Opening protected .dcr files

I've been supplied with source files from a new client that need alteration. However, when attempting to open the .dcr files, the following message appears:
"File is protected adn cannot be opened"
From what I can gather, the files in question (Director 8.5) were saved in such a way that there is no way to open them. I've tried dirOpener, but it fails to even see the files.
Are there any options for opening or importing them into Director 11.5 short of re-creating them? The projector files are available.
thanks,
david

That is not a source file. A file with the extension .dir is a source file. The .dcr extension means it's been published to shockwave so it can be run in a browser. I'd go back to the client and either get the source files, cancel the job, or requote with the new info as you'll have to recreate things from scratch.

  • How to open protected pdf files.

    I am trying to find out how to get my new tablet to allow me to open password protected pdf files.

    It sounds like you have DRM-protected PDF files, which are different from password-protected PDF files.
    Are your PDF files protected with Vitrium's Protect PDF technology?  None of the Mobile version of Adobe Reader (e.g. Reader Touch, Reader for iOS or Android) currently supports it because it's a proprietary technology.
    Your school should have the information about which PDF viewer to use to open those files.  Does it tell you to use Adobe Reader?  If so, you might want to try the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI.

    Does anyone know if password protected excel files can be opened/edited on N97 if quick office 6 is installed?

    Yes I think you can depending on the level of encryption. I failed to open a 128 bit file but anything below that should be okay... I think 

  • Cant open .dcr file

    Director 12, trial.
    Mac OS 10.8.2
    Old .dcr (guessing from between 2000 and 2005)
    Its greyed out in the open file-window.
    Is it not possible to open files with the trial version? Something else wrong maybe?
    Edit: Renamed it .dir. Not greyed out anymore, but when trying to open it: Cant open file. Its protected. Is it possible to unprotect the file?

    No version of Director can File/Open a DCR. If you want to look at a DCR, either drag it onto a browser window, or inside Director you can type this in the Message Window:
    w = new window("")
    open w
    Then point to the DCR you want to look at.

  • I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

    I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
    Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
    The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

    Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - After Truesuite update I can't open protected files

    Hi,
    sorry for my bad english but I came from Italy and here we don't have any forum who can resolve my problem.
    I've got a Toshiba Laptop pro P300 with fingerprint reader. I use fingerprint to logon and protect some files, just for curiosity, it seemed cool...:|
    The problem born when I recently update "truesuite access manager". Since I did the update I can't open protected files, I didn't read that I have to remove the protection before the updating (damn...), but these files are important for me and I have to open them again.
    To resolve the problem at first I restore the system before the date of the update, to have the old version and open these files again, but all my fingerprints are deleted and I can't create new fingerprints because the pc says that it "can't open the sensor". I don't know what it means.
    I thought that it needs some drivers, so I reinstalled truesuite access manager several times, I reinstalled BIOS, I've done the scan disk and the toshiba diagnostic, but the sensor still doesn't work.
    I think that if I can save a fingerprint with the old version of the program I will able to open protected files again (and I will not protect them anymore) because only the old version of the program knows how to decrypt these files, but I don't know how to turn the fingerprint sensor on. Someone could help me, please?
    Thank you so much!

    The Truesuite update come from the Toshiba website. I can open the Truesuite program with my fingerprint but I can't decrypt files because it says that I don't have the correct "key of protection" or the "protection code keyAC 3000" of the file.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • 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!

    No. None of the iWork apps on any platform will open a password-protected Office file. You have to remove the password in Office first.

  • I password protected my file. How do I open it for exporting?

    I pasword protected my file around Reader 9.0.  Now, I subscribed to Export for $24/year, but when I try to export it, I'm told it's pasword protected.   Fine, I know my password. But nowhere can I find where I can put in my password so I can edit the damn thing.  Help!   How do I open a password-protected document?  Where do I put my password in?

    Maybe that's the problem.  I used to have Acrobat Pro, but it's disappeared off my system.  Can I re-install the old one I had? Or has Adobe stopped supporting the purchased software option?

  • 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?

    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).
