  • How to enable indexing of a protected adobe acrobat document

    Hi
    I was trying to index all Adobe Acrobat documents inside one directory but I got a message suggesting that indexing of password-protected Adobe Acrobat documents is not possible.
    I would like to know if there is a protection level (say read-only protection) that allows indexing of Adobe Acrobat documents. That would allow me to search for specific workd inside my index of Adobe Acrobat documents even if they are password protected.
    Or is there any other means (say an add-in) that would allow indexing of password protected Adobe Acrobat documents and then enable searching thro these documents.
    A.C.

    In the security settings enable copying of the. Don't assign a open password.

  • How do I password-protect a PDF document that doesn't let me change the security settings?

    I want to password-protect my PDF document (so when I email it, it can only be opened/read by intended recipients as it contains confidential/sensitive information) but when I go into document security, I'm unable to change the Security Method (which is currently set to 'No Security' - not by me).  There's a 'show details' icon but it's grey so I can't click on it.  What can I do to protect this document from being opened by non-intended recipients?

    Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader!  That makes sense.  Thanks so much for your reply.  At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs.  If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

  • How do i password protect a pages document?

    i have a document that i created in pages.  it is a worksheet for brides (we are wedding photographers).  i use to have the document set up so when i email the document to a client, they can read the questions/timeline but cannot edit my text.  i have cells in tables that they can answer in.  the cells were grey in color.  the way i did this was by maybe putting a password on the document (which left the area grey for them to respond in).  but i cannot remeber how i did this.  i'm wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about and/or how to do it.

    Password protection prevents a document from being opened without the password.
    Locking an object (such as a text box or table) prevents the object of its contents from being altered without first unlocking the object. No password protection is available for this, though, so the recipient could easily unlock the object and change its content.
    At least one of Adobe's PDF applications offers the features you want—non-editable base document with fields that can be filled by the user, then saved and the file returned.

  • How do I set a password for adobe reader?

    how do I set a password for adobe reader

    You can set a password for your device (iPad or iPhone) in Settings. You cannot set a password on the Adobe Reader app itself.
    If you want to password protect a PDF document you cannot do it in Reader. It must be done in Acrobat on Macintosh or Windows.

  • Password Protect a Pages document

    How can I set a password protect on a document when saving it?

    Another method is to save it as a password locked PDF.
    From your open Document, Print,
    click on the PDF dropdown
    Save as PDF
    Click Security Options and set a password.
    Save.
    Whether this suits your needs I don't know. I thought I'd throw it in there.

  • Hi there, i have Q i have excel file it need to be block with password. Could you please explain how i make password protect to Excel document

    Hi there,

    On the File menu, click Save As.
    On the Tools menu, click General Options.
    Do either or both of the following:
    If you want users to enter a password before they can view the workbook, type a password in the Password to open box, and then click OK.
    If you want users to enter a password before they can save changes to the workbook, type a password in the Password to modify box.
    NOTE   Unlike passwords you specify in the Password to open box, passwords you specify in the Password to modify box are not encrypted. These passwords are only meant to give specific users permission to modify workbook data. For optimal password security, it's best to assign both passwords. An encrypted password to access the workbook, and one to provide specific users with permission to modify its content. IMPORTANT   Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.
    If you want to use a different encryption type, click Advanced, click the type you want in the Choose an encryption type list, and then click OK.
    If needed, specify the number of characters you want in the Choose a key length box.
    NOTE   Document property encryption is enabled by default for most encryption types and providers. It prevents unauthorized users from viewing summary and custom file properties (such as the author or any custom file information) in theProperties dialog box. When users right-click the password-protected file, and then click Properties, information won't be available on the Summary tab and Customtab. Authorized users, however, can open the file and view all file properties (Filemenu, Properties command). To disable document property encryption, clear theEncrypt document properties check box.
    Click OK.
    When prompted, retype your passwords to confirm them.
    Click Save.
    If prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook.
    NOTE   You can also secure a workbook with a password on the Security tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu, Options command).

  • How to password protect a numbers document

    I am using Numbers 08
    And the Numbers User Guide, supplied with iWork '08, make no mention of password protection, which was introduced in Numbers '09.
    Looks like the best option is Wayne's second suggestion—open via File > Print > PDF > Open in Preview, then Save the resulting PDF document with encryption turned on.
    An alternate, if you want the recipients to receive a copy of the Numbers '08 file, and to be able to edit that file, you could enclose it in a secure disk image file.
    The basic procedure is to:
    Use Disk Utility to create a new, blank, sparse disk image, assign a password and save.
    Double-click the .dmg file (and enter the password when requested) to mount the disk image on your desktop, then Save a copy of your file to the (open) disk image.
    When done, eject the image, and upload the (encrypted) .dmg file to the website.
    Detailed instructions may be found in Disk Utility's Help files.
    Launch DU (found in the Utilities folder in Applications), click the Help menu and choose Disk Utility help.
    Go to the index, scroll to and click Security, then click a title similar to "Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image." (a search on 'confidential' should also take you to a list containing that title.)
    My version of DU is old enough that sparse images hadn't been introduced, or I'd post a copy of the article here.

  • Insert Adobe Reader document into a Word document.

    How do I insert an Adobe Reader document in to a Microsoft Word document?  I have the Windows 7 operating system.

    You can insert it as an object, via Insert - Object. You can't insert its contents into the Word file directly, unless you copy them and then paste them in your document or convert the PDF to a Word file (not possible with just the free Reader).
