  • Saving Password for a pdf file in HP Client Security Manager

    Hello,
    I want to save the password for a pdf file in the Password Manager of the HP Client Security Manager Software but the symbol for the entry of the password is not appearing on the top right of the screen. If I use the registered fingerprint a dialog opens where the Client Security Manager asks which account it should use to login. But i can't add a password for the file. The login for websites is perfectly fine. 
    Do you have any idea how to fix that?
    Is there a way to manually enter password for files?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the information.
    Suggest you to try uninstall and re-install the latest version which is - 8.3.3.1762. The direct link is:

  • How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?

    I want sent my PDF to a friend,but I just allow him see it only twice.
    How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?
    My software edition is Acrobat X

    In the old days when PDFs were only opened on desktops and only in Acrobat or Reader, scripting could fake security features and people were generally convinced. As there are so many ways to open a PDF without scripts ever being run (from mobile devices to in-browser display, or simply opening the file in Illustrator), none of that works anymore.

  • Install 3rd party PDF iFilter for index PDF file as attachment in e-mail (msg)

    I have called Microsoft Permium Support, base on the reply, SharePoint 2013 does not support to index a PDF file attachment in E-mail (msg) except 3rd party iFilter installed. And they finally told me how to edit Windows Registry for install the Adobe iFilter.
    But, the Adobe iFilter is too weak to call large PDF files. So, I would like to install and try the Foxit PDF iFilter, but I cannot find an installation guide for this 3rd party ifilter with SharePoint 2013. 
    Does anyone here have the experience for Foxit PDF iFilter with SharePoint 2013 can help me?
    I am not sure it is bug or feature in SharePoint 2013, but in case I still have to install 3rd party iFilter for index PDF file. I have no idea what is the out of box pdf file indexing support for.

    You ca plan to use Foxit. 
    steps are nearly the same which we use in sharepoint 2013
    1. We need to update registry for pdf . Registry value is {987f8d1a-26e6-4554-b007-6b20e2680632}
    2. we need to install the foxit ifilter
    Here are steps for same
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2293357
    3. run below command:
    net stop spsearch4
    net start spsearch4
    net stop osearch14
    net start osearch14

  • Parameters for opening PDF files in a browser

    I read some of the posts about making a text link from an html page to a specific location in a pdf document in the browser.  I set up the parameters, as I understand it, according to the document "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The result from my test took me to the top of page 1, not to the bookmark on page 3 that I specified. See the link below. What is wrong with the parameters?
    http://www.tabardtheatre.org/YPASCfolder/2012/SummerYouthProgram2012.pdff#page=3&bookmark= anniejr
    You can also go to the website: http://www.tabardtheatre.org/audition.html and click on the text link (in blue).

    The PDF Open Parameters do not contain the option to link directly to a bookmark, as was mentioned, but I've developed a script that can add this functionality to your files. Have a look here, if you're interested: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/acrobat-link-to-specific-bookmark-in.html

  • How do I make Adobe Reader NOT my default program for reading pdf files?

    I installed Adobe Reader and made it my default program for reading pdf files.  I'd like to undo that and go back to "preview" as my default.

  • How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files

    How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files. I have been able to subscribe in the past, but now all I see is annual subscription. I do not need an annual subscription because I do not use it often enough.

    Hi paige1186,
    The Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which allows you to combine PDF, is only available at an annual rate of $89.99. We do offer month-to-month subscriptions of Acrobat Pro and Standard, but I think you'd actually come out ahead with the annual PDF Pack subscription, if you planned on combining files more than 3-4 times throughout the year.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How to open my file in Gmail after download free trial for converting PDF file to Microsoft Words.

    after download the Free Trial for Converting PDF file to Microsoft Words, I can't open my file in gmail

    One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.
    For a sample how to do this check out http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/jdev11-1-2-1-0-handling-imagesfiles-in-adf-part-3/

  • How to reliably check the resolution for a pdf file?

    Should I use preflight to reliably check the resolution for a pdf file?  I have posted my frustrations on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/978098

    You can create your own preflight tool to check for the dpi of embedded images.

