Preview/Adobe PDF password protection issue

I have a pdf file that is password protected to be able to view the content. The protection works as it should in Adobe Reader. However, when I open the file in Preview I can see the first page, but the rest are unviewable. The page thumbnail on the right is just a placeholder, not an actual thumbnail and when you navigate to those pages the actual page appears as a ? in a box.
Any suggestions as to what is going on or how to make this work properly?

Just to register that it seems to be really a problem with Preview. I had a similar problem too. I had a secure PDF (no doc assembly, no page extraction, no commenting, no filling form, no signing, no creation of template pages) and it opens as expected in Acrobat Reader 9, but in Preview, all pages ate blank, and the thumbs are absent, with only the first page being seen as a blank one. I tried to open it in Acrobat Reader 8 and it says that it couldn't open the document because it couldn't decrypt it. I guess that Acrobat 9 has some new encryption scheme that is incompatible with previous versions, including Apple's Preview.
I'd like to know if a fix for this is planned.
Thanks a lot!

AirPrint and pdf password protected file issue

Hello
I'm facing issue while printing pdf password protected file via Airprint.
From my iPhone /iPad I can print without any issue to my HP dj 2540 almost everything except pdf password protected file.
The same pdf file (protected with password) can be printed without any issue form any PC/laptop.
Do anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue, please?
Thanks
regards
Michele

It seems that everyone asking this question have links from Grand Canyon University which will soon have over a 100,000 online students that all use ebooks that open just fine in Adobe Acrobat on their PCs BUT NOT on the mobile versions of Adobe Acrobat. Whatever allows this on PCs needs to be added to the mobile version soon. We rely on our etextbooks that can ONLY be opened on the PC version of Acrobat. That is ridiculous. I can't believe with all the posts regarding password protected ebooks on this forum....that it hasn't been resolved. No one can give you a link because the ebooks are on a website that needs a password. We can save the books to our harddrives/dropbox... I could send you a copy, but thats it. Surely someone at Adobe knows what the hell is going on and can test the problem out themselves?

Adobe Reader Password Protect PDF

I'm using a Dell PC and I have a question about password protecting. Can I do it on the free version? And if so, how can I do it? (with detailed instructions) Or what would I have to purchase if I am unable to?

Not possible with Adobe Reader. Possible with Adobe Acrobat.

How robust is PDF-Password protection? Does it also work for PDF/A?

Several sources say that PDF passwords can be removed with appropriate software. Is this true?
Can I also protect a PDF/A with a password? If not, how can I be sure that I can still open a regular password protected PDF in 10 years from now?
Many thanks.

Actually PDF/A is specifically designed to guarantee that the documents can be read in the distant future (barring global destruction, end of reality as we know it, alien sheep invasions, etc.)
While we cannot predict which vendor will be providing the software to do it, or how the data will be stored by then (holographic data mice are still in beta) the PDF/A standard is designed to do two very important things:
The standard is open, so the structure of a PDF/A file can be interpreted by anyone who can open it and compare the contents to the standard (which itself is also published in PDF/A). It's basically a text file with lots of symbols in it.
PDF/A forbids any encryption or licensed algorithms (e.g. H.264) that could be impossible or illegal for a future viewer to use, for example if a password is lost or the inventor of a proprietary algorithm goes crazy and cancels all the licenses.
Combined, these points make PDF/A impossible not to be parsable. It may end up projected directly into your brain by the aforementioned holographic data mouse, but you'll be reading it all the same.

As to your ability to open a secured password in 20 years from now? Heck there is no guarantee that your non-secured pdf file will be readable in 20 years. With PDF/A your chances are pretty good as it uses standards based file format, but there is no guarentee that Adobe or any other company doing business today will be in business 20 years from now.

Adobe pdf online view issue- End user license agreement

There is an issue with viewing adobe pdf online.

I just found on other thread. I tried this and it helped solve view the contents. I other words this resolved.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Why unable to sign PDF with certificate after applying Nitro PDF password protection? (despite it explicitly allowing signing with certificates)

I used Adobe Reader XI to sign PDFs with certificate, which worked perfectly. Except that the PDF could still be edited by other programs (for example, Nitro PDF) after the signing (but not the fill out fields and the signature). To apply password protection makes sense to avoid changes in the PDF being made after it has been signed. So I applied password protection via Nitro PDF that allows only enter fill-out fields and signing. But when I open it with Adobe Reader, the filling out works fine, but the signing part is not available to click on it (all of the buttons under "Sign" tab are grey). When I go on the Security properties with Adobe Reader, I can explicitly see that signing of this PDF is allowed and yet the option is not open to use for me anymore.
Any ideas on why it is the case and what I could do about that?
Many thanks!
O.

Actually yes, I just asked my colleague to assist me with this, he password-protected the PDF with Acrobat 8, explicitly allowing for signing and fill-out functions, it also appears in Adobe Reader under security properties as "allowed", but it is not open to use in the Reader for me anymore (grey buttons).

