Security permissions on a PDF preventing imposition?

I recently sent a PDF to our printers for printing.
It was produced from Frame 7.2 using Distiller 8/Acrobat Professional 8.
In the latter, I set a security password to stop the PDF being edited, but set it to allowed "High Quality Printing".
However the printshop complained that the PDF was password protected and they couldn't print it.
When I queried their workflow, they said the password protection was blocking the page imposition process they wanted to use.
I wanted to ask the forum if this was a common situation, or in general, should PDF security permissions not block page imposition?
(Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the imposition software they were using... and they then decided they could print without a password after all...)

This is common.
Consider that imposition is often done by combining the individual
pages into big sheets - of a PDF. This is clearly PDF editing, so you
need to give your printer permission to do anything with the PDF. Many
kinds of editing (e.g. in a plug-in) require an unprotected file.
There are many imposition solutions, many of which Adobe would know
nothing about. Maybe the print provider tried a different one, or even
sent it out to a subcontractor with a different one.
I find it baffling that people would protect files from their
printers. What is it that printers are likely to do? If there are
concerns, they should be addressed contractually.
Equally, what the printer should do is make this requirement very
clear in the submission requirements.

  • Security settings on this doc prevent signing

    I created a form with interactive fields. 1) in security settings it says "no security" 2) under Advanced, I "enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader" 3) opening the pdf in Reader X I clicked on the "Sign" button at the top 4) I get the "The security settings on this document prevent adding text ...." pop up in the Sign Pane. 5) I checked the security properties in Reader and it shows everything is allowed. ?????

    First, what is a digital signature? It's a cryptographically sound operation that provides two important pieces of information. It takes a snap-shot of the document at signing time to provide a test of document integrity (if someone were to try and modify the snap-shot it would invalidate the digital signature), and it provides assurance that whomever signed the document is who they say they are.
    The question you have to ask yourself is, do I need that kind of security? That is, do I need to ensure the signed portion of the document has not been modified, and is the person that signed the appropriate person for approving the document?
    If you decide that yes, you need the security and assurances that a digital signature provides and you can't control what application the signer may be using (i.e. either Acrobat or Reader) then you need to enable the file to be signed in Reader (it can always be signed in Acrobat). In order to enable signing in Reader using Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 do the following:
    Open the file you want to enable for signing
    Select the File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features menu item
    Click the Save Now button on the Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader dialog
    Supply a name and location and then click the Save button on the Save As dialog (note: you can save over the existing file)
    Another question you have to ask yourself is do I care where the signature is placed on the PDF file? If you want to control the location of the signature appearance then you need to place the signature field as you noted above. On the other hand, if you don't care where the signature is placed then don't create a signature field and let the signer inscribe a signature field somewhere on the document at signing time. By the way, the document layout (placement of signature fields) should be finalized before you Reader Enable the file.

  • Can I stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?

    I am working on a project for which I have created one central document (an index) and 120 linked documents. Each document, on every page, has links to the next alphabetical document and back to the central index. This project will be distributed on disc to people with unknown computer platforms.
    I am a Mac user, and this works well on my iMac using Adobe Reader. It also works on my ancient Windows XP machine. A tech friend has looked the project over, and he says that on Windows 7 (used by more than half of computer users), every time a document links to a new document, Windows 7 throws up a warning about PDF security hazards. With a large number of documents to open, this could be tiresome.
    Is there a way to stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?
    This tech person recommends joining all the PDFs into one file (around 50 MB by his estimate), which would require relinking every current link.
    Acrobat offers to do the same with its Portfolio, but I'm not fond of the graphic styles offered, and I worry that one large file might be a challenge for older machines.
    Any suggestions?

    Can you get a screen shot of this error message or at least the exact wording? I suspect the error message is being displayed by Reader/Acrobat and not Windows.

  • How to include security settings into InDesign PDF presets?

