Protecting document

I am trying to have my form open word, fill in bookmarks, and then protect the document as a fillable form for the remaining bookmarks. My code for protecting the document looks like this so far:
lh_args:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.INVOKE(lh_document,'Protect',lh_args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(lh_args);
Got any suggestions as to how to make this work and how to protect the word document as a fillable form. In VB I would do something like:
ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:="Password"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, I have the same problem, i can't translate this macro into client_ole2:
ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="", NoReset:=False, Type:= _
wdAllowOnlyReading, UseIRM:=False, EnforceStyleLock:=False
Please... help me...

  • Can't password protect documents

    A year ago I bought a  license for Adobe Acrobat Standard which included access to certain features including the ability to password protect documents.  Suddenly it has stopped working.  I have already re-downloaded my product version and that has not solved the problem and can find nothing online to help.  Any suggestions or solutions will be appreciated.

  • How do I use a protected document in Adobe Reader?

    I am trying to use a document that requires a user name and password in Adobe Reader on my tablet. The problem is that I have tried everything and nothing I do will allow me to enter this information. It says editing is not allowed with this protected document, but it is set up to allow editing so I can put in the info required to unlock the contents. I have attempted to search your database and all the answers I have tried have not worked. Please help! I am at a loss and I need this document unlocked. Thank you!

    Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, etc.) do not support commenting or form filling with secured (hence, encrypted) PDF documents.
    Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer to fill in the secured PDF form.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • I recently udpated to Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and now I can not open signature protected documents.  ?Porque?  What is the fix?

    @

    Pasting all the conversation so that others can get help from the discussion.
    Hi David,
    Can you please try disabling protected mode and see if you are able to open these files.
    To disable protected mode:
    Select Edit menu -> Preferences -> Ubcheck Enable Protected Mode at startup and restart Adobe Reader.
    Note:
    "Purpose of Reader XI Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.”
    Please turn back on the protected mode checkup after this testing.
    This seems to be a fix!  Thank you for your help.  Now comes the tricky part.    I have to deploy this as a package across a gov. network using SCCM.  How do I get this to all the users with "enable protected mode..." unchecked.  I can't give them something that does not work out of the box.
    Hi David,
    It is not advisable to turn off protected mode as Purpose of Reader XI Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.
    Please let me know few details so that I can reproduce the issue at my end.
    1) Will it be possible for you to send any test file in which the issue is reproducible.
    2) Can you please check where the certificate (from which the PDF is signed) is stored. (Is it stored at Trusted Root Certificate Authorities or some other store?)
    3) Do you use any other tool other than Adobe Reader plugin to digitally sign/ open a PDF ? (Is any tool other than Adobe Reader is involved?)
    Thanks,
    Shakti K
    Hi David,
    Please do the below test to see if the issue occurs due to signatures applied to the PDF document.
    1) Launch Reader go to Edit -> Preferences -> Security (Enhanced) and check "Enable Protected Mode at startup" and clock OK.
    2) Goto Edit -> Preferences -> Signatures and select Verification . Uncheck "verify signatures when the document is opened." and click OK.
    3) Restart Adobe Reader
    4) Now open the digitally signed protected PDF file in which the issue was observed.
    Please let mw know the observation.
    Thanks,
    Shakti K
    It has nothing to do with the signatures applied.  Any document with a
    signature block, even blank documents, will not open unless the "enable
    protected documents at start up" is unchecked.  It is the same across the
    board for all documents weather signed or unsigned with a signature block.  I
    have it working on my machine, I just need to figure out how to install over
    the  network with the block unchecked during installation.
    1.  Attached form
    2.  I am not sure where reader pulls the cert from.  They are all in a trusted
    root CA because all certs are miiitary
    3.  Other tools used
    ActivClient CAC x64  (6.2)
    e-Sign Desktop 6.6
    Thanks again for the support
    Thanks a lot for all the information.
    A doubt : If the document is not signed (like you mentioned unsigned documents also face the same issue) then how exactly the document is protected. Is it protected using any certificate?
    I cannot find any attached PDF form . Please resend it again.
    I am unable to reproduce the error now.  Even with the protected block check.
    Im not sure if there was a Group Policy change that enabled this.  As of now,
    it looks like the issue has been resolved.  I appreciate all the help.

    Hi noswam123,
    If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.

  • How do I unlock a protected document?

    how do I unlock a protected document?

    Usual problem is capitalisation.
    Did you accidentally have the caps lock down?
    Another one is the stupid autocorrection in OS X it can interfere with lots of things including CAPTCHA passwords in browsers.

  • How to define a Rights Management process "Protect Document" with an watched folder?

    Hello.
    I try to build a process in Workbench 11.0, that uses the Protect Document operation of Rights Management.
    The process should use a watched folder as start point.
    My problem is, how to fill the operations parameters (Input Doc, Document name, Policy set name, Policy name, ...)
    Jürgen

    First -- by default iTunes stores its Library in "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl", and its Music in "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\".
    Make sure you have a "iTunes Library.itl" after the restore -- if not, and your backup software supports it, try an older version of the file. If your backup software only keeps the last version of the file -- well, then you are SOL, and you will have to re-add the files to the Library. You will also have to rebuild your playlists, ratings, etc.
    Since you have "very few files" in the iTunes Music directory -- either you weren't storing your music there, or your backup didn't work. Are you sure you weren't using a non-default location for your music files?
    If you had a hardware problem then it is likely that your backup stopped working properly at some point. This is why you need a rotating backup scheme and periodic archiving of files to non-writeable media (If you have the time/money)

  • Can I allow commenting on a password-protected document?

