Secure pdf viewing on ipad

How can i view a secure pdf on an ipad?

The Adobe Reader for iPad supports viewing of encrypted and LCRM protected PDF's. There are several other "secure" or "protection" schemes created by third parties, and we don't have the ability to open those documents. Have you tried your secure PDF in the Adobe Reader (available for free in the App Store).

Can any tell me default PDF viewer for iPad??

Please let me know the default PDF viewer n iPad which Apple provides??

Depends on where you are getting the PDF from. If it's sent as an attachment in an email then Mail will open it; if it's on a website then Safari will open it. You can also download Apple's iBooks app for free which will open PDFs

Secured PDF editable on iPad?

We have agents that use iPads to view some of the material we create at our home office. We secure the PDF, allowing no changes, yet we are hearing reports that these agents are able to still edit the PDFs when using their iPad. I'm unable to recreate this on my computer. Has anyone heard of this bug?

Thanks George, you have guessed it rightly. Adobe Reader v. 10.1.0 for iPad does not edit any type of pdf ( Secured or Non-Secured) . You may like to report this as a bug for that PDF Viewer, if possible share the pdf with us so that we can have a look and investigate.

PDF viewed on iPad external links didn't work

I have a pdf made from InDesign CS5.5 with internal navigation links, and links to external websites.
I looked at it on a new iPad G4 iOS 5.1
I opened it on Safari (would not download the pdf but would view)
The internal links worked, the two flash pages of course, did not.
But what was weird, the links to external URLs did not work, they would not move out of the server where I had put the file, so when I clicked the links, the url showing on the screen was:
www.myserver.com/http://www.theurliwant.com
Can I fix this somehow in the PDF, or InDesign? or is it an iPad or Safari issue?
Any ideas on how to fix?
The links, by the way, work in the Kindle App I have on my HD.

Thanks Michael.
In this case, downloading the pdf and getting it onto an iPad is one step I would hope to avoid for the people who are looking at this for several reasons.
It seems to me, connecting to outside links is not high tech and there must be a fix I am missing.
It seems that Safari on the iPad should do it, that perhaps I need to set something, somewhere.
Again, it works on Kindle browser and Safari on my laptop (and all the other browsers I use)
If the fix is not in the set up in Adobe, perhaps the answer is in an Apple Forum re iPad iOS Safari.
Again thanks for your help.

How can I unlock a secure pdf on my ipad?

I am trying to unlock a book for school that I have the ebook copy too, I can do it just fine on my laptop but when I open it up in the app (acrobat dc) for ipad it won't let me fill in the password, therefore I cant see the book? Am I doing something wrong or can this not be done in the app?

Hi vivianag60699495,
I replicated the issue at my end, I opened a password protected PDF file in Acrobat DC app on my iPad, it did ask for the password & I was able to successfully gain access to the PDF file.
Recently there has been an update in the iOS version, please update your iPad to iOS 8 & then try to open the e-book in Acrobat DC app.
Let me know if it works for you. In case if you still need any help please let us know, we will be more than happy to help you.

How do I change the default PDF viewer on my iPad so I can easily see annotations?

I keeping missing annotations on PDF because the built-in iPad Mail viewer does not show annotations. To limit the keystrokes, instead of using "open with" on each PDF email attachment to view in a third part app, I'd like to just change the mail default viewer. Is that possible with the current iPad operating systems?

No it is not possible to change the default pdf viewer in mail.

Can I view the same pdf on multiple iPads at the same time with 1 iPad operating as the master (controlling page turns etc)?

Would like to use 4nr iPads as an autocue system. Can I view the same pdf on multiple iPads at the same time with 1 iPad operating as the master (controlling page turns etc) and the others operating as slaves? Can this be done without the use of 3G or a remote Wifi hub? I would appreciate your input.................

Open the document in Acrobat Reader and use the menu Window > New Window.

How can PDFs be distilled with narrow margins for optimized viewing on iPad?

I am not reporting a serious issue. I am seeking to expand my understanding of PDF creating.
Using Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3), I have been creating PDF files of music charts optimized for viewing on iPad using Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10. I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). Music charts are designed using Pages 5.5.2 using Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 and a custom page size (7.75 in. x 10.25) with four 0.06 inch margins. This allows me to replicate exact content of a PDF file optimized for printing [Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 with US Letter page size (8.5 in. x 11) having four 0.5 inch margins] on a PDF file optimized for viewing on an iPad. The iPad PDF has reduced white space in margins allowing the music chart to have the largest print viewable when looking at an iPad while performing.
I am creating a PDF by distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller [PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)]. "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file." Moreover, "Save as an Adobe PDF" never works for any circumstance.
The issue is iPad PDFs no longer have 0.06 inch margins. A PDF file is created, but there is more white space in margins. I have determined the PDF production is being affected by the HP LaserJet 1012 0.167 inch minimal margins. The outcome does not change if I select Any Printer from Page Setup.
However, a PDF with 0.06 inch margins is created if I use the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there any thing I can do to use Adobe Acrobat XI to make charts optimized iPad like I could before I upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)? Just curious…
Kind regards, –John
P.S. I am attaching 3 screen shots of sample files (PDF with 0.5 print margins, PDF using Distiller, and PDF using MacOS Quartz)

