Providing security to pdf web page.

How would I provide security to a web page that is a pdf file? Basically I want the user to be able to access the file only if they are logged in. I do not want them to be able to put the .pdf webpage in their favorites and access it without logging in.
Thanks

Password protect the pdf?

  • Two finger "back" of "forward" swipe in Safari won't work on PDF web pages.

    This is a problem that carries forward from OSX 10.6 when using the swipe gesture on the magic mouse for browsing "back" and "forward" in Safari. It now continues with the mouse and on the track pad in 10.7.  When viewing PDF web pages the 'back" and "forward" swipe gestures work only sometimes, and when they do work, it requires a much faster swipe.  There are no issues associated with clicking on the back and forward buttons at the top left corner of Safari, so this appear to be isolated to gestures.  Is there any solution to correct this inconsistency?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
    It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
    The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

  • Can't print pdf web pages

    using OS 10.4.11, safari 3.1.1, and adobe professional 7.0, I find that although
    I can print most web pages, I can't print a pdf web page.
    any thoughts ?

    where do you make that selection?
    Not sure where in Acrobat Professional, but in the free Acrobat Reader, it's in Acrobat Reader menu > Preferences > (category) Internet > "Display PDF in browser using:" - uncheck the box and that should cause Safari to use it's own PDF display engine (shared with Preview).
    how do I make Safari show scroll command along page side - right now I seem to have lost ability to scroll up and down web page ?
    That's a puzzler - the vertical/horizontal scroll bars should always be there if the page is longer/wider than the current size of the display window... Might try posting that one in the Safari for Mac forum.
    Hope this helps...

  • On my ipad, is it possible to use stylus or fingers to copy and paste a specific area on a document, PDF., web page, etc... It would be great to pull specific areas out of a PDF. And paste into a note app I'm thinking of downloading.  Thank you.

    On my ipad, is it possible to use a stylus or fingers to draw out a specific area to copy and paste;  I'm looking to copy from a word document, PDF., web page, etc... It would be great to pull specific areas out of a PDF. And paste into a note app I'm thinking of downloading.  Thank you.

    Yes. I do it using Adobe Reader for PDF files, Pages for Word files, I can copy from Safari or iCab Mobile and paste into another app. I use my finger even though I do have a stylus. I rarely use my stylus anymore, but yes it's possible.

  • Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in?

    Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.

    The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
    Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
    Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
    FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
    "Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
    "Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
    They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
    Thanks for the help.

  • Pdf  WEB PAGES  -  MISSING SNAPSHOT TOOL (and others)

    I recently installed Adobe reader 9 and this has been a severely retrograde move. My university course makes ALL our lecture notes and documents avaialble OVER OUR INTRANET (i.e. as WEB PAGES) as pdf documents - we used to be able to simply click on the link and view them in a webpage, then use the Adobe snapshot tool whenever necessary to extract pictures or text from the notes (which often have ENORMOUS variations in font size and picture resolution WITHIN the ONE DOCUMENT) and paste them into a temporary document in order to blow them up and print them out so we can SEE them. They also often needed to be ROTATED before they could be printed out.
    Now however, the Adobe reader 9, when we view these documents IN A WEB PAGE, has NO tools that allow us to do these VERY IMPORTANT MEASURES to make our lecture notes READABLE. All it allows us to do is to print it as it is!
    In an incredibly demanding and intensive course, we now have to WASTE TIME we can ILL AFFORD by saving the document (which we DON'T WANT or NEED TO SAVE) and THEN OPEN it, use the tools which suddenly appear in Adobe reader 9 when opening a saved document, do what we need to do to print out something readable, then remember to delete what we've saved.
    This we have to do OVER and OVER AGAIN - it is UNELIEVABLY INCONSIDERATE and ANNOYING.
    We are already under HUGE pressure in our course, and students in the REAL WORLD do NOT have rich American mummies and daddies who pay all our expenses - we CANT AFFORD to buy every new expensive Adobe program just because our university decides to use pdf for everything.
    If anyone has information that there IS a way to do snapshots, rotation etc on a pdf document VIEWED IN A WEB PAGE, could you please advise us here? Thankyou!

    Thnakyou for your reply - there's definitley no way the uni will change their standard format, and it's really not their fault anyway. I wanted to re-load Adobe 7 but can't find it anywhere on the Adobe website, and do not want to risk loading it from elsewhere!

  • Save as pdf web page

    I am running Win 7 64bit with Adobe XI with IE 11. My convert web page to PDF won't save the file as a pdf but rather it saves it as a ".com" file name extension and the file type is marked "MS Dos Application" in Explorer. 
    I just installed this two months ago and have repaired and reinstalled the software repeatedly without repairing the problem.

    There is never a need to type the file name because it's done automatically as the file names takes on the title of the news article.  Under the file name is a toggle for Save as Adobe PDF, which is by default saving as pdf.    FYI, If I print the web page and then choose Adobe, the web page prints but the layout isn't as good as printing the web page and I have to write in the file name using this option.
    Usually the Convert webpage to pdf works and works very well but I have had this problem in the past with other versions. It's a bug I believe.
    Maybe I will try repair a few more times.

  • I have an issue with saving some pdf web pages. (Am I in the right forum?)

