to open same fine in Adobe Reader gives me "An error occured while performing thsi operation. Contact an Administrator if this proplem continues".
Same file can be opend in acrobat pro without any problems.
My certificate is installed. (port is 8443)
Any ideas why ADobe Reader faisl to read a protected PDF?
Thnx!

Hi Steve,
Yes, SSL is trusted. If it's not strusted, i getting a different message from teh ADobe Reader which actually is reffering to the SSL problem.
Also if SSL is not trusted, file can't be opend in Acrobat Pro. IN my case, file can be opened in ACrobat X Pro but not in Adobe Reader.
Maybe i can check for some log files on the server side for this? (or client if there are any?)

Password reset problem with Password sync and Waveset exception

Hi,
We are using IdM 5 SP 5 with password sync installed on ad.

How can i open a hebrew pdf with adobe

Cant open any old pdf with the adobe acrobat dc [Android]

I recently updated my adobe reader to adobe acrobat dc and since then I cannot open any old pdf files in my phone. The new ones I download open just fine, but the old ones have just disappeared. The only files I can see are those I have downloaded after updating the app and listed in the Recent page.
I tried open my old pdf files by clicking on the floating folder icon in the Recent page, which brings me to my downloads folder in my phone. After clicking on an old pdf file, a dialogue will open saying that adobe will create a local copy of the document. After I click continue, it will say that the file cannot be accessed, and ask me to check the location or the network (the pdf files were those the app listed on the downloads folder on my phone). I have also tried to open them from my phone's own download manager. It will first tell me the file cannot be found, in which I will redownload it, but then the app says that it can't be opened because it is not a valid pdf file. How can that be true when it opened just fine before I updated the app? All my old pdf files are also not detected automatically by the app, which was the one feature I loved so much about the old version of Adobe reader. What must I do to open my old pdf files that are in my phone?
my phone is a Samsung galaxy s4.

Are you trying to open the documents from the Downloads tab as shown below?
If that is the case, it is possible you are trying to open the files which were previously downloaded and no longer exist on your device. To open the files which actually exist on your device, you can go to the Internal Storage tab which exists below the Download tab. The Internal storage tab will show the folders available. Go to the downloads folder in the internal storage tab and then to the 'Adobe Reader' or 'Adobe Acrobat' folder and you can find the files there.
Thanks.

PDFs with password security will not open on Blackberry tablet

I'm a designer, pretty clued with everything Mac based. I put password security on PDFs sent out to clients to restrict editing, theft of images, maps, high resolution printing etc.
However, they won't open on Blackberry tablets, if they do, they show as blank, grey pages. The same PDFs without secuity will open. Client tells me he is using up to date Adobe Reader. To be clear, I do not create a password requirement for opening the PDFs, just to restrict editing etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've had this same exact problem quite often ever since the update to version 7.6.2.9 on Windows Vista Home Premium. The only solution I have found is to go into Task Manager and find the two I-Tunes processes that are running and END those two processes. I don't know what other problems doing this could cause and it is VERY annoying! It might be a good idea to reboot after fixing it. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Maybe this Apple's way of punishing me for not installing Safari
