Sending Password-Protected PDF in Apple Mail

I am trying to send such to a client but the attachment seems to refuse to appear in the email. Non-protected pdf's do not display this symptom.
How can I do this?

By "appear in the email" you mean "look like a picture"? This is just an oddity of Apple Mail; almost every other email program doesn't show PDF files, and you can't control whether Apple Mail will do so...

  • Password protect gmail in apple mail

    I was wondering if there's a way to make Apple Mail ask for the password when retrieving new mail from gmail. It always requires a password for hotmail. Not sure why there's a disparity.

    Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.  You could be missing a Mail update.  Your profile shows you are still using 10.6.7.

  • Password-protected PDFs making mail blank view of messages?

    Surreal problem that seems to have started about the same time as my 10.8.4 update (from 10.8.3): 
    Viewing the standard Mail view, with mailboxes on the left, message list for the selected mailbox in the middle, and message text in the largest pane on the right of the window; when moving through the list of messages, moving down and seeing the message texts to the right, all of a sudden, the preview pane to the right go BLANK.  And I've narrowed it down to several suspect messages that came from a regular group of business contacts who send me reports as password-protected PDFs.  I prepared a test PDF with Preview, encrypted, and used that to test the proposition that password-protected PDFs are what is 'breaking' the view of message contents in the right hand window, and it is clearly the problem.
    After I view a message with the gray password-protected preview image showing in the preview pane, switching to another message in the message list, that next message shows a normal header but the text/body of the message shows blank.  And then the next messages keep showing blank until I either:  hide and unhide the main mail window OR quit and reopen mail.  But double-clicking on any message in the list to open it properly in its own window shows it normally. 
    Rebuilding my mailboxes did not help.  Rebooting did not help. 
    Any ideas about what the heck might be going on?

    I've had the same problem on 3 computers since updating them to 10.8.4
    I don't think many will find this thread as most will search for threads relating to 10.8.4
    It only happens to my mail after viewing a message that contains a password protected pdf.  If I don't open emails that contain the pdfs mail works perfectly, but once I've clicked on a message that contains a pdf every email turns blank.  Mac mail & POP accounts.  I can double-click the email to have it viewable in a new window but still can't open the pdfs. I get password protected pdfs regularly for work.
    They're standard drives, no partitioning.
    I've tried the "sandbox" suggestion with no joy.  & I've also tried removing junk filtering which is a suggestion on another thread.
    I don't think I'm up to re-installing 10.8.3 so I've been using a browser for emails.

    I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
    Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

  • Is there any way to send some one a password protected pdf that only they can access/view with a password?

    Is there any way to send some one a password protected pdf that only they can access/view with a password?
    Thanks!

    Hi wonderingtoday,
    Yes, you can! If you have Acrobat, you can assign an "Open Password" to the PDF, so that only people who have that password can open the PDF. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,

  • Can't open password protected PDF files.

    As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
    I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
    I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
    Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

  • How to open a password-protected PDF in Safari on iPad(3)?

    I have some password-protected PDFs available on my public-facing website (hosted by MS Office365) that I'm unable to open in Safari on my iPad(3). When attempting to open these files using Safari on my iPad, I receive a grey screen with no presentation of the Adobe Reader "insert password" dialogue box. I do have Adobe Reader installed on my iPad. These PDFs do open on my PC with both IE9 and Safari. I can also open these PDFs on my iPad independent of using Safari. And, I have some non-password-protected PDFs on my website that open using Safari on my iPad. The problem seems to be uniquely associated with the combination of 1) a password-protected PDF, 2) Safari, and 3) the iPad(3). Does anyone have a solution to this particular situation?

  • I cannot open password protected PDF document with attachments with Adobe Reader on OS X. Crashes.

    I cannot open password protected PDF document having attachments on my OS X (v 10.8.4) with Adobe Reader X nor XI. The reader crashes. The same document using the same password opens fine on the laptop and Windows systems wheni it is fetched from a secure mail server. Why?

