Remove password security on acrobat 11

hello!
when i try to remove password security from my pdf file , i get this message
anyone knows why?
it doesn't happen on acrobat 9

Hi shay_df,
Yes, the file is Reader enabled, and yes you have to create an unsigned copy of the file before you can remove the Password Security.
Open 1244.pdf
Type in the Document Open password (111111) and then click the OK button
Select the File > Save a Copy menu item
Click the Save a Copy button on the conformation dialog
Enter 1244_noUR.pdf as the File Name on the Save a Copy dialog, and then click the Save button
Type in the Document Open password (111111) and then click the OK button
Select the File > Open menu item
Navigate to, and then select the local copy of 1244_noUR.pdf, and then click the Open button
Type in the Document Open password (111111) and then click the OK button
Select the File > Properties (or File > Document Properties in an older version of Acrobat) menu item
Select the Security tab on the Document Properties dialog
Select No Security from the Security Method drop-down list
Click the OK button on the conformation dialog
Select the File > Save menu item

  • URGENT, please help...Removing password security using Batch Processing

    I have a few thousand PDFs which me and a team of colleagues have password protected but these now need the security removed. Is there anyway we can batch process the removal this security? I was thinking that if I added them to the watched folder and ran the batch process I've set up which has no security I may be asked for the password/ s (there are 5 passwords I used in total) and it could remove the password for those attached to that password and then I run the same for the other 4 passwords....any ideas at all would be really appreaciated.
    Many Thanks
    Claire

    Two solutions come to my mind:
    1. As i remember there is the option to run a batch-processing in Acrobat (Prof.). Maybe you can set up a new batch which removes the protection.
    2.
    Otherwise i have a programm (with a special pdf library) which could be adapted to do that. You can contact me for some details.

  • Is this bug of password security in Acrobat 9?

    If you set password to "abcde" you can release it by input just "mz".
    Or when longer password like "ABC-123456." then just input "x" to unsecure it.
    I test on Acrobat 9.3.4.
    If so, it is easy to unsecure all of secured pdf.

    NEW !? ONLY !?
    So user should avoid using older version of security format !?
    I wonder if I test on the next version of acrobat, will it occur again or not when I set to old security format?

  • Remove password security from page

    I am developing one plugin , it is setting password in correct manner ,
    while clearing the password i am using PDDocGetSecurityData(pdDoc) method to get exsistng security datastructure and after that i am calling ASFree to free that datastructure. eventhough when i reopen the document it is asking me for the password . Is it the right approach to clear the password or i need to  use some other api ?  

    PDDocGetSecurityData reads information about security, and puts a copy of that information in memory.
    ASfree releases the memory.
    So, what are you doing to remove security?

  • PDF Not So Secure!?! Software available to modify or remove privilege password security!?!

    Hi, I have searched on the web and have encountered an disturbing new.
    This site explains the flaw with PDF security:
    http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Adobe/Gallery/PDFsecurity.pdf
    The following site claims that they can remove password security embeded in PDF files that prevents people from modifying or copying information within seconds:
    http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html
    Is it still true for the latest version of Acrobat Professional?
    If it is true, I think there is nothing protecting my intellectual property.
    Is there some other ways I can make sure that they can only view, print, but not modify or copy the contents in my PDF files?
    Adobe staffs, please take a look at this closely.

    Did you see the warning that you get when setting security in Acrobat?
    In Acrobat 8, "All Adobe products enforce the restrictions set by the
    Permissions Password. However, not all third party products fully
    support and respect these settings. Recipients using such third-party
    products might be able to bypass some of the restrictions you set".
    So, while disturbing, this isn't really news.
    But in any case, Acrobat's password security does nothing really to
    protect you from copying. Any file can be copied or shared. If you
    want to protect your intellectual property, you have to enter the
    controversial and often expensive world of DRM.

  • Password secured PDF forms

    Can password secured PDF forms be filled out on mobile devices?
    I've tried it on my iPhone and it doesn't appear that I can fill out the form. Wondering if it's just me or if other people are also not able to fill out secured PDF forms on mobile devices.

    You can remove the security using Acrobat (not Reader) then use ExportPDF.

  • Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 on my iMac 24 inch and now my Suddenlink POP email account won't accept messages. The message says unable to receive Mail and the warning says: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove th

    Yesterday I uploaded Yosemite 10.10.2 thinking it was fixed by now. In Mail, my POP account gets this error message: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
    My provider says it's an Apple issue. The gmail accounts are logging in fine. Any help? Something simple?
    Thanks anyone.

