Remove encryption or protection for many PDFs in Action Wizard?

Hello,
I can remove encryption manually for each PDF file, but I have hundreds of files so it is impossible to do it manually.
From what I know, in Action Wizard, I can only add encryption for many files, there seems to be no 'encryption remove' function in Action Wizard for me to apply to many files.
So, my question is, how do I remove encryption for many PDF files at once without having to so manually?
Thank you.

Sir, what you said makes perfect sense but it may work only in case the files are protected with a password.
This case seems different.
I remove the protection manually by choosing Protection --> Encrypt --> Remove.
No password whatsoever.
After that, I am able to Edit Object, Edit Document Text, Add or Edit Text Box.
To make sure I followed your steps correctly, this is how I did it:

Third party encryption plug-in for a pdf form.

I don't know that is a huge number of alternatives for Fractal plugins. You'll no doubt come across links for Fractalius and Genuine Fractals, but the first produces interesting strand like effects (after a very long wait) and the second is an image resize plugine which now belongs to On One, and is sold as Perfect Resize. And even that has been made irrelevant by the Preserve Details upres option in CC.
You are alos wize to be careful. Previous trusable sites like cnet on softonic are a nightmare nowdays, and too many of the free apps you find on them come loaded with malware. Some of it _serious_ malware DAMHIKIJKOK

Collaboration using web server for many pdfs

I manage an online repository of pdfs for multiple clients. Clients can log in and search all their pdfs by keyword to find what they are looking for and view it in their web browser.
They want me to take this service to the next level by allowing them to comment, highlight, add textbox etc. and save the file back to the web server doing all of this via the web browser. They also want to locate their comments that they posted (obviously) at a later date.
A big issue is that these clients have 100s of pdfs that are huge files, some containing 300+ pages. I researched all collaboration choices for acrobat and I think a SOAP repository would work best for my situation.
Before I start a major project, I was wondering if any of you have experience with collaboration on a remote web server (godaddy) for a job of this size.
Does anyone think that a SOAP repository is the best choice? I am looking for guidance mainly as I have no experience developing in acrobat.
Can I write a program that will allow my goals to be met and work with all pdfs that are ftped to my web server? I have thousands of pdfs that I manage at the current time.
Thanks for your help!

What you're talking about is called Browser Based Review and was supported up to Acrobat 8. In Acrobat 9 this was replaced with the newer and more feature-packed Shared Review functionality.

How to remove Constant Guard Protection Suite extension from Chrome?

I have tried to remove Constant Guard Protection Suite many times by putting into the trash can on the extensions page, but it always shows up after restarting Chrome.
Any tip would be greatly appreciated.

Constant Guard appears to be pretty invasive, so much so they had to make a cleaner torid your system of all it's remnants:
From a previous post:
To completely remove all traces of the Constant Guard software from the computer, download and run the Constant Guard cleaner tool. Click here to download the tool, run the program, and follow the simple prompts to remove the software. You will have to reboot your computer after running the cleaner.
Hope that helps.
FWIW

How to password protect PDF documents or files?
Open the PDF file in Acrobat
Select File > Document Security from the menu
Got to the u201CSecurity Optionsu201D drop-down and select u201CAcrobat Standard Securityu201D
Find the box labelled u201CPassword required to open documentu201D and place a check mark against it.
Edit or type the password
You can also add a password requirement for changing permissions or password.To add a a required password check the box against u201Crequired password to change permissions or passwordu201D and enter the password. However note that this password must be different from the one that you entered for securing or password protecting the PDF file.
If you want your PDF document to be password accessible to users with previous versions of Acrobat Reader (versions earlier than 5.0), do not change the 40-bit encryption setting. However if your users or audience will be using version 5 or later versions of the Reader (or the full Acrobat program) then you may use 128-bit encryption.

Removing Forefront Protection for Exchange

I am looking into moving away from Forefront Protection for Exchange since it can't be renewed (prob to Cisco Ironport).
What exactly do I need to do remove it completely?
Current set up:
Exchange 2010 behind Forefront TMG.
Forefront Protection for Exchange used to block spam and scan for viruses.
I believe there is a edge subscription between TMG and Exchange
Exchange transport role installed on TMG server

Hi,
when FPE is integrated into TMG you first should disable the E-Mail protection in TMG. After that FPE runs indepented and you can simply uninstall it like any other installation.
Greetings

Christian Groebner MVP Forefront
Hi Christian
Could you be more specific as to exactly what in TMG will "disable the E-Mail protection in TMG" as it relates to the uninstallation of FPE?
E.g. In TMG, on the "E-Mail Policy" tree node with the focus on the "E-Mail Policy" tab, there are 3 configurable items that I'm unsure of will achieve the above. These are:
"E-Mail Policy" : Enabled
"Protection Manager Integration" : Enabled
"Email Policy Integration Mode" : Enabled
Any specific one of the above or all?
Thanks

