Trying to modify PDF w/ no security, says it's opened as "read only to prevent modification"

what am I missing here?
The PDF in question can be found here:
http://wndw.net/
The PDF has a Creative Commons license saying I can:
"Copy, distribute and display the book. Make derivative works, including books and articles. Make commercial use of the book"
When I download and open the PDF, it is listed as having no security, but there's a blue info bar along the top in Acrobat X saying "The file you have opened complies with the PDF/A standard and has been opened read-only to prevent modification."
I actually just trying to remove any hyperlinks and color information on some of the pages so we can reduce our printing costs.
any ideas on how to open this NOT in read-only mode?

You can temporarily disable PDF/A mode in Acrobat and/or remove the PDF/A information: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2011/05/how-to-remove-pdfa-information-from-a-file/

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.

Trying to share Excel files across two Macs, opens as read only

I'm trying to edit and save an excel file using my Mac Mini with the file located on my MacBook Pro. I've set the file sharing to read + write on the MacBook Pro and have created a file sharing user account. I access the Excel folder on the MacBook Pro from the Mini, sign in with a password. The file is an Excel for Mac 2011 that was created on the MacBook Pro. I can open the file on the Mini but it opens as Read Only.
I don't understand why I can't edit and save the file back to the MacBook Pro. Any thoughts?
Thanks
DouginNC

No, don't create it.
It is created by default in Macintosh HD/Users/Shared and has special privileges. In Finder from your "Go" menu > Go to Folder > and type in /Users and press "Go"

PDF's open in Read-Only Mode

Hi,
I purchased a Windows 8 (not pro) 64bit system and installed Acrobat XI Pro, I never installed Adobe Reader. The computer and Adobe are both fully updated and I am running into the following problem.
I look for a pdf in my windows browser and when I see in the Preview Pane (which I have eneabled) Acrobat opens the PDF's but will not let me save any edits I make to them. At first this was happing to local and network files but it is not only happening to files in my network drives. I did the following to resolve the problem (which worked, but only for Local Files NOT PDF's in my Network Drives):
1. Stopped the services for all Adobe products.
2. Re-named my AcroRD32.exe to AcroRD32.OLD
3. Opened windows explorer to use Acrobat as the Previewer instead of reader.
This onlly worked for the pdf's I have saved locally, not on network drives.
I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. I receive the following error when leaving a file selected in Preview Pane and working on it simultaneously and try to save it:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I have also selected a different file in the preview pane and then tried tosave the file and it worked. (This confirmed to me that the problem was with the Preview pane, but only on PDF's saved in a network folder, not locally)
Any suggestions, answers, help? Please and thank you, I appreciate everyone's help or comments!!!!
Thank you,
tech_geezy

Oh man! I was really hoping that wasn't going to be the case! Thanks a lot man, I appreciate the help!
I'll leave this forum open for another week, maybe someone else has something experimental to try, thanks everyone!

Saved PDF files in Illustrator not showing when opened in Reader

I'm having a problem with files saved as PDFs in Illustrator, which, when opened in Reader
reveal only a blank page. Any solutions?

Thanks for your response. It doesn't seem to matter which layer is higher in the stack. I also checked that each layer was set to "print". I think the problem is on the Mathematica side --- the problem I have arises with pdf graphics generated in Mathematica 8, but not in 9. Hmm.

I have 10.9.1 OS and I have a HP deskjet 5440 scanner. I can scan anything to my computer but cannet send it anywhere. Every time I tgry to send , a box comes up saying the file may be read only. I usually try to save to desktop as pdf. Won't alln scanner

I have a similar problem. Did you ever find a solution?

PDF form text fields' options change when opened in READER on a MAC.

I created a PDF form using Adobe X PRO. All fields are UNCHECKED for Property/Options/ "scroll long text". I save and distribute the form as a "reader extended pdf/enable additional features" so it can be saved and returned using READER.
When a Mac user opens the extended form in Adobe READER, ALL the text fields change to scroll. When he returns the completed form to me, every text field, even signature and date fields, are changed to scroll text.
What is happening in the transition from PC to MAC?

Preview is the default PDF viewer on the Mac. It should never be used with PDF forms. Just let them know that they should use Adobe Reader. Provide a link or URL where it can be downloaded and let them know that it's free.
There are things you can do so that it doesn't work in Preview, but it involves some scripting. If interested in this approach, post again.

Execute "Save As" on PDF Form open, Create Read-Only

I need to create a read-only version of my form so that I can protect the original, so I thought that I could put a app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); as a new document script to force the user to save as when they open, but it seems to not be working. The file is in a shared dropbox folder, so just a simple read only is not going to work. Is there a better way to achieve what I am doing, or do I just need to change my code?

