Seving Security Presets for PDF's

I'm attempting to create a preset for PDF Export's that includes security settings (password, etc.) However, when I set the appropriate security settings, and save the preset, none of the security settings are being saved.
Am I to understand that this simply means that security savings cannot be saved in a preset? I'm using InDesign CS3 on a Mac.

You should be able to set up a Batch Sequence in Acrobat Pro or Professional.
In Acrobat Pro or Professional, choose Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing. Click New Sequence. Give it a name and click OK. In the Edit Batch Sequence dialog, choose Select Commands, and choose Document > Security, the click Add. Select Security in the list, and click Edit. Double-click on Security, and choose your Security Method. If you choose Password Security, the Password Security settings dialog will appear. Set them, and click OK. When finished with the Security sequence, choose when the sequence will be run, and the output location.
To run the batch sequence, choose Advanced Document > Document Processing > Batch Processing. Select the batch sequence you created, and choose Run Sequence.

  • Forgotten security password for PDF scans

    Is there a way I can unlock my pdf scans? I set security to stop page extraction from a group of pdf scans done years ago and I have now forgotten the password to use to edit them.
    I now maintain a list of passwords but long ago did not. I'm guessing I saved it somewhere but haven't had success locating the password. Thought this might be a shot at being able to edit them.
    I set the files to function at Acrobat v6 and above, if that is any help.
    My thanks,

    Not with any Adobe products, and other products are not discussed on these forums...

  • How to save print setup for pdf file so that every user can open and print w/o manually performing?

    Can is there a way to configure the print settings (i.e. paper size, orientation, etc.) and save this setting as part of the pdf file? I would like the users of pdf files to be able to open the file and simply print, without having to manually configure the print settings.

    Not sure if this will help. I got this information from the built-in help under Acrobat 9.
    Advanced
    Lists PDF settings, print dialog presets, and reading options for the document.In the PDF settings for Acrobat, you can set a base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for web links in the document. Specifying a base URL makes it easy for you to manage web links to other websites. If the URL to the other site changes, you can simply edit the base URL and not have to edit each individual web link that refers to that site. The base URL is not used if a link contains a complete URL address.
    You can also associate a catalog index file (PDX) with the PDF. When the PDF is searched with the Search PDF window, all of the PDFs that are indexed by the specified PDX file are also searched.
    You can include prepress information, such as trapping, for the document. You can define print presets for a document, which prepopulate the Print dialog box with document-specific values. You can also set reading options that determine how the PDF is read by a screen reader or other assistive device.
    Create print presets
    A PDF can contain a set of print presets, a group of document-specific values that is used to set basic print options. By creating a print preset for a document, you can avoid manually setting certain options in the Print dialog box each time you print the document. It’s best to define print settings for a PDF at the time that you create it, but print presets provide a means to add basic print settings to a PDF at any time.
    Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced tab.
    In the Print Dialog Presets section, set options and click OK.
    The next time you open the Print dialog box, the values will be set to the print preset values. These settings are also used when you print individual documents in a PDF Portfolio.
    Note: To retain a print preset for a PDF, you must save the PDF after creating the print preset.
    Print Dialog Presets
    Page Scaling
    Prepopulates the Page Scaling option in the Print dialog box with the option you choose:
    Default
    Uses the application default setting, which is Shrink To Printable Area.
    None
    Prevents automatic scaling to fit the printable area. This setting is useful for preserving the scale of page content in engineering documents, or for ensuring that documents print at a particular point size to be legal.
    DuplexMode
    For best results, the selected printer should support duplex printing if you select a duplex option.
    Simplex
    Prints on one side of the paper.
    Duplex Flip Long Edge
    Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the long edge.
    Duplex Flip Short Edge
    Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the short edge.
    Paper Source By Page Size
    Selects the option by the same name in the Print dialog box. Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather than the page setup option. This option is useful for printing PDFs that contain multiple page sizes on printers that have different-sized output trays.
    Print Page Range
    Prepopulates the Pages box in the Print Range section of the Print dialog box with the page ranges you enter here. This setting is useful in a workflow where documents include both instruction pages and legal pages. For example, if pages 1–2 represent instructions for filling out a form, and pages 3–5 represent the form, you can set up your print job to print multiple copies of only the form.
    Number Of Copies
    Prepopulates the Copies box in the Print dialog box. Choose a number from 2 to 5, or choose Default to use the application default, which is one copy. This limitation prevents multiple unwanted copies from being printed.
    Thanks.

  • Security Issues with PDF's

    Hello All,
    I have Adobe Acrobate 9 Pro. When a document is scanned by me or someone else a number of features are "grayed out." For instance, I have a 14 page document scanned by a colleague and when I go to Document>Extract pages to Rotate Pages is grayed out. I checked the security settings for the document and all restrictions are allowed on the document. When it is opened by other people, they do not have this issue. How do I resolve this? The same thing goes for when I scan documents as well.
    If this helps, it says I am viewing this document in PDF/A mode.  Help!

    "Make searchable" doesn't affect the PDF/A status. As a short-term workaround you can select "Never" from the View documents in PDF mode: pulldown under Edit > Preferences > Documents panel.

  • 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.
    Kind regards,

  • How to create a secure & non editable PDF? So that it cannot be modified by any of the secondary too

    How to create a secure & non editable PDF? So that it cannot be modified by any of the secondary tools available online for security breaks and editing of PDF document
    I put all the security options but still there are tools to break the security (even password) leading to editing of document
    Need to avoid any such situation

    If the document is important, and there is something to be gained by modifying it - then someone will just make a new copy of it (e.g. print and scan, screen capture), and make a new document, then change it.
    If protecting the integrity of the document - proving it is unchanged - is the thing, look at digital signatures. Forget security, the signed file can be freely edited, but the signature will always show it is changed.

  • Security in Interactive PDF's

    Hi guys!
    Trying to get my head round the security measures in PDFs....
    I don't want security regarding Printing or adding content to the form fields...ie if I ask for their name they can put their name..etc
    What I want to protect is editing of the form...I don't want anyone else to be able to click on editing and change the original content of the PDF?
    What settings allow me to protect editing of the original form content?
    bookie56

    Under "Printing Allowed" select "High Resolution" and under "Changes
    Allowed" select "Filling in form fields (etc.)" or "Commenting, filling in
    form fields (etc.)".

  • Why a Black Screen for pdf files

    I can't see the opened pdf files, just get a black screen.  Help, please.  I have no Adobe plug-ins.  I have latest Mavericks software on iMac

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Security Manager for decryption is not set

    Hey,
    I am using the Livecycle virtual appliance in a test version to evaluate its features. When I decrypt an encrypted document with the java API I get an error message that says that the security manager is not set.
    Is the security Manager part of the appliance?
    How can I solve that problem?
    My Code:
            //Set connection properties required to invoke LiveCycle ES

            EncryptionServiceClient encryptClient = new EncryptionServiceClient(myFactory);

            Document unlockedDoc = encryptClient.unlockPDFUsingPassword(pdf, pdfPassword);
            return unlockedDoc;

    I think you answered your own question - the PDF is password protected therefore LC can't open it to extract the data.
    You'll have to remove the security first.  You can do that in a process by using the Common.EncryptionService.Remove PDF Password Encryption operation.
    Note that you will need the document's password to remove the security.
