Protect PDF from add and delete with rights to add comments

Hi,
Can anybody help me to protect my PDF (created Using Acrobat 7) without any rights to add or delete text, but I or others should have the rights to add sticky comments.
Thanks,
KDLS

Hi,
Thanks for your intention to give solution.
I got a solution, now I can add comments with protecting the PDF from adding and deleting the text.
Thanks,

I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator image does not appear properly.

I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator logo does not appear properly. The logo has a light blue color background with a black to white gradiant over it with a multiply designation set at 100%. I flattened the logo in illustrator before importing into InDesign. When the pdf is created, the blue background of the logo drops out and the only thing showing is the graduated screen of black. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Thanks for your reply Peter,
I'm on Mac OSX (10.5.8) using Acrobat 7 Professional and Acrobat
Reader 9 to view the pdf. I created it by exporting. Attached is a
screen capture of the letterhead. Since I posted, I sent a test pdf to
my partner's computer eventhough it didn't look right on my system and
she said it looked fine to her. I've restarted my computer and tried
again and still get the same results.
Thanks for your help,

Combining PDFs from MACs and PCs

Is there a way to effortless combine fairly large pdfs created on MACs and on PCs (usually containing images and tables)? We have had terrible problems with this, including image and caption distortion, etc. Sometimes, we are unable to create pdfs on a PC if we are sent a Word document created on a MAC.
Any advise could be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve

If I print to PDF, nothing at all happens.
If I try to do a Save As, I get the following message:
“The export failed. The document could not be prepared for exporting.”
If I right click on the file name and use Convert to Adobe PDF, it will start the process and then stop and return to the Word document.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

This may help, but I do note that the printer you state is NOT on the airprint list. You may need to go to the app store and see if Canon has an app that will facilitate printing on a non AirPrint device.

how do i protect pdf from being forwarded by email?@

There's nothing at all you can do to stop a PDF from being copied, emailed, put in a USB stick, uploaded to DropBox, or shared in any other way. DRM ($$$$) can make it so that unauthorized copies cannot be opened.

Restrict users from editing and deleting not owned items

Hello guys.
I'm trying to restrict users from editing and deleting items created by other users. I know, that it can be achieved by using SPList.WriteSecurity parameter, but if I change its value to 2 or 4 - nothing happens...
May be there are some list permissions that can override this security setting? I tried to combine permissions in different ways but users either cannot modify any items or can edit/delete all of them...
By the way, setting ReadSecurity=2 works as it should work regardless of user permissions...
Please help.

Hi,
I understand that you want to change the write security for the document library. You can try the PowerShell script below:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://serverURL
$list = $web.Lists["Document library"]
$list.ReadSecurity = 2
$list.WriteSecurity =2
$list.Update()
$web.Dispose()
This setting will not affect the site collection administrator, he will always be able to edit the documents. You need to sue another account to have a test. If this still doesn't work, I think you need to manually edit the permission for each documents.

Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

To do this on your phone, copy and paste them into your document (tap and hold on the photo to copy it). If you need to import it to your computer to do this, save it to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos you want to import, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then import them to your computer using your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). Alternatively, attach them 3-4 at a time emails and send them to yourself.

Launch PDF from HTML and execute search

Is it possible using JavaScript in an HTML doc to launch a PDF and execute a search.query with a passed-in search parameter? TIA