    I'd like to publish a book online and so want to at least password-protect it.    From what I have read, this precludes "Enable For Commenting".
    Is there a way to publish a password-protected document but have the users still be allowed to attach comments of their own (for their own use) ?
    Thanks,
    -Ed

    As soon as I enable commenting, the "encrypt with password" option is greyed-out so I cannot perform that action any more. Is there another way to encrypt it once comments have been anabled?
    I am using Acrobat Pro Version 9.2.0 on a Windows 7 machine.   I open a PDF with it, selectComments > Enable for COMmenting and Analisys.    Then Advanced > Security > Encrypt With Password is greyed out (was not prior to enable comments).

  • Adobe Reader not recognizing the (correct) password on a password protected document

    I have been opening password protected documents with Adobe Reader for months. My client just changed the password, and now, using the correct new password (I'm positive it's the correct password because I can open it on other computers, and no, my caps lock isn't on, and I've tried numerous times so it's not that I'm typing it incorrectly), Adobe is saying that the password is incorrect. Any ideas? I was thinking perhaps because I am on a Mac, or maybe because I have Adobe Reader and not the full version it isn't working... any help much appreciated!

    Reader should be fine. you don't need to full version to open password protected documents and a Mac doesn't make any difference either.
    Fist thing to be sure of is that it's actually Reader opening the docs and not Mac Preview (or something else).
    If it is, maybe try having them assign a different password. A more simplistic one just to see if you can open it.

  • No real offline reading of irm-protected documents possible?

    we are irm-protecting documents with some policy and then downloading.
    Adobe Reader always asks for (X509) credentials upon opening the document.
    This would be fine for first-time-usage - but not for subsequent usage.
    When saving the file locally and opening it an second time,
    X509 credentials are asked again and an network-connection to the
    LCRM-server is made again.
    The irm-user accepted the possibility to use Offline-access upon
    first irm-usage.
    What server-configuration parameters could lead to this effect?
    What missing fields in the policy could be the reason?
    Dilettanto

    Steve,
    yes, we have [only!] the Rights Management "Certificate Authentication" functionality enabled.
    And it is correctly configured and works just perfect.
    But when applying offline policies to users, and the users already have synched their current
    licenses, opening an offline-document a second time always asks for certificate authentication.
    We would like to kepp our users using ONLY certificates but still allowing them
    to use offline.
    Only when unplugging the physical network-cable (and/or turning off WIFI), Adobe Reader
    opens the offline documents without bothering the users.
    Is there an nearby solution for this behaviour?

    Dilettanto

  • Password protecting documents?

    Note: If this is in the wrong section I do apologise, I wasn't sure where to put it so opted to take it to the hardware section.
    In a nutshell, is there a way to password protect documents or folders? I'm working on an iMac G4 and I was wondering if there was some way to do this or whether it was possible at all.
    Thanks!

    Hello Lynn-Marie:
    There is freeware/shareware that will protect files/documents. Try a Google search and see what appears.
    The only program I ever used was "secret folder" from Apimac:

  • Is it possible to protect documents with 2008 \ 2012 R2 AD RMS on Workgroup Machines \ another domain machines?

    Hi Experts,
    I have scenario where I have TWO 2008 R2 AD forests with cross forest trust and also I have some workgroup Win7 Machines.
    I wanted to deploy AD RMS in any one forest (Say Forest A), as forced by customer
    Is it possible that My forest B users can protect documents with AD RMS in Forest (A)
    OR
    Is it possible that my workgroup computers can protect documents with AD RMS of Forest A? Can I use user credentials from forest A to protect documents on workgroup computer
    OR
    Lets take a scenario:
    I create user in forest A with addition of email address of forest B user
    I share this ID to respective forest B user, forest B user logged on to forest B computer
    Now can forest B computers can protect documents with AD RMS from forest A by entering forest A user id \ password when RMS prompts for authentication?
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks Best Regards Mahesh

    Can anybody shade some light on this please?
    Thanks Best Regards Mahesh

  • How to convert a protected document into a PDF?

    Hello,
    I need to develop a plugin that needs to convert a protected document in office format into a pdf. I looked into the sdk and found the method AVConversionConvertToPDFWithHandler (). But can this method also apply the digital rigths of the protected document to the newly created pdf?
    Is there any other way to convert a protected document into a pdf and at the same time apply the rights to the pdf? I don't want to use Adobe LiveCycle for digital rights management.
    What are the requirements to develop a DRM plugin for acrobat?
    Please Help!
    Thanks in advance!

    The AVConversion APIs will use Office itself to perform the conversion (well, the rendering part).   I would ASSUME that when Office opens the document, it will ask for any necessary passwords or other information to determine if the user has the rights to view and/or process the content of the document.  If they do, then the conversion will succeed otherwise it will fail.   The PDF will not have any DRM applied to it, since we don't know anything about the Office DRM options.
    If you wish to apply DRM to the PDF, you will need to do that yourself or using tools such as LiveCycle Rights Management.

  • How to see total number of protected documents by ADRMS?

    Hello,
    I am planning to decommission the on premises ADRMS cluster completely and enable 365 based RMS (since
    migration is not possible),
    Is their a way for me to see the total number of protected documents by ADRMS.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hold off on that. Migration is just around the corner.
    There is not a good way to identify how many documents are protected since you can do offline publishing (server contact is not required)
