Making a pdf "read only"

Hello
I created a document (459 pages !!! ) in Microsoft Word and then converted it to Adobe Acrobat Professional. It is stored on a drive which is shared by a "bunch" of users. This was not a problem, before, because none of the folks who utilized the document had anything except ADOBE Reader.   Now, because of new functions they have to perform, more and more of the staff are getting Professional.
All of that said, I need to secure the document so that it is a "read only" document for everyone except me, whether it is opened in Reader or Pro.
I have tried using the help functions but I'm just not getting it   and need a little hand holding.
Can someone please walk me thru the steps of what I need to do. ( Pretend I'm a total computer moron )
Thank you.

You can configure the document's Security Settings to make the PDF read only.
1. Click Document > Security > Show Security Settings for this Document.
2. Select Security Method as Password Security.
3. At the Password Security Settings dialog, check the Permissions box and assign a Permissions password known only to you (users can open the document without knowing this password)
     a. Define a setting for printing of the document as needed
     b. Define the setting for changing the document (None=read only; other restrictions are possible—experiment!)
     c. Enable copying of the document if needed
4. Click OK to save these settings.
5. Retype the Permissions password in Step 3.
6. You must save the document to preserve these settings.

Acrobat 8--Making a pdf Read-Only

My little pamphlet included with acrobat says I can make a pdf read-only. It never says another word about that. I tried security with passwords. What I got was some a document that wanted me to enter the password(s) each time I tried to access it. That's not what I wanted. There are hundreds of pdfs floating around on the web who seem to be read-only. I want to allow people to save, print and view it, but not modify it. How does one do that?

OK, I finally figured out how to remove password/permission (change), and then get just a change permissions password. I'm using the pop-up menu Documents Properties dialog to do this. When I look at the summary, it shows Changing the doc allowed, Commenting allowed, ..., Content copy allowed. However, when I go to Change Settings (via button), the story is different. The Changes Allowed pulldown selection shows None. If I pull it down, I see no way to make individual choices shown on the summary. Ah, got it. Good enough. Thanks.

Split PDF - read-only error

I am trying to split a PDF document on the top level bookmarks that I have created. I created all of the bookmarks using the file name that I want to output. I go to document, split document, select Top-level bookmarks and output options and select use bookmark names for file names and unselect "Do not overwrite existing files" and then click OK.
It creates about 12 of my 80-something bookmarks and then tells me that there is an error and it is read-only and will not split the rest of the document. I have saved-as under different names, in different locations and keep getting the same error message. The document that I am splitting is not read only, it is not protected. I have no idea why it won't continue to split the rest of the document. Any suggestions?

If it happens always at a specific location check if there's something out
of the ordinary with that bookmark. For example, does it contain any weird
characters in its name? Is it identical to another bookmark (or even to the
name of the document itself)?
I would think the application could handle those situations, but maybe it
can't...

PDF read only

Hi,
Is there a way in abap to determine if the pdf file uploaded from local is in read only?
Thanks in advance...

Use Preview to secure a PDF (read only)

Hello people,
I'm looking for a way to secure PDFs with Preview, to allow read only. Normally if one tries to encrypt the PDF from the drop down save as dialog box, Preview secures the whole PDF.
Similarly Pages can export to PDF but with all necessary options (open document, print, and copy) and that's all that i need. But what if a colleague comes with an already created PDF!?
Unless i buy Adobe Acrobat Pro for this (which is not going to happen) i'm out of luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrei Dica

I was also wondering about creating 'read only' PDFs in Preview.
The Security Settings mentioned by Lardlad allow you to set passwords to open the document, to copy parts of it or print all of it, but I can't see any option to prevent it being modified (read only).

Making a pdf read only once

Is there a way to secure a pdf file so that it can only be read once.
When re-using the security key, the file will not open a second time.
If that is possible how do you do so with Acrobat pro XI
Thanks.

Even with Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Management, there is not a way to automatically enforce that a user can only open a particular document one time at most. Instead, you set time periods for validity, but can manually revoke access to a protected document.

