Password protecting a portfolio

how do you PW protect a portfolio of pdfs?

You can zip it with a password (encrypt it). Unfortunately that option, even though it comes as
standard equipment, is available only from the command line (terminal.app).

You may create an encrypted sparse image on your desktop and store your files
in it. It's portable too,
just copy the encrypted image to a flash drive and take it with you.

There is "Meo" (a free file encryption utility):

There is openssl (comes with OS X), a command line tool (terminal):

There are tons more of them out there, but I recommend these, because the price is right
and they will get the job done.

  • 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.

  • Combining password protected PDF files

    Hi,
    I need to combine two pdf files into one. But one of the file is Password Protected for Page Extraction.  It has no other restrctions other than password protection for Page Extraction.
    When I try to use File-->Combine-->Merge Files into Single PDF..., it asks for password and so I cannot combine the files.
    Can somebody please let me know if there is any way I can combine password protected files?
    Thank You

    Hi,
    I tried using portfolio but could not combine all files of a portfolio into single PDF file as it again asked for a password.I am not very proficient with Acrobat.
    Can you please let me know how to remove security where PageExtraction is password protected?
    Also, I never knew about packages in Acrobat. Can you please elaborate on how a package can be used for this?
    Thank You

  • Password-protecting a hyperlink to a file?

    Is it possible to make a hyperlink to a file password-protected in iWeb 3.0.3? For example, I'd like to make a portfolio on my website downloadable only to select clients. Thanks.

    Since iWeb can’t password-protect individual pages, consider posting your portfolio on posterous.com and text or image hyperlink to it. There's also a way to link to an external site (such as Posterous) directly from iWeb's navigation bar.
    You can set a password on your Posterous site so only the readers you want can see it. They don't need to create an account to see your site, just enter the password you give them. Simple. More information about private sites can be found HERE.

  • How do I send/email Documents with high security and password protected

    I want to send Documents securely to my clients. What product do I need and how do I send/email with password protection? I recently purchased Adobe Send but not sure this was the right product needed to send my documents securely?

    In Acrobat you can create a Portfolio in which your documents (any types) will be placed as attachments and encrypt the whole portfolio. You can also create a small PDF, possibly with explanation what is in it, attach your files to it, and encrypt this PDF. In this case you can encrypt attachments only, so that the user can open the shell PDF but to extract the files would need to know the password.

  • Password Protection Dreamweaver

    Hi Everyone,
    I hope some one can answer this simple question I have .
    I am trying to add a Login Password protected page or link to my website. Does
    anyone know an EASY way of doing this?
    What I am really trying to do is. I have different work sample of art for certain clients.
    I want them to go to my website to only view  the art work sample that I give them
    a password to. Does that make sense? So I am the client I got to the website
    to view the designers portolio and there are 3 portfolios. I only can view #2 portfolio
    since I was given the password and user name to it.
    Is that possible?
    I really hope someone can make my day
    Thank you
    Angel

    The easiest way would be to password protect the folder using your host control panel. This works well if you don't have too many client folders to manage.

  • How can I protect my data in numbers from unintentional user of my iPad by other family members? In other words, how can I password protect my numbers and other apps from apple computer company?

    I have other members of my family use my iPad for educational/recreational use, young children who may want to play kid games. I don't want them to accdently get into my data stored in the three business apps from apple. I would like to password protect these files.
    I would also like to log out of the email systems that I use, so some one else can use this device to access their own emails. By leaving my accounts open al the time, is really asking for trouble from a host of sources.
    I can't believe that the iPad is not designed to protect the privacy and data from prying eyes ... Un intuitional as it may be.
    Please fix this issue so I create my info on this device and enjoy it fully. Or tell me how I can protect my data.
    Thnax.

    Thanx for your response. Any data stored anywhere should be able to be protected from stealing, malicious destruction or unintentional destruction. Theo ad an be stolen and without any kind ofpassword protection, the thief could get into your sensitive data.
    If Apple wants iPad to become a business tool that can be used with ideas, thots, data protected, then Apple needs to provide this protection to it's customers. Now it's unto the users to use it or not.
    I know iPad is being considered to be used by doctors, and can u imagine the confidentiality requirements of HIPPA rules... It will make this device not usable without data protection. I am sureweall have heard about hacking going on at all levels. It's surprising that this device's software is left unprotected.
    My iPad may be sitting on my desk and my 3 year old grand daughter would pick it up and start "playing" with it. That means I can't store anything on this machine that may possibly be changed.
    I have discussed this with specialists in apple stores, and those who have been around info technology understand my concerns and they may forward this request further up. They do not have the answer for it..... So far.
    I think data security should be everyone's concern... Be it a one person device or multiple user device.
    I hope that some responsible people at Apple would read this and provide the protection that will make this device lot more acceptable in the business world.

  • I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects.  What am I missing?  Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

    Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

  • 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.

  • My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV.  Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it?  How can I prevent this from happening?  Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

    My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV.  Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it? 
    How can I prevent this from happening?  Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

    Did you try Parental Controls?
    Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
    See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.

  • Can I configure an external drive to be password protected or do I need to buy an external hard drive already password enabled

    I asked at a Hong Kong apple shop if they had password protected external drives.  They didn't, I bought one anyway.
    I'm wondering can I configure this drive.  If yes, what do I need to do?

    This looks like the easiest and most direct method and since it uses Disk Utility it would work on any OS.

    You saved it after setting the Password? :
    Inspector > Document > Document > Require Password to Open
    I just tested it and it shows up ijn The Finder with a padlock on the file icon and does require a password to open.

  • Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4

    Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4. I follow steps in Apple:Support but I get an error saying "Resource busy"?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
