PDF Security API's

Hi All,
a) We have generated a PDF output using BI Publisher and it is PASSWORD protected.
On a custom screen we are providing a button to open this PDF with WATERMARK applied and NO user intervention required ( i.e user needn't provide the password after pressing the button). We are able to apply the WATERMARK but PDF is asking for the password .
IS there a BI Publisher API available to remove the password from the PDF during the merging or applying WATERMARK and display it without user intervention ?
Regards,
AM

don't think there is a way to remove after the PDF is generated.
I'm assuming your regenerating the content after adding the water mark. I would just remove the property in the api call to make the pdf password secured.

Adding PDF Security attributes while PDF Merge

Hi,
I am trying to merge multiple pdf document and want to secure the output using pdf security attributes.
Is there a way to achieve this while pdf merge ?
(I am able to do so while generating the pdf using FO Processor but not while merging existing pdf files.)
Thanks in Adavance
~neeraj

Hi Neeraj
What API are you using to merge the documents ?
If you are using PDFDocMerger you can use the setConfig method on the API to set the password.

Using pdf-security with FormProcessor blanks out entire PDF

When I try to set the pdf-security property and its associated properties with the FormProcessor.setConfig API method, the resulting PDF document is completely blank. And no, it's not an issue of my security. When I view the security properties within the document, it says there is no security. Has anyone been able to get this to work with FormProcessor, and if so, HOW???
Regards,
KH

It's rather sad to have to be answering my own post, but for anyone else who might need this info this seems to have worked in my project - at least locally... Although it doesn't appear to be documented, you can use the same properties from the FOProcessor engine with the FormrProcessor engine, and call the FormProcessor.setConfig() method.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("remove-pdf-fields", "true");
props.setProperty("pdf-security", "true");
fProcessor.setConfig(props);

I don't think it is possible to download just the security docs. All the

PDF Security password in my Photoshop Elements 10?

Where do I get my PDF Security Password? I'm trying to open a file from my computer and a window pops up asking for my security password?

As Mylenium said once a PDF file's been created with a password, it cannot be cracked. You need to check with the creator of the file for its password.
Thanks

The pdf security is not working in Flash Paper

Is anyone facing a similar problem.
The pdf security if applied with a passsword to select the
text & graphics, printing, etc does not work. It selects any
and every text in flash paper and pdf. Does anyone know how can one
prevent to copy any text or graphics ...

I have the same issue. My phone says the files are corrupt and they stay corrupt if I forward then from my phone. It like the phone checks for something in the PDF, when it never did before.

How to use BEA Security API to build ownuser admin

Hello,
I want to build my own interface for a user admin module (create user, get role
names, etc) by using the BEA security API. I have been looking through the Javadocs
but can't find the key to how to start it, meaning what are the basic steps to
begin (e.g. first get connection to server bean, then create some generic bean,
etc etc).
Has anyone doen this?

Thanks - peterI'm not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to do. WebLogic
Server has a model where application code runs in the containers and the
containers call into the security framework where authentication and
authorization is handled by plug-in modules. Are you attempting to build
one of those plug-in modules? Are you trying to write an ejb or a
servlet?

PDF Security II

Hello all, I was reading a post about pdf security and the following script, created by Mike Brog, was mentioned. However, I do not know how to modify it to work for me. I am very new to scripting. Some of the elements look familiar to me, but I still do not know what to modify.
I should clarify that I need the script to export a pdf with the security settings already applied.
I have replied to the original post but thought I would get a better response by making a new post.
Thanks Tom

Removing PDF Security Settings ??

Hello;
1) Out of curiosity, an expert responded earlier to a post in this forum suggesting that one can remove the PDF security settings by using Adobe Acrobat (NOT Adobe Reader).
Is that true ??
2) If I distribute a Read-only, password-protected, Blocked PDF file:
..a. Can someone with average knowledge of Adobe products easily remove the security settings of the file ??
..b. ONLY those with advanced knowledge can do that. Correct ??
..c. Can someone with only the free Adobe Reader unlock the file and disable the password protection ??
3) I'm sure someone must have posted here or on the internet a step-by-step how-to !!
Password protection of VBA, Word, Excel, etc. documents are known to be unreliable, and I suppose the same can be said about PDF.
Any comments ??
Monir
PS. If the topic is a bit sensitive, please reply by a PM. Thank you.

