Unable to add watermarks to Acrobat 7 files

Hi,
As of the other day, I am suddenly getting the message:
'You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this task' when I try to add a watermark to a PDF file. There is no security on the file and I have tried uninstalling all Acrobat products and reinstalling but I still get the same message. Has anyone come across this before? Do you think it's an Acrobat problem or something to do with my user profile?

The PDF is created in Microsoft Word 2003 using the PDFmaker macro.

  • Error Code: unable to add document

    I trying to add a PDF file to ADE, but when I try to add it to the library, I receive an error code saying"unable to add document". The PDF file is a library book.

    Okay. There might be one issue if the form is corrupted or due to some bad scripts it may happen. What's your default program for opening PDF? Is it Acrobat Pro/ Adobe reader? By default if you have Acrobat Pro then PDF will open in Acrobat Pro. Try to uninstall and instal again Acrobat. But before doing that do one thing. Set the default application for opening PDF to Adobe Reader. And try to preview the form. If it does not workout then first uninstal and instal Adobe Reader first. If it does not workout Uninstal and instal Acrobat Pro.
    Thanks,

  • Can i add watermarks to PDF files using the PDF Pack?

    Can i add watermarks to PDF files using the PDF Pack?

    Hi Susannah,
    Adobe PDF Pack does not allow you to edit a PDF file. For that, you would need Acrobat. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days: see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Why, after disabling all add-ons to correct a problem with Norton, am I unable to re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396, even though all 7 applications in the "Containing Folder" are enabled?

    mynortonaccount.com web page began coming up whenever I would go on line. Norton email support gave me steps to follow using my Firefox browser, in the safe mode, to disable all add-ons and reset user preferences to Firefox defaults.
    Since then, although trying about 15 times, I have been unable to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396 so that it functions.
    From the "Re-initializing the plugins database" article, and progressing to the "Open Containing Folder," but unable to select File and Exit menu, I did locate "Adobe Acrobat" version 10.0.0.396
    which showed all seven applications "enabled." This problem is with Firefox only. Internet Explorer functions normally.

    If you want adobe acrobat pdf files to open in firefox you need an acrobat plugin, have you checked that is installed and enabled.

  • File Sharing - External Drive - Unable to add user

    Hello,
    I am trying to share a folder within an external firewire drive. However, when in the "File Sharing" section, I am unable to add users after adding the folder to the "Shared Folders:". The add user dialog appears, but when a user is selected and the "Select" button is clicked, the user does not appear in "Users:".
    The external drive is formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with an Apple Partition Map.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    try adding this user from finder rather than fro system preferences. select this folder in finder and enter command+i. in the resulting popup go to the permissions section and add the user you want.

  • Unable to add aspx file to document library using REST and JSOM in SharePoint Hosted App

    Hi,
    I am unable to add an aspx file to document library.  I was actually trying to create a WIKI page and upload to Pages library but that wasn't working so I tried simple document library.  It keeps failing with Access Denied error.  I have checked
    the blocked types and aspx is not included.  I can upload it directly from the browser so that shouldn't be the case.  I have read that it can be achieved with CSOM but I need this to work with a SharePoint Hosted App.  Here is my JSOM:
    factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);
        context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
        appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
        oWeb = appContextSite.get_web();
        oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
        fileCreateInfo = new SP.FileCreationInformation();
        fileCreateInfo.set_url("mywiki.aspx");
        fileCreateInfo.set_content(new SP.Base64EncodedByteArray());
        fileContent = "<%@ Page Inherits=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.TemplateRedirectionPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~TemplatePageUrl\"
    %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~masterurl/custom.master\" %>";
        for (var i = 0; i < fileContent.length; i++) {
            fileCreateInfo.get_content().append(fileContent.charCodeAt(i));
        newFile = oList.get_rootFolder().get_files().add(fileCreateInfo);
        context.load(newFile);
        context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
            alert('yo');
        }, function (sender, args) {
            alert(args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
    If I change the file extension to "txt", it works.  Same with REST implementation, it works with "txt" but fails with "aspx".  Maybe what I am trying to do will not work using JSOM or REST.  Any suggestions?  Your
    help is always appreciated.

    Your code works fine in both my on-premises and SharePoint Online. I have given the app full control, so I suspect this is a permissions issue. I would check your permissions on your appmanifest. Must be something to do with publishing permissions. Try
    giving full control and work the permissions down.

    to database,

    I can.  This is a bug you are seeing we will have fixed in a future release.  You are working in a "Local" form (not an online form) and that "Add submit button" should not be shown at all, that is only for an online form.  If you move your form online when signed in, then it would have a Submit button automatically in Web View and in Page View would be able to be turned on and off.
    Thanks,

  • Why do file sizes change when I use "Process Multiple Images" to add watermarks?

    Hi,
    I'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
    I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
    But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
    Regards,
    /Mikael Lindgren

    Or you can uncheck the convert files box to save them in their original format, or select one of the lossless formats PSD, BMP, TIF. What is most appropriate depends on what you intend to do with the watermarked versions.

  • Acrobat hangs when trying to add watermark

    Just discovered the watermark function of Acrobat Pro today as I needed to add watermarks to several documents. However, as soon as I start to add text or manipulate the options in any way, the program hangs and takes a long time to catch up. Eventually, the program hangs until I force close it. This happens the same for single page and multiple page documents. Working with 24"x36" pages, from 250KB to 2MB. My PC seems to be in good working condition with no background activity. Any suggestions?

  • Windows 2008 R2 - Unable to add additional adm files + error: Objects.reference

    I am running a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal server with Zenworks 10 on it. I am
    trying to create a windows policy group for it, but when I go to add the MS
    office adm files, they never add. If I run gpedit.msc locally, I am able to
    add them. Also when I am done editing the policy before the upload I get
    the following error:
    Objects.reference not set to an instance of an object. at
    novell.Zenworks.PolicyHandlers.WindowsGroupPolicyP lural.GPHelper.ExportGPSettings()
    I have everything patched, any help would be appreciated.

    I don't want to go into the "Why's" too much, but these intermittent
    issues were seen prior to ZCM 10.3.0
    The decision was made to Remove Support for the 64-bit Platform for
    modifying GPOs. This was added to the documentation and the ZCC was
    supposed to block you. For some reason, the ZCC does not block you but
    starting in ZCM 11 it does. So technically there is a bug that it does
    not block you.
    There are also on-going plans to correct the 64-bit Platform support but
    I do not know when that will happen. At this point, I don't think
    adding the support back in is planned in any of the minor point updates.
    There should not be any reason why editing the GPO on a 32-Bit machine
    would not work on a 32-bit machine.
    Oddly, it seems to work most of the time from 64-bit Operating Systems.
    I have never had an issue with 64-bit Operating systems until I tried it
    with ZCM 11 and I was blocked.
    This led me to research the issue where I discovered the details above.
    Since many ZCM 10.3.x customers may have never had an issue and will not
    realize it was not supported until they get to ZCM 11, more calls may
    get generated to increase the priority of the issue but at this time I
    would not expect a quick addition of 64-bit OS support for editing policies.