Transferring member Login passwords from a Joomla website to an adobe muse password protected site

I am creating a new site for a parent side Preschool Website which is replaceing an existing Joomal site. The Joomla site was password protected so each parent could login with their own unique password to view the site. We have created a new site in Adobe Muse allowing the school administrators to manage certain content.
My problem is that I need help to make the interior site Password protected for the 200-300 parent members using the same login info the parents created when they where using the Joomla site. We have super administrator capabilities in the old Joomla site. The new Muse site also needs to allow New parents to register as well.
I do believe I need to use Business catalyst, but have no idea how to as well as transfer the existing login info from the old Joomla site into the new Muse site.
PLEASE HELP!
Time is of the Essence!

Hello,
For password protected (Secure Zone) issue, this should be helpful : http://forums.adobe.com/message/6035751#6035751

Adobe PDF for Goods Issue / Stock

Hi All,
I've been looking thru the list of available Adobe Forms in SFP, and there are a few for purchasing (MEDRUCK etc) and some for issuing and receipting. I haven't been able to locate any around the inventory control area.
It is easy to use adobe forms for Purchase Orders (assigned in Define Message Types for Purchase Order) however it is not clear in configuration where to assign an adobe form for receipts / issues and inventory.
Has anyone had any luck using adobe forms for these functions or is everyone still using smartforms? Does SAP even support adobe forms for Goods Issues / receipt and pyhsical inventory documents?
Kind Regards,

Nomally, PDF forms are supported for only External documents , since IM related documents are for the companys internal purpose i guess there isnt an option given for PDF forms for them . But there are standard programs which you can use to convert any Spool to PDF SE38: RSTXPDFT4 .
Or you can install PDF printer , and get any output in PDF format directly from SAP.
Or you need your abaper to use OTF in the Print program to gte an outpurt in PDF.

Adobe PDF to page issue

Has there been any resolution as far as using Authorware 6.5
or later to open an Acrobat file to a specific page? I would like
to have Authorware launch the PDF at a specific page, and would
like to accomplish this with code rather than a plug-in. Is this
possible yet?

You can open a pdf to a specific page by specifying the page
as part of the
URL. You may need to use JumpOutReturn or GoToNetPage for
this. I found the
following at the PlanetPDF website:
"Make the button/link go to
http://www.mysite.com/pdffilename.pdf#page=10.
Where 10 is the page
number you want to open."
The following code worked for me in AW6.0:
JumpOutReturn ("", "
http://myURL/pdf/filename.pdf#page=10")
I've changed the domain and filename to protect the guilty.

PDF password protection

Hi,
We have generated paystub in PDF format using function modules and sending it via email as an attachment. Now we wanted to put password to pdf file before sending an email. Is it possible to put password to PDF file in ABAP on R/3 4.7. Password should be unique to each employee paystub.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Ramana.

I dont think its possible at SAP.
Still yo may check this thread -

N73 Adobe .pdf reader memory issues

I have just purchased an N73 and a 2Gb memory card, I have loaded my contacts and a number of media files onto the card (mp3, jpg , pdf, doc and html file, a couple of profiles, MSN and F-Secure anti-virus software).
There is 38Mb of phone memory remaining and over 520Mb of memory card memory but when I try and open a file of 3mb I get insufficient memory to open adobe files message (it works with 600k pdf files).
Is there a size restriction with virtual memory.
I am not running any applications in the background and have gone back to the store and tried viewing the file on an N73 out of the box with the same results.

There is no virtual memory in the sense of being able to compensate lack of RAM with memory on a storage device (i.e., what is known as paging).
So, the N73 has a fixed amount of available RAM after boot (around 16MB, if my memory serves me right).
A long press of the menu key will list all the apps (tasks) that are currently consuming RAM. You can close all those and free up some (or reboot the phone and as the first thing launch the program you wish to run).
If that's not sufficient (still not enough memory), then there's nothing that you can do (unless opening only smaller files is enough).
Of course, Adobe could rewrite the app to consume less RAM (and make better use of "disk" space to compensate).

Please anybody specify the syntax to make adobe form not editable.

Thanks in advance.

SAP version 4.7 Email pdf file that is password protected.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement:
Email pdf file that is password protected.
Once the user receives the email, clicks on the attached pdf file,
     it should ask the password. Note that Password value should come from SAP.
What we have done is get the spool number and by using function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, it converts the spool document to pdf.
On this function module, there are no parameters to make pdf as password protected and
also include the password. This is the problem.
Question:
   (a) Is there a way to make pdf password protected that will be emailed?
        What function modules, etc to be used? (sample coding if available)
   (b) Somebody mentioned the that Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server should be installed together with SAP.
        If this is installed, how then would be the abap coding be in order to make the pdf password
            protected?
        How is the new policy server gonna be linked to SAP and how do the abap coding gonna be?
           (sample abap coding if available)
Thanks.