How do I make a PDF read only in Pro 9 extended

Hello,
I created a document in Adobe presenter and published a PDF file. I'm using the file in a LearninIg Management System where students can take courses online. I want the student to be able to open the PDF in the browser without the save or print option. I don't want to add any passwords or any other security features. Thankd

> Could you tell me how to get to the document security section to control printing and saving?
You cannot control saving at all.
To control printing, use File > Properties and look under the Security
tab. Read and note the warning message you get when setting security.
> I don't want to make it that easy to save
You can't make it any less easy.

Adobe .pdf reader opening documents delay

Occasionally, when i have a few pdf documents open, when I try to open another pdf nothing happens for a while, then it opens up a while later. i am running the latest version of adobe reader, on windows xp.
although not a big issue, is annoying when it happens, any ideas?
Thanks

Your application is all CPUs. Use x86 and the form opening error goes away.

Pages Document created on Macbook Air cannot be opened on Ipad Mini. I get a message that reads, "only documents saved in pages '09 may be opened." These devices are one week old and I just downloaded Pages for each.

I just got a Macbook Air running 10.8.2 and an iPad Mini. I downloaded Pages for both. I created a document in pages on the MBair and tried to save it to the iPad Mini so I could work on it while commuting and the file does not show up on the mini. I have tried to saved the file through iTunes app page and the message keeps telling me I can only transfer files saved in Pages 09. What gives? I can transfer files made in Microsoft word no problem, but files made in the same program do not work. Any help?? Very frustrating.

You are aware that Pages for Mac and Pages for iPad /iPhone/iPod are 2 different program?
Looks like you have Pages for Apple mobile devices but not for your Mac.
If that's the case
Pages for Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12
Pages for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8

Really just that? What is your operating system?

How can I protect a PDF file to where when I am editing the file and another user opens the file, it is only a read-only file?

I work for an auditing firm and we have recently gone paperless with our audit documentation. We have our files saved on a server and multiple people can access the same file at one time. We noticed that Acrobat does not give an message notifying a user that someone else is in that file, nor does Acrobat make that PDF file a read only file when someone else is in it editing the document. Is there a way to notify someone that another user is in the same PDF file? Or is there a way to make a PDF read only when someone else is working with the document?

Hi ashleyr1936858
You can restrict editing of a pdf by setting the password, such that anyone who wants to edit the pdf would need to input that password. This would make the pdf a read-only file.
Here's a Link for more information : Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords

Possible to save editable pdf as read only?

I need to make an editable pdf that I can send to a client. The client needs to be able to open it in Adobe Reader, make changes, save it, and then email to customers. Is there any way (in Adobe Reader) that they can make the pdf read-only after they have made their edits, so that their customers can't edit the pdf?

You can do it. They can't.
If this is something they are going to do a lot of, recommend that they purchase at least Acrobat Standard if not Pro.

How do I make a form READ ONLY??

I am using acrobat to create mutliple contracts that my company uses...we use the same format but change out dates and client information. We use the same document over and over but change the information in the fields, so I have been using the form tools to edit the different sections of the contract. I want to be able to edit the form within my own office and between employees but WE DONT WANT THE FINAL DRAFT to be editable. Is there a way a "LOCK" the form fields or preferably save a copy of a form as a "READ ONLY" document????
Basically I am asking if anyone knows how to save a pdf form as a read only pdf???
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE AWESOME!?!!

With the preflight tool of Acrobat Pro you can flatten the form fields.

Signature error saying read only

I am receiving an error message when I try to add a digital signature to a document right after creating it.The message says that it is read only document and cannot be saved, however it is not open in any other screens. This used to work and I have tried removing from the computer and re-installing it, but no luck. I am able to open it before emailing and sign it before sending it out, but else I get the message??? I really need this feture back and am not sure what else to try.

I an using Acrobat Pro 9 and it is stand alone. After I create a document out of Word and it becomes an Adobe PDF I want to use the signature button to drag the blue box over a line I have for a signature and place a digital signature that I have stored in Acrobat on the line. When I do that, it says it is read only and it will not save it that way. If I close the document, attach it to an email, and then open it and place the digital signature on it then, it will be attached to the email as it was signed, however it does not save on the computer as it was signed. Adobe used to let me sign and save it right away like I am trying to do.