    Thanks Csound1. That did work and Mail was able to connect to the internet. Green light status. Is it because of my provider that I may never have had secure connections? Is that an Apple thing or do PCs have the same issues? Appreciate your help. I'll research insecure connections as I am ignorant of the consequences.

  • Acrobat shuts down with an error every time I access Password security settings

    Hi
    I wonder if anyone can help me.
    I have just bought Acrobat 8.1.2 professional, which I am using on a Windows XP machine.
    When I enter the Password Security-Settings dialogue, about 2 seconds later, I get an error message saying that "Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close". When I click on "Send" or "Don't send", it then closes.
    So I can't password protect my documents.
    I experience this with a number of documents (including very, very simple ones), including pdfs I did not create.
    I have run "repair" and also completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Acrobat,without success.
    Has enyone else experienced this and found a solution?
    Many thanks
    Helena

    I have now found a workaround for this! If you set the security settings you want as a security policy, and then apply that policy to your document (rather than trying to set the settings for the indoividual document), it all works fine without crashing.
    It will mean that if you create lots of documents, all of which have slightly different security settings, you'll have a long list of policies, but I tend to use only about 2 security set ups, so it's fine for me. Hope it works for you too, L Haen.

  • Remove password in pdf

    I just downloaded Adobe and 'Forms Central' for the purpose of removing an existing password in a pdf file. The prg won't import it because it is password protected. What should I do differenly?
    Thanks in adance for replies!
    DEB

    Hi DEB,
    Are you opening the PDF in Acrobat? Then, you may be able to remove the security. On that Security tab in the document properties, are you able to change the security settings? The person who created the file may have applied both a document open password, and a document permissions password (which prevents actions being taken on the PDF). If you have the passwords you need, and you have Acrobat, you should be able to turn off the security and save the file.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How do I remove password protection from a PDF file in Adobe Reader

    How do I remove password protection from a PDF file in Adobe Reader?

    PDF security can only be implemented or removed using Adobe Acrobat.

  • How to remove password-encryption in a signed PDF file?

    I can open a password-encryption and digitally signed PDF file using Acrobat X Standard but cannot remove the password protection.
    Can anyone help me remove the password encryption?  The Acrobat only allows to set passsord encryption before adding digital signature to a PDF file.  Can I sign a PDF file and then encrypt it with password?  Thanks.

    Removing the security, if it is possible, would destroy the signature.
    Encrypting a signed PDF would destroy the signature.
    This is because signatures validate the file exactly as it is, and changes to the file break the signature by design. Setting security is a change to the PDF (a big change).

  • Removing PDF Security Settings ??

    Hello;
    1) Out of curiosity, an expert responded earlier to a post in this forum suggesting that one can remove the PDF security settings by using Adobe Acrobat (NOT Adobe Reader).
    Is that true ??
    2) If I distribute a Read-only, password-protected, Blocked PDF file:
    ..a. Can someone with average knowledge of Adobe products easily remove the security settings of the file ??
    ..b. ONLY those with advanced knowledge can do that.  Correct ??
    ..c. Can someone with only the free Adobe Reader unlock the file and disable the password protection ??
    3) I'm sure someone must have posted here or on the internet a step-by-step how-to !!
    Password protection of VBA, Word, Excel, etc. documents are known to be unreliable, and I suppose the same can be said about PDF.
    Any comments ??
    Monir
    PS. If the topic is a bit sensitive, please reply by a PM. Thank you.

    1. Correct. Reader cannot remove security but Acrobat can (if they have the password).
    2.(a): I wouldn't say "average but it can be done quite easily
    (b.) Not really
    (c.)No. Reader cannot remove security
    3. Basically without using some sort of Digital Rights Management, nothing is secure. There are free applications that can remove security and other PDF readers may even ignore it to begin with.
    So if you absolutely need security, studay up on Digital Rights Management and get out the checkbook because it isn't cheap by a long shot.

  • Loaded Yosemite onto mid 2011 MacBook Air. IMAP account goes offline - message - Mail cannot send your password securely to the server.  Allow insecure authentication doesn't work. Repeated reloads. No joy. Help!

    Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.

    I have the same problem.
    Late 2012 imac 27", intel i7 core
    When I upgraded to Yosemite, suddenly my email account (netvigator POP) gives an error:
    Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
    I have shut down & restarted mail, but no success. If I select Allow insecure authentication, it works, but that's not a long term fix.
    I also have a hotmail POP account enabled, and that is working fine.
    What's happening Apple??
