Security features not showing in Acrobat Reader 8?

Just curious why the security features of an older version of Acrobat don't display in the document properties when opened with Reader 8. We do some automated processing, using Acrobat 7.0.7 Pro as the main processor, but when we run into problems with incoming documents, I've found that Reader 8 doesn't seem to see the properties.

I think that probably no security is set. The issue with AA7 is likely that it is the prior version of AA and it does not allow editing of the current version. If you save the PDF from AA8 with Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize, you can make it backward compatible for editing. One option you can try in AA7 is to print it to a new PDF, but that may not work either.

  • Security features in AA Pro & Acrobat Reader problem

    Hi,
    In Adobe Acrobat Pro my PDF is shown to have "no security" - everything is allowed.
    When I open that saved documnet in Reader 9.4 it has security features I did not put there.
    In particular, no adding of comments (and markups).
    Any ideas how to resolve problem welcome.

    Thanks Graffiti,
    There seems no problem with the AA pro - opening advanced features - under security properties everything is allowed.
    The problem is that when I open that same PDF in Acrobat Reader (which has no "Advanced") it does nlot allow the adding of comments.
    In Acrobat Reader on toolbar under Document > Security > Show Security Properties : Security : Document Restrictions Summary : under Commenting it is marked : Not Allowed.
    Any idea how to get around this.
    What I want to do is to be able to make PDFs and send then to someone else for adding comments but Reader does not allow this and I am not disabling it when I make the PDF with AA Pro.
    Cheers

  • Acrobat plugin Build with SDK6 not Showing in Acrobat X and XI

    I'm working on an old Plugin build for Acrobat (not reader) using SDK v6.
    This plugin worked fine, upto Acobat 9. (it is only used in Windows)
    Now some users tell me it is not showing in Acrobat X.
    So I installed a trial verison of Acrobat XI.
    After reading some threads, I removed all the references to ADM.
    Recompiled it (VisualStudio 2010), and put the debug version in the PLUG-INS folder of Acrobat
    But there in no Menu added...
    In the General System Information, it is listed under Installed Plug-ins.
    But when running in VisualStudio, none of the callbacks is hit. (this worked fine when I was using Acrobat9)
    Some of my users are using the plugin in Acrobat7 so I prefer still using SDK6.
    Are there any other things that could be incompatible.
    What is the first Callback that Acrobat uses to talk to the Plugin.
    Can Acrobat give me any info on what is wrong with my Plugin.
    Johan

    If the plug-in is not even loaded, chances are that something goes wrong
    when the OS tries to link the plug-in to dynamic libraries. Verify that you
    have all the libraries installed that are required to run the plug-in.

  • Hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat Reader 8 and 9

    Hi,
    Does anyone know why a hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat reader 8 and 9?
    I created a document in Indesign CS and it contains hyperlinks that open up files from network drive so they contain backslash (for example: c:\foder\forder\filename.jpg). All the hyperlinks work in Acrobat Reader 6 but not in Acrobat Reader 8 or 9.
    Anybody could share the solution would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

    Did you ever figure this out? I am also having problems with the "No Hand" javascript which turns off the (not very helpful) page-forward hand icon (a hand symbol with a down arrow) which confuses our users when in fullscreen mode. We create interactive PDFs and everything worked fine up to Acrobat X/Reader X. Now in XI it doesn't allow the internal link icon (pointing finger) nor weblink icon (pointing finger with W) to appear. It just remains a plain o’ hand icon no matter what you mouse over even though there are links present.

  • Can not "see" Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in Google Chrome Plugins?  Find in IE.

    Downloaded new version of Reader twice and still can not see it in Google Chrome plugsin. Windows 7 with latest version of Google Chrome?
    Suggestions?