    I cannot save my account statement from my bank's web site using my home laptop. The icon appears when I roll over it but it won't save when I click on it. Right click "save as" won't work either.  I can save it using my work laptop. I can save other pdf's on my home laptop with no issues at all. It's driving me mad. Help please

    Hi,
    I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
    I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
    iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly  
    These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
    Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
    Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
    I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
    Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

  • Secure startup home web page not loading in FF 17.0.1

    Have https://www.google.com/ set as home page.
    What I get: Go to a website
    What I do: click Bookmarks>Google url link
    Result: https://www.google.com
    Go to a website does result in Google home page loading, but it appears to be loaded locally, not via an internet connection. Have Flagfox installed as an add-on, but this does not load until I do step 2, and only then is any activity seen in the lower left hand corner of the browser as the Google page loads.
    Odd thing is, without an active internet connection, FF reports page not found error and Google is not displayed.
    Note that step 3 is missing a backslash at the end of the url, even tho it is set and entered properly in Options for General>Startup. ???
    A https connection should also be green if valid, and I am not seeing that on most https sites. GRC.com does show this green color, but that is the only one that seems to work for me. Clicking the lock icon does give me vendor ownership information; the others state 'unknown'. Example: "You are connected to mozilla.org which is run by (unknown) Verified by GeoTrust, Inc. Your connection to this website is encrypted to prevent eavesdropping.

    You only see a green color in the Site Identity Button if websites use an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate and not if a Domain Validation (DV) SSL Certificate is used like this SUMO forum site is using.

    Firefox may be loading pages from the Firefox browsing cache if they aren't loaded from the internet.<br />
    You may also have other software or a router that caches some pages.
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Did you check that your security software isn't blocking the connection?
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • How to adjust margins to print with Adobe Acrobat pdf web page?

  • "Preview in Firefox" for pdf web pages but not for file links ?

    Hi,
    I like the preview pdf in Firefox feature but I seem to be having a bit of a problem with it.
    In options>applications I have the pdf entry set to preview in Firefox and when I click a link to pdf webpages they load in Firefox just fine.
    The problem seems to be with download links to pdf files. When I click a link to a pdf file the only options are to save the file, open with my pdf viewer (Foxit Reader) or other. Preview with Firefox is not an option any more.
    I've been trying everything to get that option back.
    I know I have seen it there before but I've no idea how it disappeared.
    Any suggestions?

    The build-in PDF Viewer only works for files that are send as application/pdf and not for other MIME types.<br />
    So it won't work for links that open a download dialog and you would need an extension to open such a file as application/pdf.

  • When I try to open a pdf billing statement it opens a blank web page and does not download the pdf or open its reader. Why not?

    I click on a link to download last months billing statement for say my phone provider. A new web page opens that is blank. The pdf file that is supposed to download and open up in Adobe or other PDF reader does not show up or open up.

    You can open with any of the following (if they are installed on your ipad) by tapping on the PDF file
    1. iBooks
    2. Adobe Reader
    3. GoodReader
    4. Quickoffice
    5. And many more

  • Firefox is now hard to load, and no matter what I click on for a web page, or even my mail I get the connection was reset and I have to hit the try again button 5 - 6 times usually to get the page to load.

    I updated internet explorer also changing my server provider so that my web page contact emails would go thru. I have quest broadband and could not use my yahoo accounts as they are not compatible, had me open a q.com email will transfer to outlook for my web pages. That all works, but now firefox is acting up.

    Many business users chose to use the downgrade option to XP until Windows 7 had been out awhile longer ,which may be what happened on your machine. Where I work, most all of the machines still run XP.
    Recovery Disks contain the OS and all drivers/software for a specific model. A plain Windows disk contains just the OS.Not sure which you have, but a true Recovery Disk set will not work on any machine.
    It really sounds like you have a Windows Repair disk which requires a backup image to repair an installation.Could you confirm what exact disk you have?

  • Embedding Crystal Reports with parameters in web page

    Hi,
    I have created a sample report file and configured it with a parameter field. On embedding this report file in the web page, as expected I am prompted to enter value for the parameter. After entering value and clicking OK, CrystalReportViewerServlet delegates the call to the custom JDBC connector implementation which is the data provider. However, the web page doesnu2019t show the retrieved resultset but shows a page with some text like this:
    {"update":{"children":[{"children":[
    {"args":{"curPage":1,"numPages":"1"},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSelectPageControl"},{"args":{"searchText":""},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSearchTextControl"}
    ],"cons":"bobj.crv.newToolbar"},{"args":{"displayDrilldownTab":true,"initTabIdx":0},"children":[{"args":{"isMainReport":true,"label":"Main Report","viewStateId":"1"},"children":[{"args":{"content":"\r\n 
    On debugging I could see, that the parameter value from the prompt is correctly passed from the CrystalReportViewerServlet to the custom Connector (i.e., the sql query is updated with the parameter value) and the connector fetches the data also.
    I also tried embedding another .rpt file with few parameter fields configured (where user input values are just passed to the details section of the report for display). However on running this web page also I get the same error.
    Report files with no parameter fields configured are working fine when embedded in web page.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ria

    I would take a look at running our simple [sample application |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/307224d2-3d11-2c10-fe86-d87bab901bee&overridelayout=true]that views reports to see if you have the issue there.
