Password protection for pdf output

Hi all,
We are using 10g reports. We are displaying the reports in pdf output only. Now we would like to protect the pdf from unauthenticated users. All we need to encrypt a password with in the pdf file. Is there any way or approach to solve my requirement?
Regards,
Balaji

Hello,
Take a look at : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/pluginxchange/index.html
Secure PDF Destination
This destination creates a secure PDF that is password-protected. This sample is tested with Oracle Reports 9i, Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4), and Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).

    you will have to take the help of Professional Pdf editind tools such as Nova pdf or the Full version of Adobe Acrobat i.e. Acrobat Professional ..

    How to password protect PDF documents or files?
    Open the PDF file in Acrobat
    Select File > Document Security from the menu
    Got to the u201CSecurity Optionsu201D drop-down and select u201CAcrobat Standard Securityu201D
    Find the box labelled u201CPassword required to open documentu201D and place a check mark against it.
    Edit or type the password
    You can also add a password requirement for changing permissions or password.To add a a required password check the box against u201Crequired password to change permissions or passwordu201D and enter the password. However note that this password must be different from the one that you entered for securing or password protecting the PDF file.
    If you want your PDF document to be password accessible to users with previous versions of Acrobat Reader (versions earlier than 5.0), do not change the 40-bit encryption setting. However if your users or audience will be using version 5 or later versions of the Reader (or the full Acrobat program) then you may use 128-bit encryption.

  • Will Standard Edition of Adobe Acrobat allow password protection for PDF files or do I need to purchase Acrobat Pro?

    I need to password protect PDF files in an office environment. I was wondering if I need Adobe Acrobat Pro or would the Standard Edition suffice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Standard is sufficient.

  • Password Protection for pdf file

    Hi Gurus,
      Wish u happy new year
       Is there any possibility for giving the password for the pdf file from SAP so that it should be password enabled. Now am able to send the pdf file  attachment through mail. But my requirement is I have to give the password facility to the pdf file so that when the user wants to see the pdf file in mail it should ask that password.
      Hope my requirement is clear.
    Points will be awarded
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi Gurus,
      Any Solution

  • Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

    What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
    We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
    We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
    Help?

    You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
    Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

  • 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?

  • Password Protection of PDF file generated thru SAP

    Hi,
    I have written a program to send payslip through email . This mail sends the payslip as a PDF attachment.
    I want to password protect that PDF document, so that it asks for a password before being opened by the employee.
    Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Sanchit

    Hi sanchit,
    1. The payslip passes thru SCOT
       settings,
       which in turn generates the PDF
       and sends mail.
    2. SCOT does not provide any such facility,
       for password protection.
    3. I don't think the password
       concept can be done in a normal fashion !
    regards,
    amit m.

  • 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.

    I am unable to password protect a pdf file. Any thoughts. I went to help and none of the options were available to me.. I pay for pdf conversion to word and excel

    Password protection is ONLY available with Acrobat Standard or Pro. The PDF to Word converter is just what the name implies... PDF to Word... No encryption, no protection.