  • Does Adobe provide a free API for creating PDF files

    Does Adobe provide a free API (for Windows) for creating PDF files?   We are currently using
    a basic, internally developed API for creating PDF files, but would like some additional
    capabilities ... in particular the ability to add a watermark that appears when printing
    but not when viewing PDF files on-line.
    If this is not the right forum for this question, please let me know what forum would be
    appropriate.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    OK, with a little bit of searching on Adobe's web site, I found the answer to my question.   Yes, Adobe does offer
    an API for creating/manipulating/reading PDF files:  it's called the Adobe PDF Library SDK and it has to be
    licensed.  Version 9 is the latest.   The cost is decided on a case-by-case basis.    Here is the link:

  • Okular freezes for some pdf files

    My problem is that Okular freezes for some pdf files, the problem is NOT related to how big files are, or how many pics/raster in them. I have many pdfs that exceeds 90 MB and run smoothly. Moreover, I have also many large djvu files that run smoothly. Evince runs all files smoothly  as well. I have the latest stable okular with the latest stable poppler versions as of today.
    Okular freezes in a somewhat weird way, if I go down from page x to x+1 in contiuous mode, It freezes when I reach the gray bar that spearates the 2 pages, when I want to go back to page x from page x+1, which it is supposed to be cached and should load smoothly, Okular also freezes at the same place.
    My problem happens with small books having almost all text, and also happens with scanned books. The weird thing is that some other scanned books and some other all-text pdfs, e.g. academic papers, runs smoothly.

    Sounds like a bug. Try to report it to the bug tracker and be sure to add a file that shows the problem so that the devs can backtrace it.

  • How to purchase Export PDF in France - how to overcome security on a PDF file

    I've been trying today to get subscribed to Adobe Export PDF, but since I live in France, it doesn't seem to be available for purchase.  I found a page in French where I was invited to subscribe, but it took me to the French Adobe Store, where this item does not seem to exist.
    However, I did reach a page where I was invited to try it out, which I did with a PDF page, really wanting to transfer it into a .csv file, but tried Microsoft Excel as the nearest available.  However, when it had tried to process this PDF file, I got the message that the security on the PDF document was such that I couldn't export anything from it.  I checked the security on the document and found, surprise, surprise, that yes, I couldn't export from it (or much else either). 
    So, is Adobe Export PDF supposed to override the security on the original documents, or do I have to have another (paid for) version of Adobe in order to use this facility?
    If it is supposed to override the security, how can I purchase, or otherwise access Export PDF in France?
    If the security settings continue to prevent any access, do I have to go to the original provider of the document to get them to change the security settings?
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    Perhaps someone can get on to Adobe in France to ask them to make their pages more logical?  i;e. don't invite people to buy something which apparently is not on sale here.  If it is, then please make it available on the store page.
    Thanks

    Good day,
    Unfortunately, our ExportPDF service is not yet available for purchase in France.  Update: Adobe ExportPDF is available in France. 
    As for any security settings applied to a file, you would have to contact the file's originator to obtain the document password and remove that password within Adobe Acrobat (separate program), or obtain an unsecured version of the file.  Our service will not allow you to circumvent any security settings that have been applied to a file.

  • Providing security to the PDF file using apache FOP in java

    I am working on PDF file generation using Apache FOP, I have security concerns which are
    1. PDF file will be placed in a folder after generation and that should not be copied to other locations.
    2. PDF file should only have an option print nothing else. The save/save as options should never be enabled.
    3. PDF expiry date is required, so that PDF file will get expire after duration.

    HI,
    I did that too, with too much experiments.
    Code snippet for reference.
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(getOutputFilePath());
    PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("my-new-file.pdf"));
    stamper.setDuration(1,1);
    int permissions = PdfWriter.HideMenubar & PdfWriter.HideToolbar & PdfWriter.HideWindowUI & ~( PdfWriter.AllowCopy | PdfWriter.AllowModifyAnnotations | PdfWriter.AllowFillIn | PdfWriter.AllowAssembly | PdfWriter.AllowModifyContents | PdfWriter.AllowScreenReaders);
    stamper.setEncryption(null, null,
    permissions, PdfWriter.STRENGTH40BITS);
    stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
    System.out.println(stamper.getMoreInfo());
    stamper.close();
    I am able to disable the save button, but I am unable to disable the save as option.
    It would be great help, if you can give some inputs on this.

  • Does the online function cater for a PDF file created in version 9 to be converted to version 6

    I am running Win98SE on one computer (A) and WindowsXP on another computer (B).
    On Computer A I am running Adobe Reader 6.06.
    On Computer B I am running Adobe Reader 9
    Is there a methodology (presumably outside of Adobe Reader) to convert a version 9 file to a version 6 file so that it can be opened in Computer A?
    Microsoft Office Word/Excel for example allows files created in current versions of Office to be opened in the current version and saved as an earlier version.
    Does one have to buy the full Adobe Acrobat package to get a similar function?

    No. Reader is just that a reader of pdf files. You would need Acrobat Standard or Pro to change a file to be read by an earlier version.