Howdy Sukrit,
Thank you for taking time to respond to my query.
I tried your suggestion for resizing the size of the pages. Unfortunately, the PDF was created from a document that did not designate headers and footers. The Add Header and Footer tool did not recognize the existence of any header of footer, thus I could not use this method to resize the document.
Your suggestion did prompt me to realize I could hand crop each page of a PDF, but this would be a tedious but functional process.
I am convinced this issue is more a product of the Mac OS 10.10.x than an Acrobat issue. (I was creating properly sized PDFs with Acrobat XI and Mountain Lion Mac OS 10.9.x.)
I tried setting up a virtual PostScript printer with a generic PostScript in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. [Ref: Set up a default printer in the Print Center (Mac OS X) <https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html>]
That produced the same results.
I tried using all available presets including Oversized Pages as well as editing Adobe PDF some default settings for Distiller.
I tried setting the printer to EPSON Stylus Photo R280 inkjet printer using Page Setup. Although this printer has minimum margins set to 0.12 inch, the result was a poorly oriented PDF on letter-size page.
I have been distilling quality PDFs for years using Acrobat 4, Acrobat 5, Acrobat 6, Instant PDF 3, Acrobat 7, Instant PDF 4, Acrobat 8, Acrobat 9, Acrobat X. I once could create PDFs using a virtual Adobe Distiller printer with generic PostScripts and specific Laserjet PostScripts, but all my PDF had margins of 0.5 inch or greater. The need for me to limit white space margins PDFs used on iPad only came about in the last year.
Something seems to have changed after upgrading to Yosemite Mac OS 10.10.2. Now PDF creation using Adobe Acrobat seems to be tied to my HP LaserJet 1012 preferences having 0.167 minimum margins whereas the Mac OS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDFContext is not restricted in default margins. This has piqued my curiosity, and I want to learn more about this.
I appreciate your help and expertise.
Kind regards,
–John P. Zannini

How to view an Interactive PDF on an iPad?

My PDF uses three types of buttons: (1) buttons that go to next/previous or a desination page; (2) Buttons that show or hide other buttons – all of these are generated entirely from InDesign and, (3) Layer visibility buttons - which are created in InDesign, but the button Action is set in Acrobat. These buttons require Acrobat layers.
I have seen recommendations for other PDF viewers – such as GoodReader – but GoodReader does not support layers. Is there a Viewer that does? Like Acrobat, but that works with iPads?!
Or do I need to export to another format? Or re-create my document in another format? InDesign Folios do not support the buttons I am using; SWF files do not support layers... sigh.
I don't need to send the PDF to other iPads, only view it. (The Document is an interactive company presentation - my boss goes to a lot of conferences and he wants to be able to present to clients from his iPad.)
Anyone got any bright ideas?!

Sadly, Adobe Reader doesn't support playing videos. You'll need to purchase a better PDF reader, notably PDF Expert from Readdle. US $9.99.

Viewing a CMYK PDFX1/A PDF on an iPad and holding the color?

Hello,
Ok, here is an odd one...
We have a vendor where we need to supply a PDFX1/A 4/c PDF for the iPad version. When I view it on the iPad, it looks terrible...gets very bright, the colors aren't even close.
If I export the same InDesign file as an Interactive PDF option, it looks very close to the original on my screen and that is what I am looking for, but I have to show a PDFX1/a on the ipad, which is not an option in interactive pdf, just print pdf.
Does anyone know how to make any settings in the Export PDFX1/a option that would let it hold truer to the color viewed on the screen, when I view the same pdf on the iPad?
Is that even possible?
Thanks!
babs

You might try viewing such PDF files using the Adobe Reader for iOS that you can download for free from the Apple Application Store. It handles CMYK colors, spot colors with either CMYK or Lab alternates, and live transparency much better than the built-in iOS Preview program. FWIW, there is nothing you can do with the export settings to make this any better if your vendor foolishly insists on a PDF/X-1a file. (A PDF/X-1a file is really only appropriate for printing under some conditions!) At least with PDF/X-4, any original RGB image and vector content will remain as RGB and display with much higher fidelity. Furthermore, transparency won't be ruined by flattening it when producing the PDF file. Such transparency flattening is what yields those stupid white lines that you see when viewing such files on the screen.

