Protecting/Locking Documents

Is there perhaps a way to password protect a document from prying eyes? Or even protecting the folder the document is in even? Any help would be hot.

Why not take care of what we are urged to do ?

  • Password protected Numbers document

    Hi,
    I created a password protected Numbers document, off course I have forgotten the password to it.
    Is there any way to recover the contents of this document? (3rd party app?)
    I've read that Numbers doesn't encrypte the files so I'm guessing there must be a way.
    Regards
    Andries

    Who said that Numbers doesn't encrypt the file?
    Some of us wrote that we don't know the level of protection offered by the encryption scheme, no less, no more.
    If I compare the Index.xml.gzip of a normally saved document and he one available in a protected one, the contents are completely differents (even the size changes).
    If you buy a security lock for your house's door, I assume that you will take care of it.
    It's the same with the keyword sed to encrypt a document.
    Numbers is fair enough to give you the indice which you where urged to enter when you defined the password.
    It you can't remember te code with this indice, it woul de useful to forger not only the passwords but also, the protection feature.

  • Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

    Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
    know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
    Any suggestion grateful received.

    No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
    However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

    This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
    Hope this helps...

  • Error occur while protecting the document using RMS sharing application

    The set-up in which the error occurs has the following details,
    Server name :    hcdc1.ad.com
    RMS SCP :            adrms.ad.com
    http:// adrms.ad.com /_wmcs/licensing/license.asmx

    Unable to protect the document and error as "An internall error occured error code 0X8007054F" 

    Hi,
    What Office Suite version you use? If Office 2010, I suggest you uninstall RMS Sharing App and install it once again using following command: 
    setup.exe /s /configureO2010Admin
    After that, run one of the following commands, depending on you operating system:
    For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, 64-bit: x64\aadrmprep.exe /configureO2010  ; 32-bit: X86\aadrmprep.exe /configureO2010
    For Windows 7, 64-bit: x64\win7\aadrmpep.exe /configureO2010

  • In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. How I can disable it?

    Hello, In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. All is locked. How I can disable it?

    Do you mean the check box isn't enabled?
    Or you remove the check but it doesn't "stick"?
    Or you remove the box but documents are stil getting locked?
    That setting doesn't apply to other things in System Preferences, just apps that support AutoSave and Versions.  If you're having a problem with System Prefs, please clarify exactly what.

  • Protect a document while allowing insertion of data in a table and points on a chart.

    I have created a Word document that includes a table and a chart.  Can I protect the document but allow entry of data into the table and allow points to be placed on the chart using Adobe?

    Hi brianh89327665,
    While you can apply a permissions password to a PDF to prevent things such as printing and changing the document, you can't apply it selectively to parts of the PDF.

  • I cannot open password protected PDF document with attachments with Adobe Reader on OS X. Crashes.

    I cannot open password protected PDF document having attachments on my OS X (v 10.8.4) with Adobe Reader X nor XI. The reader crashes. The same document using the same password opens fine on the laptop and Windows systems wheni it is fetched from a secure mail server. Why?

    Moved to Adobe Reader

    Is there a way to password protect a document in the app Pages?

  • Is there a way to password protect iCloud documents?

    Is There a way to password protect iCloud documents on my Mac and on iPad?

    Roger not so fast. Check this out: I own a studio with about 8 staff ranging from accounts, editors, creative directors and client services. Sometimes, there's even an intern or an outside contractor present for a period of time. So far we use pages and numbers to handle all the scripts, schedules, shot lists, etc and I'd like to also store some of the admin contents (again, files generated in pages, begging for iCloud), proposals, budgets... They should at the very least, let you password protect a folder.
    It's so surprising that Apple doesn't simply extend their now FANTASTIC App/iCloud/Device integration ever so slightly in the direction of the SMALL PRODUCTION HOUSE. I have thouroughly investigated everything from Studiometry to Rule to Evernote. Bloat. Bloat. And more bloat!
    Apple while you're at it, offer domain name resolution so we can actually use the email service. Right now half my setup is tangled up with google apps and gmail. I shudder at the thought.
    Ps I'd have separate apple accounts for each employee but nothing beats the single integration of iCal and contacts etc.

  • Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

    Dear all,
    Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
    It is quite disappointing with this phone !

    hi mateys,
    you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

  • Password protecting a document

    How can I password protect a document in Pages so that only I can access it when I provide my password? Thanks!

    p,
    In iWork 09, we can apply a password in the Document Inspector, Document Tab. In iWork 08, we use Disk Utility.app to create a secure folder to save our work in. So, the file itself isn't protected, but access to the folder it is stored in is very secure.
    To make a secure folder, start Disk Utility and click on New Image on the Tool Bar. Name the folder, select a Volume Size that's larger than you might ever need, leave the Volume Format on the default, set the Encryption to the lower number of bits (recommended), Single Partition, Image Format > Sparse Disk Image.
    Don't forget your password because the encryption is such that you'll never crack it and your work will be lost with the password. If you use a secure User Account password to access your account on the computer, you can have Keychain remember your disk image password for convenience. If you carry your work around on a flash drive, you won't have to worry about anyone reading it if you lose the drive.

  • Password protecting scanned documents

    I can password protect pdf files, but when I scan a document, it won't allow me to password protect it. When I do "Save as" it doesn't give me security options. When I "print as pdf" it will give me security options but once I put in the password and try to save it, it says it doesn't save in print mode. I think my scanner may be scanning into Adobe Reader? What do I need to do to password protect these documents?

    Not impossible at all because it already had the password!
    The point is that some apps can set a password. We can't look inside your computer and tell you what apps you have, and which ones you were using to make particular PDF files.
    There are two different ways to have a password on a PDF.
    1. At the time it is made. Some apps offer this choice. Adobe Reader does not make new PDF files, only reads ones you made before so this does not apply.
    2. Later. Adobe Reader can read the file BUT NOT SET A PASSWORD. The Adobe Mac app that does this is called "Adobe Acrobat Pro XI".

  • Password protecting certain documents

    I have several documents I would like to password protect individually. Is this possible and if so, how?

    MS Office has it's own password protection built in.
    You set it through the Options button in the Save As dialog (v.X)
    It may be a different place if you are using a different version of Office, but you should be able to find it by looking in the Help.
    Other than that, I would second the suggestion to use a secure Disk Image.
    Open up /Applications/Utilities/DiskUtility
    In the help search for the page titled 'Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image'
