Password secured PDF forms

Can password secured PDF forms be filled out on mobile devices?
I've tried it on my iPhone and it doesn't appear that I can fill out the form. Wondering if it's just me or if other people are also not able to fill out secured PDF forms on mobile devices.

You can remove the security using Acrobat (not Reader) then use ExportPDF.

How to: Secure pdf form that is emailed and later uploaded

We have a pdf form that will be posted on our website. Local college/university faculty will link to the form on their websites or just give students the link to our page. Students will fill the form and it will be emailed to a faculty member from their specific school. The faculty member then needs to review the form and select candidates to present for an internship. At that point, they need to upload the form back to our server.
This form will contain sensitive information and therefore needs to be secure during the filling, emailing, and uploading processes. The faculty member receiving it needs to be able to access it as does the person on our end that will do the final reviewing after it is uploaded back to us.
I have no idea how to even start. I've created interactive forms but have never embedded one in an website. The closest I've come is a recently created web application that filled a pdf form in the code-behind and then emailed it, but that didn't require any security.
Any help will be appreciated.

Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?
Or better yet, a way to draw lines on to a form without using the comment and markup function?
I like your idea about connecting two forms - but I need to keep the final product as simple as possible. Once the user fills it out, they would be to be able to submit it and it show up as one file, even if that is just a flat file. I don't expect you all to tell me how to do this, but it would be nice to know its possible before I commit to the project and research. Thanks in advance.

Apply password on pdf form submit to php

I'm trying to submit a PDF fillable form online that will apply a password after the form has been submitted, then email to me, without the mailto:command.
Trying to send to a PHPform processor to do the mailto option. Is there a writeup, or plugin for this.
I've seen an processor.asp do this, but can't find one for php.

I think I see you want to submit the data to a web server, then have the PDF encrypted on arrival. You can't do this with a plug-in. That's not least because the license for Acrobat doesn't allow it to be used on a server.
Adobe produce some server products with "LiveCycle" in the name. These are enterprise software, priced accordingly. Perhaps one of these can do that.

Combining a password secured pdf

I am looking for a way to allow a password protected pdf to be combined with other files into a single pdf. I'm looking at the Document Restrictions Summary in the Document Properties and seeing "Changing the Document: Not Allowed," and "Document Assembly: Not Allowed." I'd like to allow Document Assembly without allowing Changing the Document. If there is no way to do this, then why would there be two different permissions shown in the properties?

Don't think it is possible. Document assembly is a change in the document. Why not simply turn off the security, combine the files, then reapply the security if needed.

How do you make a secure pdf form editable?

How do you make a secure pdf file editable?

The best way is to apply a digital signature to the file. Any other way can
be manipulated quite easily.

Secure pdf form sent by email

I created a self-signed digital ID for both signature end data encryption.
Then I created a pdf form by using livecycle and put it on our website, and after users fill it in, they will click submit by email to submit the data.
I tried to create a self-signed digital ID.- that also does data encryption. Then I did a test to fill the form, send by email. I suppose it has encrypted the attached PDF form, but I can open it just like regular form without encryption. How can I know if it is encrypted or not?
Thanks

This is my exact concern. I want to know that return email with xml data files are encrypted for confidentiality. Does anyone know how this is done?

Secure PDF Forms

Hi,
Should probably be posting this question in the Acrobat
forums but hoping I can get an answer here.
I'm a designer and I've been asked by a client how to best
create PDF docs containing form fields for end users to fill out
and submit. The client wants to send out the pdf docs via a mailing
list. He wants the PDF's to be opened in a web browser, have the
end user fill out the required fields and submit the sensitive data
back to him (the data will be HIGHLY sensitive so must be encrypted
or somehow secure).
Can someone please advise the best way to go about this?
I've made a start going through these pages
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7 e1e.html
Many thanks,

I would like to give some additional "request-power" to this capability: As my company is paying for the software-licences for Adobe Pro and for the needed licences to add extended rights to some of the created forms, we would expect that our customers can use our forms regardless of the plattform, these users actually prefer to use. This includes mobile devices nowadays. And as we have to reply to the resulting customer-requests, we would really appreciate a fast solution, i. e. Adobe Reader for iOS supporting the same features as the desktop-version.
It seems kind of strange, that the reader-app from Adobe does not support some of the settings, that you make with the corresponding desktop-software, while the apps of other providers support these features (in their pay-apps). At least Adobe pushes the sells of those apps by not supporting your own features.
There would be no discussion, if those restrictions would be given by iOS - which would not be to much of a surprise - but in this case there is no OS-restriction.
What we did not yet verify is, if there is any Adobe Reader for android and if this app completely supports our forms. Do you have any information on that?
Again, thanks for your efford!
Sincerely
Matthias Henkel
Edit: some typos
Add: Since Adobe Reader XI for desktop even allows to save filled secured forms, that have no extended rights, it's time for Reader for iOS to support filling secured forms finally!