    I have prepared an InDesign template for multiple users in my team. Ihave created a set of PDF presets for exporting PDFs to keepconsistency. I want to protect all the PDF files with password and haveto include the password protection in the PDF presets. But InDesign PDFpreset is not supporting the security tab.
    Currently I have suggested the batch command in Acrobat Pro for security settings.
    It would be much helpful if Adobe help me in this.

    riott.girl wrote:
    Using the File>Adobe PDF Presets, chose anyone of the pre-existing Adobe pre-sets--not one that you've created.
    Change the settings to the pre-sets you want, including the security settings, and then click "save preset".
    That would be an nice easy solution, but there is no access to security settings in the PDF presets.

  • Windows Update files: Security permissions has "unknown user"

    Ok, this is weird. I have 30 files added in a November Windows update with a compile date or add-to date of 11/21/14. If I look at one of the files. MsSpellCheckingFacility.exe.  I can see it is a legit file.
    https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e9dcf987838e9a70fca4e1b1dda217bd1e309cd4f6bac47402120f76aac6edc7/analysis/
    However, the security permissions on the file are strange.  The user TrustedInstaller is the owner.  Now that seems to be typical when the file is a Microsoft updated file.  However, the file also has a user added that is unknown.
    user ? S-1-14-21
    Umm, why is this?  Its 30 files like this all REAL Microsoft files....all apparently part of the update.  All scanned against virustotal as being revised about that date/time.  Did Microsoft release an Update Build with files as a part
    of that build that had Microsoft users still attached to them?

    Hi!
    This machine is joined to a domain? This SID with parameter "-21-" indicates a domain. If so, it is needed to verify on local polices if any user had permission on domain workstations enforced by network Administration.
    But when researching by SID "S-1-14-21" we have no
    reference, as parameter "-14-" is not commonly used.
    From articles bellow, we can find how SID works and the well known SIDs:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd302645.aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn743661.aspx
    As this is not a known SID, I suggest you to try to use the script on link bellow to determine who is the user account:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2004/12/03/how-can-i-determine-the-sid-for-a-user-account.aspx
    The problem can be a user account that had already deleted (this is why SID is not resolved to a name) or a problem on WMI component that is not able to resolve SID.
    If not successfull with article above, please post a screenshot on file permission in order to help you further.
    Cheers!

  • Security Permissions from Management Console Not Being Replicated on SQL Server Database

    Hi Everyone,
    We have been encountering issues with access to Reporting Services for most console users since we upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2. We have observed that since the R2 upgrade, security permissions
    that are set in the console are not being replicated on the SQL database. Users/Groups that had access prior to the R2 upgrade are now only able to access Reports via the web interface. All new users/groups are not able to get access at all.
    We are not sure what the problem could be and would appreciate any guidance.
    We have tried the following without success:
    Manually adding new users/groups to the database
    Reinstalling the the Reporting Service point and Reporting Service, Removing all of the security groups from the console and from the database, and Adding the security groups back
    to the console.
    Our current environment:
    SCCM 2012 R2
    1 Site
    Primary Site:
    OS: Server 2008 R2

    Point
    SQL Server
    OS: Server 2008 R2
    SQL Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
    Roles: Site Database Server / Reporting Services Point

    Thanks for your feedback.
    Permissions
    We have two main types of users: Full Administrators and local departmental IT administrators. (Local IT Admins only have full control over their own departmental collections. They have Read/Add to All Systems.)
    The only account that's currently able to run Reports from both the console and web is the admin account used to perform the R2 upgrade. 
    Full Administrator
    Role: Full Administrator
    Scope: All instances of the objects that are related to the assigned security roles.

  • Level of security is there in PDF files?

    What level of security is there in PDF files? My company has asked me to create PDFs with interactive forms that would submit to either a database or an email address (I'm not sure about this yet because I don't know what PDFs are capable of submitting TO).
    I am familiar with the typical 128 bit encryption SSL on web pages, but I have no idea what type(s) of security is available in PDF files. My company wants to have customers download PDFs from our website, fill them out, and click a submit button to have the data sent to us. The data would be highly sensitive data like names, social sec numbers, etc.
    Any thoughts or help are appreciated :)

    Hello
    I have exactly the same requirement where in users download the PDF from our public website and fill out the form and Submit it directly to HTTPS server (that is hosting the servlet). The PDF will have have an "Owner" password with acrobat 7 compatibility and 128 bit AES encrpytion.
    I have 3 questions mainly:
    1. During the data transfer from user's desktop to the servlet, is the data encrypted. If so, what level of encryption.
    2. If in the above case, user opens the form from within the browser, Is the browser handling the encryption or the the PDF?
    3. If user stores the form they filled out, is the data stored as encrypted. If it is, how would the user who wishes to see this form decrypt it?
    Appreciate your quick response.