    Hi C N,
    Going forward, the Adobe Reader plugin will not be supported in Chrome.  The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Here's a blog post that describes their decision - http://blog.chromium.org/2014/11/the-final-countdown-for-npapi.html
    On Windows, it is still possible to change the Chrome default PDF viewing behavior by configuring plugins (chrome://plugins).  When doing that Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is showing as an out of date version.  Enabling that configuration in current versions of Chrome will allow PDF files to open in the Adobe plugin, but that is not a supported configuration.
    On Mac, that configuration is not supported.  When doing that a message is shown that the EULA needs to be accepted before viewing, even if that is no longer required.
    To view PDF files in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, we recommend that you download the file in Chrome and open it from your desktop.
    Regards,

  • Search Feature not showing up

    Hi, i have a video ipod with software version 1.2.1 installed... and i dont have the search feature ... i though that search was availible for all ipods. Is it not, or am i doing something wrong. When i open iTunes, it shows that i cannot update my ipod, so im guessing that it is updated. I was wondering if i should reinstall the latest update, or what should i do in order to get the search feature?

    You can get it by buying a late 2006 5th generation iPod or a 2nd Generation Nano. There is no software update. I have it on my latest Nano and I can't say that it is a feature I would upgrade for.

  • SBS 2008 Security report not showing correct status after Feb patch cycle

    Hello,
    I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this strange problem which has occurred after February patch cycle. On the SBS detailed report that comes through, the security section is showing as RED error. Though
    if you look at the detail, each section is listed as green compliant. Not sure why this has happened? Has anyone else seen this before?
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    Can you provide me the detailed information about the patch you installed before the issue occurred? Have you tried to uninstall the patch and reinstall it again to see if the same issue persists?
    In addition, please also try to repair the monitoring and reporting feature to see if it could resolve the issue.

  • Rotate movie feature not showing up after installing quick time pro key

    I installed Quick Time 7 Player for Windows and then entered my Quick Time 7 Pro registration code. When I open a movie, recorded on a Sony Cyber Shot camera, movie editing features are not showing up. I need to rotate my movies 90 degrees and that was the sole purpose of purchasing the pro addition.
    After reading through pages of on-line support resourses and endless calls for technical support (and receiving none), I am still unable to figure out what's going on. Any ideas? Thank you for your help and insights in advance.

    Sounds like you are trying to edit muxed mpeg files, the editing of which QT PRO does not support. It also will not export the sound from such files. If they are mpeg-1 you can use Mpeg StreamClip to edit or export them. If they are mpeg-2 you would first need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent. With that component installed mpegstreamclip will also edit mpeg2 files.

  • SignatureValidate() method not working in acrobat reader 5

    Hi All,
    Will the method signatureValidate() work in acrobat reader 5. the same pdf validation which is working in acrobat reader versions >= 7 and not working in version 5. Kindly let me know if there are any alternative methods available to detect the digital signature field changes in lower versions. Urgent help required on this.
    thanks in advance.

  • Shared review not working for Acrobat Reader

    I can not believe have not been able to find an anwer to this, sorry if it has been asked before.
    I am trying to setup shared review with clients running Acrobat Standard XI and Acrobat Reader XI, I am currently using a Sharepoint server for the review server if it matters.
    When I send a shared review from Acrobat Standard XI to a user on Acrobat Reader XI, the user is unable to make shared review comments.  The shared review will work when sent to other Standard or Pro XI users.  Any ideas?  I have been looking at this for sometime now, and know the user has full rights to the Sharepoint server.  Is there some setting I am missing in Reader?
    Thank you
    Update:
    I may be finding my own question, but really can not verify.  Must you have Acrobat Pro for shared review to work with Reader?  (I only have standard for pc)

    Priyanja, your statement is ture.  Reviews initiated with Acrobat Standard can only be participated through Acrobat Pro or Standard.  However, this is NOT by design.  It is a bug.  The Adobe website makes this very clear.  The site is:       http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/shared-pdf-document-reviews.html

  • Can't open lotus notes links with acrobat reader XI

    We had acrobat reader 9 a few month ago. We did an upgrade to XI. Since the upgrade, we can't open lotus notes link in PDF. I receve a message : Could not open the file 'Notes://<server>/85256E990056A5F7/428FA5DA3ED9D82485256E6D005FA7AB/ED916EF56E1CC50B85257 545005AB67B'. (<server> is the name of my server)
    The path is working. I can paste it in run and it's working. If I downgrade to reader 9, the link work with the same PDF.
    I did some trace with procmon and I can see acrobat trying to open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Notes:\<server>\85256E990056A5F7\428FA5DA3ED9D82485256E6D005FA7AB\ED9 16EF56E1CC50B85257545005AB67B
