Unlock PDF for editing: any good non-online software?

My users are dealing with a lot of PII and I don't want them to send these PDFs to these online websites in order for them to get unlocked.
They all have Adobe Acrobat on their machines but I am pretty sure that you cannot unlock a document to editing with that.
Any good software you guys recommend on getting?
Thanks!!!

Retrieve lost password or unlock PDF for editing

I work for a group and we are in the process of having to update our operating procedures with large disclaimers but all the PDFs are password locked. The group has a high turnover rate and no one who is with the group currently seems to know what the password is or who set it up. Is there any way to retrieve this password or to get an over ride and unlock the PDFs?

There are ways yes. Adobe security is mostly honored by Adobe products.
I will not recommend and app to do this on the Adobe forums (plus some could contain malware so I don't want to refer you to them) but I'm sure Google could help you out.

Opening a PDF for editing from a website

I am new to Adobe Acrobat and need to know what is required in order to place an editable PDF on a website for editing without downloading to the local computer? I am working on a rush project that has 7 pdf files with fields that need to be accessed online for editing. When I upload to website and open, they open locally. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Janice

What sort of edting are you talking about, and what do you want to do with the documents after they're edited?
If you just want the PDF to open in Acrobat, you have to configure it be selecting: Edit > Preferences > Internet > Display PDF in browser

Is "IBM VisualAge For Java" any good ?

Considering getting IBM's VAJ for our systems development team.
I just thought I'd get peoples thoughts on it. All comments welcome !

VAJ works just fine as long as you give it enough
memory. But make sure you get training for your team,
because its online help is almost totally useless.I would definitely agree with that. VAJ has a lot of nice features, but it also has a lot of things that can be really annoying, esp if you haven't had the training.
My biggest annoyance with it is that I can't get my hands on the source code without exporting it. You can kind of work around this by using the source view, but the source view won't tell you where/if there are "doh!" type compile errors--you need to look at the workbench. And you can't see line numbers, so if you get a stack trace with a line number you can't just scroll to it. (You can hit CTRL-G to pop up a dialog to jump to it, though.)
I also haven't gotten the PVCS integration to work right yet, which makes check out-edit-check in a hassle. It supposedly works, but when you're in a development mode it's hard to find time to play with your tools. =^p

New macbook owner - any good free burning software?

Hello,
I'm wondering if there are any good freeware options for burning software - a package to duplicate dvds/cds (audio and data) and burn files to a disc.
Thanks in advanced
MacBook 2.0 Ghz 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

i use Toast (but you have to pay)
a REALLY good freeware application is liquid CD
it lets you burn disk images, copy disks, burn music, data etc.
Its a really great software, and what makes it even better, IT'S FREE!

Please help!!! I locked my pdf for editing then signed it now cannot unlock to make changes

Using adobe acrobat professional 6.0, I made comments on a pdf then went to the security icon to lock the pdf. I accidently forgot to choose to allow commenting. I then signed the pdf.
Now when i try to edit the pdf. it tells me i must clear all signature fields, but when i right click on the signature field there is no choice to clear or delete. i think its because in the changes allowed box i left it as none. does anyone know how i can get the option to clear my signature field and re enter my password so that i can edit this pdf.

Hi,
If you have access to the private key (the digital ID) that was used to create the signature then Acrobat should let you clear it. The only exception is, if the signature field properties were set to lock on signing (this is different then the No Changes Allowed setting on the sign dialog).

Word & Excel for Mac - any good?

I took a while to adapt from Word to Pages, but now I'm perfectly happy and the Mac is the best thing ever... whole different planet to microsoft and windoze.
However, I've been given Microsoft Office Mac: Home & Student edition as a Christmas present. I'm not convinced I need it because whenever I get an Excel document I find I can open it in Numbers, and if I then need to send it back to someone who only uses windows I can 'export' the Numbers document to Excel. Same thing applies to Pages, I can export the documents to Word.
I have two reservations about installing this software - one is that I simply don't need it, and the other is that I'm afraid it will mess up my system. That may be completely unjustified but in my previous PC experience just about any change seemed to mess up the way I had things, and was perfectly happy with, so I'm naturally resistant to change.
Please can someone tell me if there is any real need for me to have this software - things I may not have thought of... and what the likelihood is that it will impact on the smooth running of my system if I do install it.

Thanks! I won't be able to put off installing it much longer - hubby bought me it and he's mentioned a few times that I haven't installed it yet. It crossed my mind that we could return it to the shop if I don't need it, but I don't want to hurt his feelings, so would need a good reason (like you lot saying it might cause problems, for example!).
Really, I just wondered if it is likely to cause any problems if I install it, and also if there is something I haven't thought of that might actually make it a good thing to have.
There is a huge amount of things you can do in MS Office but not in iWork. However, whether you actually need those things depends entirely on you.
One thing is that sharing complicated documents with PC users usually is easier with MS Office. But then, if your documents usually are simple and straightforward, or you rarely share documents with PS users, then that argument goes away.

App Guide for Florence - any good ones?

I'm going to Florence and looking for a good App Guide for this wonderful city. There are quite a few in the App Store - but I'm looking for one that at least has a map with ALL the street names. I know there are some apps which has only approx 70% of the names, and the smaller streets are left out. Not an option for me.
Any advice will be most appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Tom,
Thank you for this, I'll check them out. Are you using it?

Norton antivirus 12 for lion any good?

I know in the past Nortion antivirus software was as ruinious to a mac performance as the virus you are trying to avoid.
Is the new anti virus internet security 5 & antivirus12 designed for Lion, actually work now, without a HUGH performance hit?

Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware that affects an up-to-date Mac OS system takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav — nothing else.

Any good Financial organization software?

Hello All,
After switching to a Mac Mini from a Gateway, my friend is worried about not having access to Quicken Pro becuase it isnt made for Mac. Do any of you know of any software that is just as good if not better for things such as Reconciling and Balancing Checkbooks?
Thanks so much,
Erik

Well, depending on specific requirements, two packages to consider are Quicken Essentials, and iBank.
I know iBank, which is designed for Macs, has a free trial package available at their website
http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibank/
(I have no financial interest in either Quicken (Intuit) or iBank (IGG).)

Is there any good categorization/tagging software?

I want to make a list of movies, tag them based on genre, and be able to search the tags (like in iTunes). I make a lot of lists, and being able to tag them all would help a lot in schoolwork and so on. Does anyone know of a good user-friendly program or perhaps website that can do this?

I like ZumoCast.