Oh man! I was really hoping that wasn't going to be the case! Thanks a lot man, I appreciate the help!

Acrobat X - unable to modify PDFs created in Acrobat 8

I just installed Acrobat X. I had Word documents that I had previously turned into PDFs and using Acrobat 8 I added comments, hightlights, etc.
Now with Acrobat X when I open one of those PDFs, I get the informational message at the top "The file you have opened complies with the PDF/A standard and has been opened read-only to prevent modification".
Now what? During the install of Acrobat X, Acrobat 8 was uninstalled.

You can either remove the PDF/A status from the file by preflighting it in Acrobat X Pro, or disable PDF/A View Mode under your general preferences (Edit / Preferences / Documents). The latter should only be done temporarily, as PDF/A documents are displayed differently than normal files, and the View Mode ensures they work as intended (though the side-effect is a read-only view).
To clear the PDF/A header with Preflight, open the Tools Pane, Print Production panel (if it's not visible, choose it from the corner menu) and click Preflight. Under "PDF/A Compliance" run the "Remove PDF/A information" fixup by clicking "Analyze and fix" and save the file. Nothing else about it will be changed.

My Time machine has stopped backing up saying there are some read only files.

My Time machine has stopped backing up and says that ther are some read only files preventing this. What steps do I need to take to fix it?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Printing a modifiable pdf with long answers.

I’m trying to print out a modifiable pdf which has several answers too long to be read on screen without scrolling.
Would be happy to subscribe to the pdf to Word or Excel export service if I knew it would create a file containing complete printable answers, not just what appears before scrolling.
Hope that makes sense… also, if there is another way to accomplish that, please let me know.
Thanks.

I am not sure the contents of the fields would copy over to WORD. You could export the data to an Excel file or such and that might provide what you need. I think it will give the field name and the data.

Is it possible to circumvent read-only after a pdf has been signed?

Hi, my pdf has a signature field. In the signed event I have make all fields read-only. Is it possible for someone to come along and make them not read-only anymore? It seems the easiest way to make my document tamper-proof. Thank you.

goodprogramming wrote:
It's not the file that is set to read-only at the OS level. The signature field has an event for signed. Once that occurs I have the checkbox selected that says mark all fields as read-only. I want to be sure it is really read-only and that there is no way to make it non-read-only.
save as does not change the read onlyness of the pdf. I have tried this.
It shouldn't matter.
Making changes to the file after the signature is added will invalidate the signature. You'll know someone has been messing around if the sig is invalidated.
Even if you have a reason to do what you want, you can't. At least not without a very expensive Digital Rights Management solution plus a server to run it.

Acrobat X: browser plug-in always opens PDFs as read-only

Hi all
I have just installed the trial of Acrobat Pro X on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit PC. Prior to this I uninstalled other PDF software (Acrobat 7 and Foxit Reader).
The problem is that the setting in Acrobat preferences to NOT open PDFs in my browser as read-only seems to have no effect.
Specifically the setting is at Edit > Preferences > Internet > Web browser options > Display in read mode by default
Whether this is checked or unchecked, PDFs viewed in either browser on my PC (IE8 or Firefox 3) are opened in read-only mode. One very inconvenient consequence of this is that I cannot annotate PDFs in my browser.
I tried running Acrobat as administrator and changing the setting, but this similarly had no effect.
I expect I will be met by a wall of silence if I attempt to get help about this from Adobe as a lowly trial user -- but it's crucial to deciding whether I want to buy the upgrade to Acrobat X. Can anyone reproduce the issue?
Thanks...

That option is nothing to do with the PDF being editable, it's to control the display of the toolbars. "Reading Mode" is when the toolbars are hidden and the black head-up display navigation bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
PDFs displayed within a web browser with Acrobat/Reader X are not editable, nor can you apply markups, unless you're within a browser-based-review workflow. You have to save a copy locally and open it in desktop mode to make any changes.

Read only error message when trying to save updates in Acrobat 10.6.3

Hello
Hopefully I'm missing something obvious here but when I try to edit a PDF in Acrobat 10.6.3 I receive a read only error message, I have been using 'Save As' and tweaking the name each time but this seems to be a clumsy way to go about a simple save.
I am on a network and have read a previous thread that explained Adobe can sometimes be flakey on networks for saving PDFs.
Any suggestion gratefully received.

You may be stuck with copying the files locally and editing and then copying back to the network drive. I am not good with networks, but have noticed posts about network problems over the years -- often focused on specific networks. The solution is typically to deal with the PDFs locally and then copy to the network. In creating PDFs, it seems that some of the results had to do with the TMP folder usage, but I have no clue why.
As far as AA 10.6.3, you must have a cloud version or something. The latest AA is 10.1.7.
