Password protected form in Reader

I have a form that I created in LiveCycle Designer.
I would like the form to be filled out by others in Adobe Reader (not Acrobat Pro or Pro Extended) but only with a password that I specify.
I have Acrobat Pro Extended.

Security is actually not a concern. This is an internal document and I only worry about accidental editing.
I have no Acrobat scripting experience as this is the first form I've created.
I would prefer the password feature to be more of a discrete operation instead of a button entitled "Edit" (something like if they click on a field that should be editable, then that's when they would get prompted). However, once the document is unlocked, clicking on the same field should not prompt them again for a password.
Another feature that should be implemented is to automatically re-secure the document once it is saved and/or closed with the same universal password.
Where can I get help with creating such a script?

  • Distributing a password protected form

    I need to password protect the form I created in live cycle and also need to distribute it so that the users can fill and save the form using Adobe XI...any suggestions.  The user must be able to save a copy while also having the document signed....

    You need to tell Firefox to remember your usernames and passwords. Select Tools > Options > Security. Ensure that "Remember passwords for sites" is checked. For more information, read this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Passwords Remembering Passwords]. After changing the settings, if Firefox is still not remembering your usernames/passwords, check [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username%20and%20password%20not%20remembered here].

  • Password-protected form autocompletion was available on PC, not on MAC?

    I just switched from PC to iMAC. I was able to autofill password-protected standard info into forms on the PC. I think this was a Firefox function. Is this supported for the MAC?

  • Password Protecting Forms on LiveCycle

    Hello,
    I have a form that will be used by multiple users. These users will fill in data, then submit a pdf via email. I need these pdf's to be password protected with a specific password for each report, but not a random generated one...they will enter the information that will be included in the password, on the form.
    So, preferably, I would like them to be able to enter information into fields, then click a submit button. This would start a process of using information in the fields to create the password. Is this possible?
    If not, the second option would be to have the users manually type in the password each time they submit...I do not know how to accomplish this either.
    Thank you for any help.
    Regards,
    Brett

    Also, I would like the name of the file to be customly created, prefereably via fields in the form.
    Thanks Again

  • How do I password protect an Adobe Reader file when it is greyed out?

    I have several documents that need to be password protected and I am unable to protect them already in Adobe.  I only have Adobe Reader at this time.  Is this possible to do without having to have another version of Adobe? 

    To add security, you need Adobe Acrobat.

  • Why Are Password Protected Forms not Fillable on Reader App

    I have made a fillable form on Acrobat X Pro that is protected with password security in order to deny printing or editing (other than filling the form and commenting), however the app will open but will not allow you to fill it. The document's forms are fillable on any other computer. How can this be fixed?
    It is reader version 10.4.1 on a Asus Transformer TF300T android Ver 4.1.1

    As you have discovered, Adobe Reader for Android does not yet support filling encrypted forms. It is something we are considering for the future, but I cannot give any insight into when we will have that support available.

  • Password protected form

    Hello
    Here's what i'd like to do:
    1- Authentification page (ask for an ID).
    2- ID must be verified in a db and then "posted" to the main form.
    3- the main form will display content in fields depending of the ID entered.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Jerome, Belgium.

    Users are using Adobe Reader to open the PDF form

  • Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

    Dear all,
    Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
    It is quite disappointing with this phone !

    hi mateys,
    you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

  • Password protected PDFs

  • Password protect published Calendar?

    It's a couple of click to publish a calendar to .MAC
    But is there a way to password protect the published page so only authorised people can view it?
    I tried to upload to my own server but cannot accomplish it...

    Hi,
    Don't know if your still trying to do this or not but I managed it using iWeb 08 and .MAC
    The problem with the Apple solution is that you have to give out your .MAC user/password which is far from ideal. If you create a website to hold your calendar(s) using iWeb and give the site a username/password and then publish it to your dotmac account you can then publish your calendars using iCal to a private server (your dotmac account) and users will use the username/password you provided in iWeb NOT your .MAC ones!
    To do the publishing bit in iCal simply select Private Server and type in:
    http://idisk.mac.com/username/Web/Sites/yoursitename
    Make sure you provide your .MAC username and password, this will be used by iCal to access your iDisk but users will use the username/password you provided in iWeb!
    Not sure if it works with previous versions of iWeb, you only need iWeb to set up the site and make it password protected.

  • Unlock password protected, reader extended document

    Hi,
    I'm trying to unlock/remove password on a password protected and reader extended document in a long lived process. Below is the workflow description
    A batch process that fires periodically to send service feedback forms to customers.
    Long lived process to Gather data ---> Render Dynamic pdf ---> Password Protect (to disable printing and extracting pages) ---> Reader Extend (for saving edited pdf on client machine) ---> Send Email to customer.
    Long lived process to Receive feedback via Email endpoint --> Remove/Unlock (?) password ---> Extract data from PDF --->  further operations to update data in tables.
    My findings:
    Remove PDF Password Encryption (Failed here)  ---> Extract data
    Error: ALC-ENC-100-005 You cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified or reader extended.: ALC-ENC-100-005 You cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified or reader extended.
    Remove Usage Rights ---> Remove PDF Password Encryption ---> Extract data   == SUCCESS

    I see that the "Unlock Passwod Encrypted PDF" service works fine in Short Lived Process. I'm unable to make it work in Long Lived process. Can someone please explain this behavior? Why is the limitation to Unlock PDF Password service to work only in short lived process?
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    Sandeep,
    Is your intention to remove the password encryption or just extract data from it?
    If you want to remove password encryption then you should first remove the usage rights and then remove pass encryption
    If you want to just extract data from it - You can create a short lived subprocess that has unlock PDF password and extract data which should work fine (Ensure that unlock and extract are in a short lived process)
    In case of long lived process when you unlock PDF password - the PDf gets unlocked and will be saved - and if you try to extract data it would fail because you need to unlock it again.

  • Protected form cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader for IPhone

    Hi,
    I've created a pdf form in Acrobat XI and password protected it for editing.  I can fill in the form and save it in adobe reader, but it cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader in an IPhone.  Are there any security settings I can use to protect the form from being edited and still allow it to be completed in an IPhone?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi Satyadev,
    Thanks to Adobe and you for looking into this issue and responding.  While
    your team works on expanding functionality for protection, please let them
    know that expanding the javascript api in Mobile Reader would be wonderful
    as well.  I made a search box that looks up towns in a list of over 900
    towns to make it so users didn't have to scroll through such a large list.
    This function works in Adobe Reader but not Mobile Reader because the
    javascript api in Mobile Reader is very limited.
    Thanks again,
    Bob