Color shift in pdfs when viewing on ipad

Hey all,
Just wondering what I need to do to my PDF to ensure color are some what close to original when saving a PDF in Illustrator or InDesign. Yes i understand iPad would be using a different coor management to a desktop computer but surely there is a way to get the colors, brightness closer to original?
I notice that when doing standard and high quality saves in PDF format, the saturation and brightness contrast changes quite a bit, but if I save the image as a jpg its a lot closer.
I was just browsing a car site which seems to be exeriencing a very similar situation with one of their PDFs. When viewing in iPad have a look at how bad this looks (its way too dark) but when viewing on a desktop machine its fine.

(If the link does not work go to the main domain, click on vehicles from menu, select captiva5 then click view brochure) to load PDF
Is it just a matter of color proofing using a specific model and drawing back on blownout levels before outputting to PDF?
Any help or insight would be great

Probably you are starting with an cmyk document and the profile is being translated that way.
Try converting the document to rgb then adjust your colors. Make sure you are using sRGB and not Adobe RGB 1998 or Color Match.
That should be the way to go.

Color in PDF emailed from iPad change when viewed in Adobe

Hi,
I'm currently working on an app that will generate PDF's that were previously being generated by a different (Windows based app).
I convert a UIView into a PDF, which works 100%. The problem is that when I email that PDF from the ipad to my PC and open it in Adobe the RGB value for all the green in the PDF is different, but not for the other colors. It is very very close to the correct color, it just looks dull compared to the original and Im developing for a client that says it has to be 100% identical.
If I open both PDF's in preview then the RGB value is correct.
I've tried fudging the values slightly and used every differnent color picker I could find to try get them to look the same, no luck.
The RGB value im trying to get is: R:78 G: 135 B: 38.
What im getting back is: R:62 G: 119 B: 57.
If you need any clarification about what ive said please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...

Issues with setting "Maked Reader the default PDF viewer" with Adobe Customization Wizard XI

I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I have set the following options in the Adobe Customization Wizard.
Personalization Options
Enabled the checkbox for Suppress display of End User License Agreement (EULA)
Installation Options
Selected the radio button for Make Reader the default PDF viewer
Run Installation: selected radio button Silently(No Interface)

I have tried to deploy the MSI with MST via GPO and Command Line with no luck. Every time i deploy via below methods, the same result occurs, all of the options are set correctly except the "Make Reader the default PDF viewer". I know how to manually set this option via Windows or Adobe interfaces but i am looking to roll this out to the masses and would not want a bunch of service desk calls because a user clicks on an Adobe PDF file and it is not opening in Adobe Reader.
GPO
Create New Package Use AcroRead.msi
Choose Advanced
Deployment Options - Click Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management.
Modifications - Select Transform file located in the folder of MSI
Command Line.
Tried these options to try and apply "Make Reader the default PDF viewer"
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst"
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" /qn
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read /qn
Anyone know how to make this setting work with the Transform file, i sure would appreciate assistance on this issue.

Instead of saving as a PDF thru Work do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF and it will be saved the first time with the Preview icon.

How to display Pdf file in iPad site

Hi
How to display Pdf file in web page which can able to view in iPad safari?
Thanks,
Arun

You can't really.
You need to use DHTML in the swf-wrapper HTML file, usually a
division wrapped iFrame, and load the PDF into the iFrame as an
overlay to the Flash.

How to get dark elements in background to be visible on PDFs viewed on mobile devices?

I would appreciate any information about how to export to PDF an InDesign document, which has multiple dark jpeg layers used to create a background, so that those elements appear in mobile device PDF viewing, just as they are seen on a computer monitor's version of the PDF viewing experience.
On mobile devices - iPhone and iPad - the background of the PDF appears simply as black. All the other texts and color photos in the foreground areas of the InDesign document appear perfectly on the mobile devices on the PDF. Yet, the darker background elements render as solid black on the mobile devices. Perhaps, this is always the case so that the PDF can be rendered viewable on mobile devices more quickly. I don't know. The same PDF is viewed perfectly on computer monitors. This is only an issue with the mobile device viewing of the PDF.
I've tried everything I know to do to choose different and particular settings in the "Adobe PDF preset" type area from within InDesign in order to create viewable background elements via a PDF viewed on mobile devices.
Any information as to particular settings for the InDesign document to Adobe PDF which would allow ALL elements to be seen on ALL electronic devices would be especially helpful.

Steve, thank you for your post as well. Please see my first reply, which was in reply to Bob Levine's question. I can't provide a link to the document because it's part of a collaborative work that I'm contracted for - so I can't violate that with a public sharing of the PDF. Otherwise, I would share a link. But your comment about the different app Readers you used, gave me the idea to try all of them that I have. Because the doc was in a Dropbox shared folder, I could access it via my Dropbox app on my iPhone/iPad. So, I decided to go through multiple options with what they allow you to open a PDF in, to read it. I had only tried a few. Then after your comment I decided to try whatever else they had and tried the Adobe PDF reader one - and it opened with all the visual elements there. I'll have to tell the folks, that I'm doing the work for, to open it in the ADOBE PDF Reader app now.