  • Open password protected PDF in website

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me. Greatly appreciate it.
    My website has PDF documents that's available for registered users to view online (through my site) only.
    Currently, I can't find any solutions to prevent users from downloading/"save-as" the PDF doc in their local drives, so I'm thinking of password-protecting these PDFs. This will ensure that they'd not be able to view the PDFs even though they download it and save-as local.
    However, how do I open these password-protected PDFs on my site?
    When I point/redirect to these PDFs, it will prompt for password.
    It'd defeat all protection intent if I were to give the password to the user to enter, right?
    Example:
    1. Response.Redirect("mySecuredPdf.pdf")
    2. The browser will then prompt user for password.
    What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
    I cannot remove password, because I want to prevent users from downloading and then opening it later, or redistributing the file.
    btw, i'm using ASP.NET.
    Please help.

    There's a similar thread in the Acrobat Windows section, and the answer is the same - only a DRM system with a client UI (such as Adobe Digital Editions) can restrict the *use* of a file. You cannot prevent the client downloading and saving it, as otherwise they can't see it on their screen. The page you're reading now is not on a computer at Adobe - it's on yours.
    > What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
    I think you're getting the flow a little backwards - the PDF is 'opened' by the client, using their copy of Adobe Reader (or whatever). The webserver has nothing to do with the process other than blindly sending the file's 1s and 0s down a wire, so can't do anything to directly control the client's desktop applications.

  • Password protected .pdf's always corrupted?

    My employer emails my payslips as .pdf attachments protected by a PIN. On (my old phone, a Samsung Europa/GT-I5500 running 2.2 and ) my iPhone running iOS5 these files won't open. When downloaded an error message displays saying the file is corrupt or damaged. The same file viewed on a PC or through iPhone mail will open with the PIN and is readable. Is there anyway to get the adobe reader app to open these files? For obvious reasons I'd rather not share the files.

    I don't believe that password-protected PDFs are yet supported in Reader mobile.

  • Unlocking password protected PDF

    I have Adobe Reader on my Android tablet and am unable to unlock a protected PDF document. It allows me to enter my user name and password as well as selecting the checkbox for "Remember my user name and password"
    The issue I have is that it does NOT allow me to unlock the document.
    The document is an eBook Collection textbook.
    Please advise how to resolve this issue.
    If Adobe Reader is unable to do this, is there another app for Android that would allow this?
    I have no issues unlocking the same document on using Adobe Reader on my desktop (Windows 8).
    Thank you

    Hi Bernd
    I simply unlocked the password protected pdf (which had been created in acrobat 6) by using the drop down menu from "Secure" and choosing "Remove Security", I was then asked was I sure I wanted to remove security, answered yes and bingo it had no security!
    My repro department were astounded I could do this with a trial program. My MD is alarmed and if some of our customers were aware they would be having kittens. (We do a lot of legal documents which have to be locked).
    If you send me a password protected pdf I will see if I can return it unlocked (this works with V6 created pdf's and guess it would work with others?)

  • Printing password protected pdf

    I have iPad with HP ePrint installed. I can't print password protected pdf on it but I can use HP ePrint on my Android HTC phone to print. How can I solve this?

    Hi,
    Solution: send files to HTC phone to print. iPad will always detect password protected and won't print, no crack. I don't know how HTC (or Android) can do this.
    Regards.

  • Reading password protected pdf email attachments

    When I open a password protected pdf file that was attached to an email received on my iPhone, it appears to open (accurate page count displayed top left corner) but the page is blank and I never see a prompt that asks for the password.

    I'm having the same problem, I've tried to open password protected pdf files on my iPhone, but the password screen doesn't appear. I've tried 2 different pdf reader apps from the app store. I was going to buy an iPad for reading my ebooks from college but I won't until I can get this figured out. The school says Adobe and Apple don't play well together and that is the problem. Hope someone has a work around for this.