Password Protection for pdf file

Hi Gurus,
Wish u happy new year
Is there any possibility for giving the password for the pdf file from SAP so that it should be password enabled. Now am able to send the pdf file attachment through mail. But my requirement is I have to give the password facility to the pdf file so that when the user wants to see the pdf file in mail it should ask that password.
Hope my requirement is clear.
Points will be awarded
Thanks

Hi Gurus,
Any Solution

Indesign CS4 won't retain passwords for placed PDFs

Hi,
I've just upgraded to CS4 from CS2 and I'm having a problem with placed PDF files with password protection.
I wonder if anyone knows why CS4 seems unable to retain passwords for secure PDF files that I have previously placed. Every time I open a document CS4 brings up a 'PDF security password' dialog and I have to enter the password for every placed secure PDF file in the document – no matter how many times I input the passwords and save the document it still happens.
I never encountered this problem in CS2, all I used to do was place a PDF, enter the password for the secure file and then the next time I opened the document with the placed PDFs it would just open without being prompted for the passwords – CS2 just 'remembered' them or something.
There's probably a setting for this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, so any help with this would be appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for your replies guys, I think that a little more information about what I'm doing might help you understand my situation.
I am the creator of the PDFs, which are adverts, and these are secured with only one password (for permissions) in my workflow to allow them to be proofed to the client (but to prevent them from being passed on and subsequently altered by third parties.) The adverts are subsequently placed into an InDesign document for a publication which I solely produce.
Previously, when placing these files in InDesign CS2 you only had to enter the permissions password once to place the file and from then on InDesign CS2 did not require the password to be entered again even if you closed the document and re-opened it (unless the artwork had been modified).
I've been using CS2 with this workflow for years and there's never been a problem with my PDFs – not event at the pre-press stage as I generate a high res PDF file for the entire publication and upload this to repro with whom I have a close working relationship and I'm certain that they would have informed me of any problems. Although I think that the final PDF would not be affected by passworded files?
I quite agree, I wouldn't expect someone else to place a file that required a password to do so – but that's not the case here. I'd like to understand why CS4 (and interestingly it seems CS3) doesn't retain the permissions password after it has been entered in the first instance – in the same way that CS2 did. It's inconvenient to have to enter it for each advert in the document every time I re-open it.
Yes, I could remove the security, but for me, that seems to defeat the object of being able to generate just one PDF file in the first place to use in my workflow.

How to remove encryption in digital signature

How to remove the encryption in the digital signatur
I sign document and signature encrypt document hence not allowing future amendments. How to remove encryption ??

Thanks George for the help, I managed to create my own ID using your
approach, Advanced > Security Settings > Digital IDs > add ID, but when I
signed it with the PDF of my signature, it is showed as my name in Typing
such as "XXX YY", instead of the handwritten form. I managed to use the
same PDF of my signature (signed and converted to PDF) last week when I
used the Pro 9, how can I attach my signature the same way in handwritten
form instead of being convered to "XXX YY" and appears "digitally signed"
Thanks again.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents. When I click Print, the document fades and I get a dialog box that says "Adobe Acrobat has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I was experiencing this with Acrobat X so I upgraded to XI, but the problem is exactly the same. I am using Windows 7 Professional operating system.

Thank you for your reply. I have several printers available on our network,
the program doesn't even go as far as allowing me to select a printer. I am
trying to print to an HP 1320n or a LANIER MP C5502 PCL 6. I have changed
the default printer, but the result is still the same. In does the same
thing with Adobe (Standard XI) PDF set as the default printer.

Add/Remove a password to an individual PDF without navigating entire security process?

Is there a procedure/plug-in/script/utility that will allow me to add/remove a password to a single PDF without creating a batch script?
I create many (dozens) PDF's throughout the course of a a day, either as an export from InDeisgn CS5.5 or via printing to the Adobe Acrobat Converter. I would simply create watched folders on my desktop to add or remove a password but I haven't found a way to identify security-enabled PDF files without having to open the file.
I have only two scenarios for creating PDF files as it relates to security. The first includes Printing: HIGH RESOLUTION and Changes Allowed: NONE. The second includes Printing: LO-RESOLUTION and Changes Allowed: COMMENTING, ETC.
What would really be great is if there was a script that I could access as a Windows Explorer extension that would allow me to add/remove passwors to one or more selected files. It would even be better if, after enabling password security, I could some identify the security status of a file by it's icon or some other visual manner that didn't effect the name of the file.
I hope I have narrated my situation clearly enough. I look forward to comments or suggestions.