Lock/Password in pdf of Adobe forms

Hi,
I want to include password /lock concept means when user run the program the pdf should be downloaded with password. so that only the person who runs the report can able to see the output using the password

Hi Anurodh,
Just do the following:
1. Put all the subforms in a single subform your pdf form.
2. Create another subform to get password from user. On it create a password field and a button.
3. Now suppose in your pdf the main subform let 'A' contains subforms A1, A2, A3. A3 is password form.
4. Then write the following code in the form:ready event of the A:
$.A1.presence = "hidden"
$.A2.presence = "hidden"
5. Write the following code in the click event of the button on the subform for password i.e. A3.
if( PasswordField1.rawValue == "password" )
then
A.A1.presence = "visible"
A.A2.presence = "visible"
$.parent.presence = "hidden"
else
$host.messageBox("Wrong Password!!!!!")
endif
Hope it will help to create a password protected pdf form.
Regards,
Vaibhav Tiwari.

Question about bulk entering security password to 600 forms, then exporting datato spreadsheet

How do I extract data from password secured Fillable-Forms when all the forms (600+) have the same password?
- single file at a time, I am able to enter password and extract data (but I have over 600 forms)
- I have already compiled all files into a response-file, but was unable to exctract data from Portfoio (only "File_Name" is transfered to spreadsheet)
Questions:
1) is there a location in the Portfolio to enter the password (that I am not seeing) that will allow data to be extracted?
2) is there a method to 'bulk' enter the password to individual forms that will allow data to be compiled directly into a spreasheet?

Thanks, now I understand why the wifi keeps dropping. On my personal wireless network, it also seems the distance from the access point is not good compared to my laptop. At work our network & exchange teams don't seem to have the desire to struggle with this "toy" until customers start forcing its adoption. I am using OWA and it works fine over EDGE. I will share your posting with them.
Thank you again.

Setting passwords for pdf document generated by SAP system

We are generating PDF documents from SAP system and distributing them as email attachment. just want to know if anyhow we can enforce the password protection while generating these documents or may be setting the password protection before distribution. If yes, then what are the requirements/essentials for the same?

1. Is there any OSS Note on the same issue where it has been published by SAP that it can only be ensured using third party solutions? If yes, may I have the link?
I have no clue on this i.e. whether we can integrate Adobe Policy Server. My understanding was in it's current state it is NOT possible to have secured PDF Forms.
2. May I have the more elaboration on the way you mentioned in your reply?
Well what you can do is hide all the elements in the form and keep only a TextField visible. Now write a script and check the value entered in the TextField. If it matches with the default password you want to set then make the form visible else display error prompt back to user.

I don't know what you mean by "printed entries"; you mean filled-in form fields?

How can I allow both filling in form fields AND inserting/replacing pages in a secure pdf?

Password security will not allow both those actions.

PDF password security greyed out while saving a PDF MP Navigator

Hello,
I am unable to set a password for pdf's that I scan with MP Navigator. I have been doing it for years, but now it has greyed out. It is not selectable. I recently upgraded my mobo and did a clean reinstall. The problem occurred before the upgrade and now remains despite full reinstalls of everything. The preferences button provides no way to turn passwords on or off. The Set... button shows password security also greyed out.
Win 7 Home premium 64 bit, 8GB, 250GB SSD root drive, Core i7. MP navigator EX 5.1. Pixma MP 895.
Thanks,
Jim

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

PDF Form Security

We have created a pdf form which our web server uses to collect ticket information from our ticketing software and populate the corresponding fields on the pdf form. The form is then attached to an email and sent to the ticket purchaser so they can print their eticket at home, and it includes a barcode which then gets scanned at the entrance of the performance venue. (i.e. Eticket or Print At Home)
However, we have just discovered that the ticket element fields can be edited by the end user when they receive it. They cannot save the file, but they can print the form with the changes they make. We are concerned that users may try to change their seats or performance time. I have tried to lock the form with a password, but then that prevents the webserver from importing the data into the pdf form from the ticketing software.
Any ideas how to allow the server to fill in the fields with information, but then lock the pdf form for editing when it is sent to the end user/purchaser?

There really isn't any actual secure way of doing this with Acrobat.
You really can't even keep them from saving the PDF. In fact, by nature, it is already saved to their hard drive elsewise they wouldn't be able to view it.
I would suggest looking in to a Digital Rights Management solution. That is as close to secure as you are going to get but it's very expensive.

Edit a secure interactive PDF form without regenerating form?

I have a client who needs for me to make a minor change to a password-secured interactive PDF form we've created for her. I have the password, of course, but Adobe Acrobate won't let me know enter the password without first saving the form as a copy. This, however, strips all of the interactivity from the form. I don't want to have to redo all of the fields just to make this minor change, and I imagine I'm just missing the obvious method of entering the password.
So, how to I disable the password without wiping out the interactive fields so I can make the change then save the form again with security and interactive form fields intact?

Thanks, Luke. They do. But then when I go to add the password security back to the document, I'm told:
You cannot change security on this document because the document enables extended features in Adobe Reader. You can save a copy without extended Reader features using File -> Save A Copy.
This, of course, takes me back to square one. I need to make the change but keep the same password protection (disabling the ability to edit the file) intact.