1. Correct. Reader cannot remove security but Acrobat can (if they have the password).
2.(a): I wouldn't say "average but it can be done quite easily
(b.) Not really
(c.)No. Reader cannot remove security
3. Basically without using some sort of Digital Rights Management, nothing is secure. There are free applications that can remove security and other PDF readers may even ignore it to begin with.
So if you absolutely need security, studay up on Digital Rights Management and get out the checkbook because it isn't cheap by a long shot.

PDF Security Setting in Crystal report

Hi All,
I would like to ask, is there anyway for us to change the PDF security setting that created by crystal report? We ussualy see the security setting in PDF documents settintg.
Thanks!

You would need to program that step yourself or use a 3rd-party Report Managers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html (I know at least one of them provides that functionality).

PDF.js removing PDF security

I am facing similar problems as discussed in the below mentioned forum post
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1014746
PDF.js is not considering the enabled PDF security. The functionality what i want to achieve is to control the print to file option using tools like CutePDF. If a user tries to print the PDF to a file and PDF is created by setting encryption is opened in Adobe reader, the saved PDF will be blank. But this is not happening in PDF.js and it is saving the content of the PDF. Can this be handled in PDF.js?

I am hearing you say that you do not want it to print the content and you want the security to create the page blank. It looks like it should handle security according to the bug mentioned. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792816#c12]

PDF Security: A Question

I am searching for a 3rd party company that provides pdf password protection - pdf encryption. I am aware: nothing is hacker-proof. I just want a deterrent. I don't want a high end DRM company. I'm hoping to find a 3rd part product that fulfills the following criteria. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
A. GENERAL IDEA: password protection that ties pdf file to the individual computer and prevents them from illegal sharing. (I don't care if they modify or print)
B. User inputs password only once (unlike Adobe's), the first time he opens pdf file.
C. User cannot duplicate file and place on another computer and/or place on a CD or other removable medium (and still have it function).
D. Work across PC and MAC platforms
E. Different password generated for each document
F. Password protection works within the PAYLOADZ/PAYPAL environment (PAYLOADZ is a company that downloads a copy of the pdf file (original sits on a server), to user, as soon as Pay Pal confirms payment.)

Passwords tend to be forgotten easily and are a support nightmare and if licensing control is not used then there is nothing to stop users sharing them.
We looked at several DRM companies as part of a consultancy project for a client. FileOpen was complex and their history of security incidences looked rather shady. We talked to a couple of their customers who had endless problems when Adobe and Microsoft updated their software and after trying out the software ourselves gave it a bigs thumbs-down. We also looked at Armjisoft (don't think they actually have any customers) and their 'security' seemed rather dubious with a plug-out design, and LockLizard who use their own viewer. Most of the other companies we looked at did use passwords but did not prevent them from being shared - so there was no point in pursuing these further. We ended up recommending LockLizard to our customer based on feedback from their customers and our own use of the software - also it did everything our client required. Their pricing starts at $2495 which is a lot cheaper than some of high DRM companies who tend to specialize in document collaboration with PDF security on the side. However If you have $65,000 to spare you could always look at Adobe Policy Server. After all, this is an Adobe forum!

Thanks for the reply dood... i've found the solution after several tries... i had to set the channel from the actionscript instead of depending on the Service-config.xml file like the following.. then it worked..
var cs:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
var chnl:Channel = new Channel();
var customChannel:Channel = new AMFChannel("my-amf", "http://localhost:8080/somehting/messagebroker/amf");
                cs.addChannel(customChannel);
consumer = new Consumer();
consumer.channelSet = cs;

Acrobat Pro 8, PDF security: Is it possible to allow printing, but forbid editing?

Hello everybody! I have a question concerning the PDF security settings. We are using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 (CS3) on an Mac OS X 10.4.11 system.
When creating a PDF, is it possible to...
...permit printing AND enable reading aids BUT forbid editing (like copying text)?
Or can I only either permit all OR forbid all?
Thank you for your kind help!
Mats

Okay, I solved it myself. :-)
I had set the "PDF compatability" to "1.4". This removes the a.m. option. So now, I have set it to "1.5" (or even another later standard), and can now allow printing AND allow reading aids BUT forbid copying text.
Thank you!