Not possible with Adobe software - Acrobat's context menu in Windows Explorer is not something you can customize or extend, nor can Acrobat or Adobe Reader change the system icon for a file based on the internal structure of the document.

Stapler - A python utility for manipulating PDF docs based on pypdf

Link to github:
http://github.com/hellerbarde/stapler/tree/master
* Dependencies *
Stapler depends only on the packages python and python-pypdf, both of
which can be found in the archlinux repositories.
* History *
Stapler is a pure python replacement for PDFtk, a tool for manipulating PDF
documents from the command line. PDFtk was written in Java, and natively
compiled with gcj. And it has been discontinued a few years ago and bitrot is
setting in (i.e. it does not compile anymore in archlinux).
Since I used it quite a lot, I decided to look for an alternative and found
pypdf, a PDF library written in pure Python. I couldn't find a tool which
actually uses the library, so I started writing my own.
At some point I plan on providing a GUI, but the command line version will
always exist.
* License *
A simplified BSD Style license describes the terms under which Stapler is
distributed. A copy of the BSD Style License used is found in the file "LICENSE"
* Usage *
I am too lazy at the moment to learn how to create a proper man page so this has
to suffice.
There are 4 modes in Stapler:
- cat:
Works like the normal unix utility "cat", meaning it con_cat_enates files.
The syntax is delightfully simple:
Syntax
stapler cat input1 [input2, input3, ...] output
Example:
stapler cat a.pdf b.pdf c.pdf output.pdf
# this would append "b.pdf" and "c.pdf" to "a.pdf" and write the whole
# thing to "output.pdf"
you can specify as many input files as you want, it always cats all but the
last file specified and writes the whole thing into the last file specified
- split:
Splits the specified pdf files into their single pages and writes each page
into it's own pdf file with this naming scheme:
${origname}p${zeropaddedpagenr}.pdf
Syntax:
stapler split input1 [input2 input3 ...]
Example for a file foobar.pdf with 20 pages:
$ stapler split foobar.pdf
$ ls
foobarp01.pdf foobarp02.pdf ... foobarp19.pdf foobarp20.pdf
Multiple files can be specified, they will be processed as if you called
single instances of stapler.
- select/delete (called with sel and del respectively)
These are the most sophisticated modes. With select you can cherrypick pages
out of pdfs and concatenate them into a new pdf file.
Syntax:
stapler sel input1 page_or_range [page_or_range ...] [input2 p_o_r ...]
Example:
stapler sel a.pdf 1 4-8 20-40 b.pdf 1-5 output.pdf
# this generates a pdf called output.pdf with the following pages:
# 1, 4-8, 20-40 from a.pdf, 1-5 from b.pdf in this order
What you _cannot_ do yet is not to specifying any ranges. I will probably merge
select and cat at some point in the future so that you can specify pages and
ranges, and if you don't, it just uses the whole file.
The delete command works almost exactly the same as select, but inverse.
It cherrypicks the pages and ranges which you _didn't_ specify out of the
pdfs.
contact me if you have questions about usage or anything, really

Scott
if you help me with ideas for the command syntax, sure why not. pypdf supports these things. can you make a complete list of things pdftk does that would be important to port over? and how the command line syntax for these features work. I'll then get working
EDIT: I just had a look at the pdftk man page (didn't think of that when i wrote the above...) there are some things that will not be possible with the current version of pypdf (and frankly i doubt there is going to be a new release):
update_info (because there is no way to write document properties with pypdf, you can read them just fine though)
fill_form (similar reason. it's just not supported)
the rest will be fine. I'll rename split to burst and then I'll mimic the cat function. the others should be no problem either.
although... i didn't find anything on rotate in the pdftk manual. how should i implement a rotate function? Rotate complete documents or single pages?
cheers

Adobe reader does not work, what is best for viewing pdfs?

While using Safari, I keep encountering a message that in order to view a .pdf, I need to download Adobe Reader, accept the end user agreement, then relaunch. I have tried to do this many times and keep getting the above message. What program is best for viewing pdfs using Safari on an iMac

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Cannot save many pdfs with Adobe Reader X

Hi,
I download lots of articles as pdfs for teaching, and ever since I updated Adobe Reader to version 10.0.1, I am having trouble saving copies of pdfs for many journals. I have to email myself a copy instead. Is this a problem with the journals not being updated somehow, or is it the Adobe Reader version?
Thanks,
Meghan

Here is a URL that will not save in Reader X:

However, if the last slash is removed or encoded as %2f (which should not be necessary, as it appears in the query portion of the URL), there is no problem.
