Password in PDF Portfolio

I am using Acrobat XI Pro for Mac. If I want to create a PDF Portfolio and add an existing PDF document, Acrobat ask the password. If I enter it, I´m getting the message invalid password. But if I open this document in Adobe Reader the same password ist accepted. So, what works wrong?

Can you open the document in Adobe Acrobat?

Can I add a password to a PDF portfolio created from multiple emails?

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can add a password to a PDF portfolio that I created by converting several emails into a PDF?
Thanks in advance for your invaluable help!

When viewing a Portfolio the classic Tools Pane is not visible, so you cannot apply security in the usual way.
Instead, open the properties dialog (menu > File > Portfolio Properties) and select the Security tab. Change the dropdown field to "password security" and the dialog box will appear to enter the permissions information.

Can you password protect an pdf Portfolio? Not a single pdf, but a pdf Portfolio.

I know how to password protect individual PDF's. My quesiton is can one password protect an entire pdf Portfolio after assembling the Portfolio.

I'm using Acrobat Pro 11.0.6, if it helps. I was able to find it at File > Portfolio Properties > Security > Security Method.
This is what I was looking for, Dave. It prompts the user for the password when they try to open the portfolio.

Password-protect a folder within a PDF Portfolio?

Is it possible to password-protect an individual folder within a PDF Portfolio? (I don't want the password to apply to the Portfolio as a whole).

You can protect the PDF documents.

Bug in applying read only security status to a PDF portfolio?

Hi,
A quick question about setting up a pdf portfolio as 'read only', so users cannot save amended versions of the document within the portfolio, they can only go to 'save as'.
I have set this up, using Adobe Professional 9, using the following process = File > Portfolio Properties > Security tab and then selecting 'Password Security' (setting a password) and then setting the permission from 'Allow Changes' to 'None'.
My colleague, who has Adobe X, can go into the portfolio, without knowing/entering any password and change documents. If she exits individual documents whilst still in the portfolio, and goes back into them, she can still see her changes (although when she exits her Adobe software completely and goes back into it, opening the portfolio, these changes have not been saved).
Can anyone tell me why this happens, and how to stop it, so she can't even get to saving it within the portfolio in the first place? Or is it something that has to be set up on Adobe X, rather than Adobe 9?
Thanks all!

PDF files in the Portfoloio are treated as simple attachments. To Acrobat, a PDF attachment is basically the same as a Word or image file. When you open the attachment, the Portfolio just opens the corresponding application. If the file gets modified by that application and the Portfolio security is set to not allow changes, anything done in the external application is ignored.
The best way to prevent this is to set security on the files prior to adding them to the Portfolio, this will prevent users from getting the idea that they can modify the contents. Then secure the Portfolio itself.

Creating pdf portfolios

I have created a pdf portfolio and want to email it. I want to prohibit the recipient from changing the look of the portfolio

Hi Candace ,
You can protect your PDF quite easily.
Acrobat comes with different options to lock a PDF .
What you can do is ,
Select Tools>Go to Protection and choose the best option that suits your requirement.
You can either encrypt it with a password or choose the Restrict Editing Option .
Stay well .

Filename in PDF portfolio?

Sorry for what I'm sure is an easy(lame) question.
I don't want to show the filename when creating a PDF portfolio and I've hunted for the answer without any luck.
How do I only show the image or show a custom text/ title but not the XXXXX.jpg filename?
thx!
> just to clarify.... when viewing a PDF portfolio of images I don't want to show the image filename below the image.

Hi,
I've been trying to hide the file name myself. It seems intuitive that, while in the Modify area of the PDF Portfolio, under "Specify File Details" that one would simply unclick "Name" under "Columns to Display".
But all that seems to do is hide it while I'm within the Modify section. I save and go back to view the pdfs and there are the file names.
Anyone out there know the answer? Even if it's just a link to more info, that would be great. I need to get this out but without the filenames. I've searched in Google but no good info.
BTW, the Description option is a nice touch and shows upon immediate hover. That's why I don't need to show a file name. Plus, you can write more in the description than is viable/sensible in a file name.
Thanks for your help.

Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
Steps:
1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
thanks!

There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

PDF portfolio works in what versions?

How do I know what versions or Acrobat or Reader my PDF portfolio will work in?
Will it work in reader?

PDF Portfolios will work in both Acrobat and Reader 9.
In addition,
"By default, PDF Portfolios created in Acrobat 9 will open in earlier versions of Acrobat and Reader and the PDF Portfolio will make the best use of the features available to it. When opened in version 8, the PDF Portfolio will act like a PDF Package and in version 7 and 6, the contents will appear as attachments"

PDF portfolio - how do i update or replace pdf files in portfolio

I created a pdf portfolio using the map feature where i drag the pdf's onto the image.
But now, after i have all the pdf's in the portfolio, i want to replace/update some of the pdf files.
I can't see an option anywhere to do this?
Is it possible???
Thanks

In the Find window (Ctrl+F) there's an option to replace the searched text.
This is in Acrobat XI, and there's no Replace All-function.

PDF portfolio view in Adobe reader

Hi,
I recently created a PDF portfolio for a co-worker using Acrobat 9.0 Pro. I used the Grid with File Preview layout and added a header that appears right above the grid. Everything works well except that when my co-worker opens the PDF portfolio in Adobe Reader, I think it's 9.0, the preview pane takes up most of the screen so that the grid and header are barely visible. Of course, all my co-worker has to do is move the divider over to the right so that the divider is around the middle of the screen, then he can clearly see the complete grid along with the header.
Is there anyway to make my PDF portfolio open up in Reader so that the dividing line is right in the middle between the grid and preview pane so that the grid and header are clearly visible without having to move the divider? Also, I encountered the same problem when I tried to use a welcome window. In Acrobat 9.0, the welcome window is dead center over the grid and the preview pane is invisible unless I click to proceed. However, when I open the PDF portfolio in Reader, the welcome window only appears in the grid section and again, the gird section is mostly covered up by the preview pane.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Operating system? Reader version? Local or online files?

PDF Portfolio, broken in 9.4.6 also...... not funny Adobe...

PDF portfolio on Linux broke in 9.4.2, with newly released 9.4.6 it's still broken. It has been broken since February. I wonder if Adobe takes these things seriously, for sure it doesn't look that way. Many governmental institutes use portfolios, so please make an effort and fix it

as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine

PDF or PDF Portfolio?

I am looking to build a document which would be a collection of multiple pdf files on various topics. I would like to be able to have an accessible/user
friendly table of contents bar/page where users can choose a section to read, but also read the whole collection if they choose to. Should I build this in PDF portfolio mode or regular pdf mode? I want it to read like a magazine.
Also, how do I best create a index/table of contents to the document to make it user friendly?

Hi,
Hoping you could help. I have been able to work with most software, but have found working with Adobe Acrobat quite challenging and not terribly intuitive or user friendly.
Could you send me the link where to post this correctly please? I searched all over on Friday for the right place and thought my forum spot would be just fine.
Thanks,
Liz Waldron

PDF portfolio in browser display issues

PDF Portfolio created in Acro Pro 9 with layout of grid/preview
PCs using IE 8 to view portfolio in web broswer
When one loads the portfolio, the portfolio loads in IE8 Ok BUT it does not display as intended as the browser add-in always starts in 'layout' view rather than 'File' view. This means that the grid of all the PDFs in the portfolio are not shown. The file list appears if you select 'File' view and this is an OK compromise.
Is there any way to make the browser view load as 'file' rather than 'layout'? - I can't find an option in Acro Pro for this.
Portfolio opens as intended if we turn off the view in browser option but I need to keep that option ticked for other applications.
thanks
Julian