  • How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?

    How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?
    I'm trying to secure my documents so others can not convert file to word or copy and paste information to edit

    Keep in mind (and Acrobat will alert you to this fact) that protections that you set in Acrobat are enforced by all Adobe products but the 3rd-party PDF Viewers may ignore them. There are even Web sites that will strip protections that you set in Acrobat. This is not a reliable technology these days. Acrobat keeps it mostly for backward compatibility for those users who use only Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

  • Security Permissions Violation in my application

    In my application rarely security permissions are violating
    what may be the reasons.

    We are Not GOD............. Give more details.. what kind of application, where the security policy is defined, how users are getting in to applications.. bla bla

  • Fine grained security permissions

    I think fine grained security permissions are needed. If I use all permissions on a signed jar, that would grant too many permissions to the application. If I do not use all permissions, I can not use System.setSecurityManager(myOwnSecurityManager).
    When all permissions are used, after my own security manager is set, the old security policy appears to be valid still.
    Any comments? How can I easily apply my own policy to a WebStart based application?

    I did additional tests. It looks that when the security manager is activated, even the simplest JSP application is no longer working. It is simple to simulate (jdev 10.1.2 + ias 9.0.4.0.0):
    1. Create a new Web project containing a jsp page
    2. Deploy the application to the AS
    3. Test the JSP page. It works.
    4. Activate the security manager (add -Djava.security.manager into the Java options of the j2ee container)
    5. Restart the j2ee container and test. Crash
    Any idea?
    thanks

  • DPM 2012 R2 UR4 - DPM could not set security permissions on the replica or recovery point volume that was created.

    Hi All,
    I am running a fresh install of SCDPM 2012 R2 with a protection group that is backing up the 'C:\', Bare Metal and System State of some VMs. If i add any additional servers to the group since the first creation it returns the following error: 
    Modify protection group: System State & Bare Metal Recovery failed:
    Error 419: DPM could not set security permissions on the replica or recovery point volume that was created.
    Error details: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
    Recommended action: Review the error details, take appropriate action and retry the operation.
    If i re-create the whole protection group it works fine.
    Could any one advise any further diagnostics I can do to try and locate the reason behind not being able to modify the group after the first creation? I can add new servers to other PGs without any issues.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    If you are protecting any of the system state/BMR protection. Can you stop protection by deleting the older recovery points and then recreate the protection group.

  • You do not have security permissions to complete this operation. Contact your administrator for more information.

    Hi everyone,
    I had a little trouble finding this on ony forums, so i decided to write it myself.
    I have setup on my Windows server 2008 machine fax server manager. It is working well (recieving faxes and forwarding it through email)
    It has been setup with a d-link external fax modem.
    Everytime i try to connect my client computer (windows vista business 32 bit)  to the fax server through windows keep getting " you do not have security permissions to complete this operation. Contact your administrator for more information."
    I am having a little trouble getting around it as i am the system administrator and have all the rights to do this. I have also added extra to my account fax rights as i thorght, that could of been the problem. I have also added my account in the fax server manager, but that did not work as well.
    Everything is set up on a domain and the server that is running fax service manager is on it aswell, not sure what could be the problem.
    Thank you in advanced for your help

