Security Settings in Robohelp 9 PDF files

I think this is a Robohelp problem because it only happens when I launch a PDF from a Robohelp-generated site. It does NOT happen in Adobe Acrobat. It may be a conflict with Windows 7 - we just loaded it yesterday - because before that everything worked.
We created a PDF file with interactive fields, and NO security settings. The file has signature fields that populate with your digital ID when you click the red tag. It works just fine in Acrobat - you can type data into the fields, and the digital ID dialog launches when you click the red tag. If you click OK, the field displays your digital signature.
However, when I launch the file from online help I created with Robohelp 9, I get an error message stating that the security settings on the document don't allow adding text or placing a signature on it. I double checked, and there is NO security. See the attached images. Is this a bug? Should I report it?
Thanks

Hi there
I'm wondering if the following is happening to you.
When in Acrobat, you are viewing the document differently and able to make edits. When you are opening the PDF from RoboHelp (or more accurately, the browser) you are presenting it from the PDF reader and not Acrobat. Thus you have different capabiities.
Cheers... Rick

How do I change my security settings to allow pdf files to auto-open in new version of adobe reader?

I have just updated my Adobe Reader and now I can't download and open pdf files anymore.
I tried going through the preferences in Reader, but it says that the setting is tied in with 'security administration' settings on Mac OS X.
I have not actually changed anything in the settings so am assuming that this is something to do with the most recent update to either Adobe Reader or OS X security.
What can I do to fix this?

Thank you for your help.
I also found that Mozilla Firefox seemed to be part of the problem.
Switched to google chrome and this seems to have made downloading pdf's possible again

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.

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.

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.

No Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files"

Hi, I wanted to convert different Microsoft Office files, but it doesn't work. There are no Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files". I had the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on a MAC in Windows that runs trough Parallels. Hope somebody can help. Thx

Hi Rahul,
many thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, Parallels is a virtual machine on the top of MAC and I can see all files in the Windows Explorer. Also the ones I created on the MAC top with the Microsoft Office Software Word or Excel for MAC as well the ones I created earlier on a Windows PC.
Unfortunately there is no possibility to convert files into PDF format with a click on the right mouse. And Adobe also doesn't open Word documents because it doesn't support this format.
But nonetheless it wouldn't be a solution that I prefer to convert in adavance every single file in a PDF format. I need to create a PDF package from different formats.
I assume this issue has to do something with MAC or Parallels, because this function of the Adobe Versions Acrobat 8 Pro and XI Pro work well on a Windows PC. I just don't understand why there are no Microsoft Office file formats listed in the Adobe settings. This settings also can't be changed. I tried to find out but couldn't find any hint for this problem thus I'm a bit at a loss... Maybe you have another idea?

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.

Security error while loading pdf file in jsp in firefox?

When i type in the following link manually in firefox as " file://///172.16.2.1/copyediting/ELS/mallet.pdf", pdf file is loaded successfully in the firefox browser. PDF file is located in remote server which is referred by IP 172.16.2.1.
I've assigned the Same link in a String in jsp page and tested it through my tomcat application as
<%
String linktotest="file://///172.16.2.1/copyediting/ELS/mallet.pdf";
%>
<a href="<%=linktotest%>">link</a>
when i click on the hyperlink , the pdf is not loaded in firefox and i'm getting the following error in firefox error console
Security Error: Content at http://172.16.3.222:8080/FMS/source/journal/ProductionEntry.jsp may not load or link to file://///172.16.2.1/copyediting/ELS/mallet.pdf
can any one please give me the solution.

Links and forms in HTML should point to public URL´s (with http:// or https:// protocol), not to the file system (with file://).
If those files are not public accessible by URL, then you need to create a servlet which does the file streaming task. This example may be useful then: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

What's the best security settings for publishing PDFs on the web while considering SEO still works

I want to protect my PDFs from people editing them and publishing them under their names, but I also want search engines to be able to scan it properly for SEO purposes. What's the best security settings to use for the PDF to accomplish both?
Thanks

I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great. i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive. My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes. I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV
I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.

Security in developing a pdf file

how do i make a pdf file secure so that it cannot be shared
or copied?
thanks, alex

Good day Hudda,
I've seen this behavior a few times over the last few months. You could try disabling the 'Recognize text' function, but it may not help. We're anticipating an update to the ExportPDF service within the next few weeks that should help with issues like this, but I don't have an immediate solution for you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

How secure is an encrypted pdf file?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro => Require a password to open document => use a password that is 'Best' with the 4 gray rectangles on the right lighting up green => Compatibility: Acrobat X and later, Encryption Level: 256-AES
In other words, the above is the strongest security that Acrobat XI Pro has to offer by way of encryption. But just how secure is this strongest security? Any of the experts here care to give a lay person a feel for the level of security in case the encrypted pdf file gets in the wrong hands?

It would be very hard (take a very long average amount of time) to crack the security with that password and encryption level, but both the "document open" and "change security" passwords should have the same high level of strength since both can be used to open the document. Be sure to use passwords that aren't susceptible to dictionary attacks.

Anders,
In using Administrator Access Control to create your administrator groups, how can one prevent someone assigned to a new category from viewing the existing categories that were created prior to the administrator group functionality?

Quartz filter settings for compressing pdf file

I have used the nominal quartz filter setting (reduce file size) to compress pdf file. It reduced the file
size significantly--but the text resolution was considerably blurred.
What is an appropriate setting to reduce pdf file size and not destroy the test resolution ?

See if this helps...

Security Settings Opening a PDF on Windows 7

I am running Windows 7 and all of a sudden a security question pops up every time I try to open a PDF. I did not change anything to cause this to occur. It is very anoying. How do I stop this?

Without seeing the crash logs nobody can tell, but well, no offense, this is not a computer, that's a toaster with a silicon chip by today's standards. Those specs are totally unsuitable for any serious work and I'd have to lie about it, but I think even CS4 had a minimum of 2GB RAM as a requirement. That being so, you probably simply run out of working memory on all fronts plus, of course, there may be additional issues with file access due to a slow drive or permissions issues. So to cut my long hubub short: You will quite likely not be able to fix it no matter what we tell you because the system simply doesn't have enough juice.

How do you change security settings to edit a file?

I have a form that I created that I would like to make some changes to. When I try to edit the file it tells me that the security setting will not allow me to edit the file. Can anyone help me with this?

Check whether you have S_GUI Authorization Object in ECC ? if you don't have it, check with your security team to assign it for you in a ROLE and the values below
Possible values:
61: Download; This authorizes you to save lists displayed on the screen in local files (either unconverted, in spreadsheet format, or in Rich Text Format). This authorization can only be granted or denied fo all lists in the system - you cannot restrict it to a selection of lists.
60: Upload; This authorizes you to load data into the system using ws_upload or gui_upload. You cannot select the data to be uploaded.
04: Print; (not used)
02: Change; (not used)