Hello, George, thanks for following up. I went into Advanced->Document Processing->Document JavaScripts and put the code at the top of the file outside of the dummy function declaration I had to insert to activate the edit button. It looks like this:
// Split the file path into an array
var aPath = this.path.split("/");
// Remove the last element, which is the file name
aPath.pop();
// Join the path elements back together and add the index file
var cIdxPath = aPath.join("/") + "/Support Documents/SupDocs.pdx";
search.query ("Enhanced Tactical Automated Security System (eTASS)", "Index", cIdxPath);
function Search()
It runs fine when I launch the PDF directly into the reader by double-clicking in file explorer in the folder above "Support Documents". When I load the PDF from an HTML file in the same folder, however, the script does not run. I set the reader preferences to force loading in the reader even when launched from a browser, and the script still will not execute. I tried adding a button to the PDF and attaching the search script to it. Again, it runs when launching directly but not from the HTML document. Otherwise, the PDF is empty, and I'm using a relative URL and JS to load it from the HTML doc, such as:
document.location = "mySearch.PDF"
or
window.open("mySearch.PDF", "searchwin");
Neither one works. This product has to run from a CD-ROM, so I haven't bothered to test it via http service. Any suggestions? Thanks again!

Can't generate PDF from xdp and XML

Hello,
I'm new to livecycle and flashbuilder.
I assigned as a task to send to a livecycle server a xdp template and a XML file with the data in order to create the pdf.
So far, I created a class with two methods that returns as a BLOB the strings of a xdp template and the XML data to populate the template.
On the main application I'm calling the generatePDFOutput method from the OutputService and as far as I know I'm supposed to get a Blob which I can manipulate to save it as a PDF.
What could be my error? or how should I approach this problem? I came here since I can't find some document that shows how to create pdf from a flex app using livecycle...

How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions

I can't print to PDF from AutoCAD and can't find a phone number to call ADOBE for support. Very frustrated, please help.

Trying to plot to PDF from AutoCAD. Never usually have issues doing so, a few months ago it stopped working suddenly with a warning message that said Adobe PDF was not activated. I didn't know what to do so uninstalled and reinstalled it which fixed the problem. Only now it started happening again.... There must be an easier fix?
Thanks for your help!

Thank you for writing to me!
It occurs when I try to print to Adobe PDF from either AutoCAD or Revit (both autodesk products). My Adobe PDF function seems to be working for other applications - for ex. if I save from Illustrator to PDF, Word to PDF, etc. From this description it sounds as if it's more of a problem with my Autodesk products, but the odd thing is that until recently I was able to print to PDF from both of them! This happened to me once before and I uninstalled and reinstalled ADOBE but I thought there must be a better way of dealing with it. Is the number of times you install the ADOBE CS6 limited? I worry that uninstalling/reinstalling it uses up some of my uses - even though it's on the same laptop.
The error message I get is this:

Password protected PDFs from Acrobat XI cannot be opened in DC when the password contains a hyphen

I have documents created in Acrobat XI that are protected with an Open Password.
The password contains a hyphen "-".
They open fine in Acrobat XI, but Acrobat DC refuses to open them: "The password is incorrect. Please make sure etc..."
Documents created in Acrobat DC that are protected with passwords that contain a hyphen do not have this problem.
I am working with the latest Mac OSX 10.10.3
Luckily I still have Acrobat XI installed, but it is a problem for those with the new Acrobat DC and the new Reader.
Ton

AFAIK there were no code changes in this area between XI and DC, Are you doing all your processing on the same platform (Mac) or does the problem manifest when you move encrypted PDF between Mac and Windows. As I recall the problem that I was talking about manifest when encrypted PDFs were moved between platforms. If you do move your PDFs between platforms, then which Acrobat version do you use on which platform? Is it Acrobat DC on both Mac and Windows? On which platform/Acrobat version do you encrypt and on which platform/Acrobat version you try to open?

Protecting PDFs from Unlicensed Sharing

Hi all,
I'm aware Acrobat has many features around DRM and protecting documents from unlicensed usage. However, I want to know how scalable this is...for instance, if I'm selling training materials in PDF format, and someone purchases the materials to use for "20 users", are Acrobat's features alone sufficient to prevent this person from giving the materials to 30 users?
Any thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Adam

Acrobat doesn't have that type of ability at all. The best you can do is to explore the security settings available under File>Properties>Security. Even then keep in mind that it's way easy to get around Adobe security.
What you need is a server side DRM solution.

How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.