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post.
    First, I would like to confirm if the issue occurs with the Domain Admins.
    If so, please check if the relevant group policies are set appropriate.
    To resolve this issue, make sure that the Network Service account and the Local Service account is added to the following policy settings on the domain controller:
    ·         Adjust memory quotas for a process
    ·         Generate security audits
    ·         Log on as a service
    ·         Replace a process level token
    ·         Log on as a batch job
    To configure the policy settings for the Network Service account on the domain controller, follow these steps:
    1.    Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
    2.    Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.
    The policy settings are displayed in the right pane.
    3.    Double-click the policy setting that you want to add the Network Service account to.
    4.    If the Network Service account and the Local service account is not in the list of users and groups that are assigned to that policy setting, click Add User or Group.
    5.    In the Select User or Groups dialog box, type Network Service in the Enter the object names to select box, and then click OK.
    6.    Verify that NETWORK SERVICE is displayed in the list of users and groups that are assigned to that policy setting, and then click OK.
    7.    Add Local service the same way.
    8.    Reboot the server.
    Does it work?
    If the problem continues, Please collect the MPSReport from Windows Server 2008.
    1. Download proper MPS Report tool from the website below.
    Microsoft Product Support Reports
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=CEBF3C7C-7CA5-408F-88B7-F9C79B7306C0&displaylang=en
    2. Double-click to run it, if requirement is not met, please follow the wizard to download and install them. After that, click Next, when the "Select the diagnostics you want to run" page appears, select "General", “Business Networks”, click Next.
    3. After collecting all log files, choose "Save the results", choose a folder to save <Computername>MPSReports.cab file.
    Use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the file and then give me the download address.
    Hope this helps.

  • Applying password security & comment enable to PDF

    Hi all,
    This is my second discussion reg. the livecycle PDF Generator ES.
    First discussion was completed successfully with the help of "Jasmine".
    We got a requirement from production team, stating that they will provide the "water marked" pdf.
    They wanted back with password security and comment enable pdf.
    Is this possible to do it in live cycle.
    I check in livecycle they given provision only in PS to PDF not for the direct PDF.
    Shaji

    Its rather difficult to explain over the forum, but basically the invokeDDX action takes a map of documents and the DDX file.  The key of the map matches with the source values in the DDX. For example, if I have an entry in my DDX like:  <PDF source=”doc1.source” />  then I need an entry in my Map with the key doc1.source.
    You can either create the map outside of the invokeDDX operation (for example in a setValue) or you can use the operation's property sheet to enter values.
    As for the DDX - if you are using ES2, then you can create one using the Document Builder by right clicking on your project and selecting New->Assembly Descriptor.
    With earlier versions of the product you can create the DDX in the invokeDDX operation itself.
    The following help file may clear things up:

    "User XXXX does not have AccessSchedulerBusiness permission: java.security.AccessControlException: No authorization"
    "Username | ACCESS.ERROR | null | | Permission=[(com.redwood.scheduler.security.permissions.SchedulerAccessPermission business)]"
    Errors such as the above normal and should not be any reason for concern. CPS has support for many more SAP standard roles now and in this situation CPS asks the UME if the user has these roles, the NW Java UME then logs a message if the user does not have the requested roles. This error is specifically logged when the user has no business user permissions.
    You can ignore these default trace entries. These standard roles are part of CPS, but they do NOT show in the CPS UI until you have assigned them in the UME to a user and that user has logged into CPS.

  • Best way to secure and sell a PDF

    Over the past year, I've been taking a few IT certification exams, and I have tons of notes that I've converted to PDF. I didn't realize so many people would be so interested in seeing and buying my notes, especially after giving them feedback on how the experience was and how useful my notes were.
    I don't have any experience creating digital certificates, but I do believe there's some good security features I can use with Adobe Acrobat Pro X to get this job done. I know I won't be able to secure everything 100% obviously, but I'd like to do whatever I can.
    What is the best method to go about to make sure my PDF can only be opened by the person I sent it to, and make it corrupt if they save a copy, or send it to another person? Also, I know there's a way to prevent right click + copy, but not sure how to do that either. One more thing, is there a way to prevent the PDF contents from being shown in a screen capture?
    Thanks for any help.

    The security features do try to do some of what you want, other than the sending to others. However, the security feature is easily gotten around, though the methods to do so are not generally discussed here. So the only real answer to your problem is to use Digital Rights Management. I believe Adobe has a package to do that, but I really have never used it. This is the DRM that was mentioned.
    For the average user, there would not be a problem except for the sending out copies. It all depends on how much you want to push the point. The basic security would work for most folks. Keeping them from sending a copy to someone else would have to be on the trust format. If you are wanting to charge, DRM may be the best route. If you are just concerned about the protection of your work, then maybe you should just do a copyright.
