Preview issue working with a locked PDF file

I am able to open and view a locked PDF file using the Preview application. Unfortunately, searching does not work within the locked PDF. Opening this locked PDF in Adobe reader does allow searching to work.
Does anyone know why Preview cannot search a locked PDF even though it does appear to open successfully?

Hi RichGory & welcome to the forums.
Preview with Snow Leopard is very different.
If searching is critical to your workflow, best to move to Acrobat.

  • Can I create a new document with a locked PDF file, add new pages, and lock it all again?

    I published a PDF document ten years ago and now want to add Creative Commons licensing language to the copyright page.  But I forgot the password!  I gather from the Forum that there is no way to recover the password.  However, I wonder if I can take the locked PDF file, create a new document (adding a new page for the licensing information), then lock the whole thing up again.  Will this work?  Thanks for your help!                                                                               

    To create an unprotected file you would need the password.

  • ADE Not Compatible With Password Protected PDF Files

    The version of ADE I downloaded will not work with password protected PDF files.  What do I do?
    Thanks.

    ADE does not (yet) support files that use the Password Security handler, so you will want to use a different PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader.

  • Problem with saving a pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21).

    Need advice on a saving file issue. I'm having problem with saving a .pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21). This is new as this error message just recently started to pop-up.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Preview asking for user password on PDF file.  There is no password.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Preview asking for user password on PDF file.  There is no password.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    OK. Open your PDF with Preview and at the top of the window (near the file's title) you will see Locked in grey.
    Click on it and in the menu that appears click Unlock.
    It looks like this in OS 10.7.3 :
    For information you can view the permissions of a PDF file in Preview by choosing in the menu bar Tools > Inspector, and then click Encryption (the lock).
    Hope this will help.

  • Does Creative Cloud work with InDesign and linked files?

    Does Creative Cloud work with InDesign and linked files?

    This will work for online storage.
    The preview you will see on the website but will be what you see on your desktop if the the folder was missing. If you want someone else to be able to see a preview online to give comment feedback you could export out a PDF file of the work-in-progress and upload it.
    If you just want to work on the project at different locations it might be easier to zip up everything into a single file and upload it. Then download it onto the computer where you want to work and unzip it.

  • Cant work with 32 bit image files?

    Hi there, I am unable to work with 32 bit image files on our cs6 ? I am fallowing a tutorial and a person creates a new file with 32 bit channel selected from dropdown menu, and starts painting on it he is using CS5. When I create a 32 bit file and select the brush tool, it comes on with circle and cross line and error comes up saying that the brush tool is not supported with 32 bit image files, in fact, I cant use any tools on the 32 bit images, I can't even create a new layer on the file. There is one thing I can do, which is a great feature, I can save it! But it's not much of a use now is it? If the image is plane white sheet. Is this a special feature that you need to purchase seperetly? Could you please advise. Regards

    Hello again,
    so resetting the preference file makes no difference to the problem.
    I checked 6 of our macs. 3 of the macs can create the 32 bit images and allow paint and other tools with no problem. Jet the other 3 macs have the same problem as I have. I checked my 2008 macbook which has CS5, and it can also edit 32 bit files. Checked my PC yesterdey which has CS6 installed, can't work with 32 bit image files.
    I find this very odd, some work and some don't. Any suggestions would be great. Please also find a screenshot of the mac with the issue.
    Kind regards,

  • How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

    How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

    You need to connect the ipad to the computer and open itunes.
    Open the ipad and go into settings, icloud. Tap on "Documents and Data" and turn that on to sync to icloud.
    Now go back into itunes and it should pick up your ipad already and tap on the ipad connection. There will pop up some taps on the center screen for sync options. Go thru each one (summary, info, apps, music, tv shows, podcasts, itunesU, books and photos).....you want to click on "Books".
    To the left click the arrow next to the ipad under Devices.
    The arrow will point down and open the sub menu, click on the "Books" sub menu here. You will see in the center window current books, PDF currently on the ipad.
    Next go to the top and click on "File"  (file, edit, view, controls, store, advanced, help) and click on "add folder to library"...... it will bring up your computer file system in a seperate window. File the folder your looking for and add it. This should get the folder set up to sync onto ipad thru itunes.
    For additional ease in doing things on the middle window of itunes click back on summary, scroll a bit and you will see "Backup", click on "Backup to icloud". Then under "Options", check "Sync with this ipad over WiFi".
    This will allow you to wirelessly sync your itunes and your ipad without having the ipad connected to the computer with a cable. You just have to be on the same wireless network.
    If in itunes you add something like a pdf or photo, when your on your ipad open the Ibooks or Iphoto app and it wull update the file system to match your itunes account. The sync with with anything you do in itunes and it works the other way around also. If you save files, photos, books on the ipad, using the ipad (app store purchases, games, books)....the ipad will update to itunes next time your on the same network.
    FYI - both the ipad and the computer have to be on.
    Itunes updates (changes you make thru itunes), does not need itunes to be open for update content to update to the ipad. This is because it updates to the cloud.
    Updates from the ipad to itunes will need itunes open on the computer. So it can sync with the cloud info.

    How can I get a sim card for Japan and will it work with my locked Iphone 6

    You cannot use a SIM card on a carrier locaked phone, other than a sim from the carrier the phone is locked to. You must first get the carrier it is locked to, to unlock your phone. Apple does not unlock phones.

  • Batch lock PDF files

    We mostly have Acrobat 9 or X standard licenses and few Pro 9.  What I'm looking for is the ability to batch lock PDF files before we post them to consultants or partners.                   
    I know you can lock each PDF via Standard.  Pro gives you the ability to batch do it but it makes no sense to upgrade 40 licenses just for that feature.  Last resort option would be to create multipage PDFs and lock that vs. the individual but I'd like the ability to do the individual.
    The files are being locked down to print at 150dpi only.  That way the PDF's can't be imported into Illustrator and saved out to a CAD file.

    Hello
    We look exactly for the same. A Batch Script to have multiple files merged in one PDF. Can you please also send me a PM for further Information?
    Thanks a lot
    regards

  • Work with ADF Library jar file

    Hi
    My English isn't very good
    I use jdeveloper11.1.1.3.0
    I want to work with ADF Library jar file.
    I created two generic application. In each application I have a View Obj(one for employees table and one for department table ) and added them to App Module,
    then I made a ADF Library jar file for each application: adflib_emp, adflib_dep
    Then I created two separated application and in each application I created a BTF .
    In emp_TF1 I added adflib_emp jar file to application and in dep_TF2 I added adflib_dep jar file to application.
    These two applications work well. Then I created ADF Library jar file for each of these applications named: adflib_TF_1 and adflib_TF_2
    Finally I designed a main page to use these two jar file(adflib_TF_1 , adflib_TF_2). I added thses two jar file to application and then I dragged and dropped each TF to main page as a region:
    <af:panelSplitter id="ps1" splitterPosition="500">
    <f:facet name="first">
    <af:region value="#{bindings.emp_TF1.regionModel}" id="r1"/>
    </f:facet>
    <f:facet name="second">
    <af:region value="#{bindings.dep_TF2.regionModel}" id="r2"/>
    </f:facet>
    </af:panelSplitter>
    When I run main application both TF show employees table, but one TF should shows department table and the other one should shows employees table.
    I read oracle document and created my application on base of it. But I don't know why this happen and how to solve it?

    Hi,
    most likely the names of the application modules are not different but the same, which means you have a naming problem. Application modules (if they should be used as is) must have a unique name
