Stamps being removed after securing the pdf document

I'm having a problem with the whitebox stamps that I use to white out names on a pdf being removed after the document is secured through a custom batch process. After insterting the stamps that white out what I want I save the document and when I open it again the white box stamps are still there. Once I secure the same document and open it the stamps are removed. Other computers using the same batch process and version of acrobat do not have this issue.
Any theories would be much appreciated.

So I have installed Acrobat 8.0 Pro and used the redaction tool which for some reason was keeping a line showing of the white box I was trying to use to remove some content. Also I put the batch process I was using to secure the document doesn't show up when I go into the Batch Processing menu, neither do any of the default ones show up. It just has an option to create a new process.

Security settings to not allow Changing the PDF Document

I'm trying to create PDFs where users can do anything they wish to the PDF document including Document Assembly but not Changing the Document (i.e. modifying the original text).
Looking at the security settings in Acrobat, I can't seem to find an option that would only limit Changing the Document and nothing else. Is there a way this can be done?

> In how we're going to end up using the secured document - no.
But in the way that Acrobat views it - yes.
I suppose you could "try" to outline the text before PDFing it. Whether you can do that will depend on what application you are using to create the original document.

Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

After Effects error: There was an error processing the PDF document.

I have been struggling with this problem ever since CS4 was installed.
I have the CS4 Mac Master Collection.
I am using Illustrator to create text for animation in After Effects.
I can create text in Illustrator and import it into After Effects fine. But when I go to make a change to
the Illustrator file, even as simple as changing a color, I get this error.
After Effects error: There was an error processing the PDF document. The file may be damaged or corrupt. (50::29)
The Illustrator file is then toast as far as After Effects is concerned. It cannot be opened or reimported.
I have to start over again and over again, rebuilding the Illustrator file each time.
HELP!!!

This is an issue with AI and ultimately therefore also the AI routines that AE shares to access such files. Has been there forever and neither the AI people nor the AE team seem to be able to fix it in a consistent manner. Simply save a copy of the file from AI, then use Replace Footage instead of reload or at least always fully reload the AE project.

The above was truncated and garbled a bit and I can't figure out how to edit it. So just to repeat the question a bit more clearly: "I'm using Acrobat XI on Windows. I want to add my company's logotype as a watermark to a PDF document.

It will be positioned on the PDF document on a light, uniform yellowish color, which I want to show through. I want it to look as thought the logotype was stamped directly on the document. Thanks.

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders . How to disable this? Does my PC folders are also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders as well with a browsing option . How to disable this? Does my PC folders will also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi indi68632954,
I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
I hope this will answer your query.
In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,

Why can't I open PDF files on my iMac. I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license, as instructed then quit the application and relaunched it and I still can't view the PDF document. The screen comes out black. Please advice. Thanks

Why can I view PDF files from the Web on my iMac even after I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license agreement.I then quit the application relaunched it, as instructed snd still the PDF document comes out blank or black. Please advice. Thanks

Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

After load the pdf in this program, what commands must follow to make the correction (edit),

if you use
http://www.doc2pdf.net/
you can convert doc >> pdf.
I did try with some samples of files but, in some pages where a subheading is in eg page45, in pdf moved to page44, well to modify the pdf so is exact alignment like doc I must use ACROBAT? Well, conversions from this site must done non-restrict modify the pdf? well since I have Acrobat Pro 9, after load the pdf in this program, what commands must follow to make the correction (edit), and save the file?

Unfortunately, for your endeavor, PDF is not a file format that supports edit-layout-format activities such as are in word processors.
Not an "issue" - rather, it reflects what PDF was/is designed to be.
While minor editing ("touchups") are possible extensive editing of PDF content is not.
What you appear to have encounterd with the process used to convert something to PDF is something that happens rather too often.
That is, many non-Adobe PDF creation processes to not provide "proper" PDF.
Which is to say PDF built to the Adobe PDF References or, now, the ISO Standard for PDF (32000-1:2008).
As you have Acrobat Pro perhaps using it to convert the document's authoring file to PDF via print to Distiller or via Adobe PDFMaker is something to consider. These convert to PDF per the PDF References/ISO Standard.

Issue while Signing and Encrypting the PDF Document.

Hello,
I am developing one component in VC++(MFC) which signs and encrypts the pdf documents.
When i sign and encrypt pdf document using my component, I am getting following error while opening the document in Adobe Acrobat
Error during signature verification
Unexpected byte range values defining scope of signed data.
Details: The signature byte range is invalid
But if i open that document in binary mode and calculate the byte range its looking correct.
The Process for signing and encrypting the PDF document is as follows :
1)Prepare the PDF document for signing (Add Annotation objects,n0,n2
layers,create blank signature field,new xref section etc.)
2)Encrypt the whole document(Password based encryption).
3)Put the ByteRange values.
4)Write the signature in blank signature field.
If i just perform encryption(128 bit RC4 Algorithm) on the pdf document its working fine.Only after adding the signature objects i am getting above error.I think it means something is wrong in signature related objects,but i am not able to recognize the exact problem.
So what can be the issue?
Please Help
Thanks in Advance
Priyanka

Is there a free software to remove watermark from a pdf document?

What are the free softwares to remove watermark from a PDF document ?

No. The watermark is placed there by the owner of the document. Contact them. If you are perhaps referring to watermarks that appear on scanned documents, you need to purchase the scanning program to remove those. In as much as your information is pretty sparse that's all I can advise you on.

Open secured adobe pdf documents

Adobe Reader Touch does not support protected/encrypted PDF documents yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Adobe Reader XI Pro does not recognize Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FD. I can not edit the PDF documents that I scan it. What do I do?

We need to find out what you actually have here. There is no Adobe Reader Pro. There is Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
With Acrobat Pro, you may be able to do some editing after running OCR. With Adobe Reader, you cannot edit.
Which one do you have?

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?
