Unlocking secure PDFs on the Microsoft surface RT

I recently bought a Windows Surface RT and the adobe application from the market place does not let me unlock secure PDF. I am currently attending the University of Phoenix and all of our text books are Apollo E-Books that are secured by protectedpdf password management. I was wondering if there will be patches for the windows RT platform that will fix this issue? If these patches are expected to occur, in what time frame wold I be looking at?

If you had an Intel-based desktop machine, laptop, or tablet, you could install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with the traditional Windows UI) and open the DRM-protected PDF documents from University of Phoenix.

Unfortunately, Adobe Reader XI does not run on Microsoft Surface with Windows RT.  (More Intel-based tablets from Microsoft, Samsung, HP, Dell, etc. running Windows 8 will be released this year.)  Currently, Adobe Reader for mobile devices (iOS, Android, and Windows tablets) cannot open the DRM-protected PDF documents from University of Phoenix using the third-party technology called Vitrium's Protectedpdf due to the lack of full JavaScript support.

  • Unlocking secure pdf

    Hello
    I am wondering if Adobe is working on the ability to unlock secure pdf documents on mobile devices like the Motorola Xoom?

    Currently, Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8 does not support DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected PDF documents and eBooks from schools and libraries.
    It would require significant development time and resource to support a proprietary (non-Adobe) form of protection (as opposed to the protection built into the PDF language).  Since Adobe Reader Touch is a relatively new product and the team is fairly small, adding the support will not happen in a short period of time.  In fact, Adobe Reader for iOS and Android (which have been available in the market much longer than Adobe Reader Touch) have not supported eBooks yet.
    Because a Surface RT tablet runs the Windows RT operating system (as opposed to the Windows 8 operating system), your options for viewing eBooks from your school may be severely limited.  Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) is not compatible with the Windows RT operating system, either.

  • Is there a work-around to enable Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro ????

    Is there a way to use Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro?
    As I understand the problem  DPP is unable detect the screen resolution of the tablet ( the defauilt res of the tablet
    is 1920 x1080) with a minimum of 1024 x768.
    It would be usful if one could type in your working screen res into at startup if that's the only problem
    ___I've looked at other screen drivers from Intell but I realize if I could install thrm I'de lose the touch functionallity
    Are there any other ideas out there???
    Thanks  artB

    Canon DPP is Canon provided application for desktop/laptop computers and they don't have a version for any tablets as far as I'm aware (not even iOS or Android versions).
    But there are other photo editing programs that would work.  I have an iPad.  While Apple has their own photo software (which isn't going to work on a Windows tablet) Adobe has an app called PS Touch.  
    PS Touch isn't nearly as full featured as Photoshop.  It limits the image resolution (it resizes any images that you import to it so they don't exceed the max resolution) but it does have most of the commonly used adjustments.  So if a person were just trying to get something out, it works in a pinch.
    One other catch is that PS Touch can't deal with RAW images... so it's JPEG only.  But I can import JPEGs off the card into the iPad and then edit them -- not as well as I can if they're on a regular computer, but this is what I'ved when I'm away for a weekend with my camera.

  • Signing pdf dokuments with the Microsoft Surface pen. How to make the signature a non-editable part of the file?

    Hi!
    I have purchased a Microsoft Surface PRO 3. One main reason for the purchase is to sign pdf´s with the Surface-pen on the screen, save the file and avoid paper-printing the documents. Problem is however that the signature doesnt become a solid part of the document when saving it. This makes the signatures randomly not visible on some apple-produkcts, some printers etc.
    I use only a free-download-version of the Adobe reader.My question is if a pro-version allow me to save the documents with the electronic signatures as a fixed part of the document - like the rest of the pdf-content?
    Regards Trygve Wedset 

    Hi vward26,
    You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.
    Kindly refer this FAQ:http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/how-to-convert-just-part-of-a-pdf-file/

  • How do I open multiple PDF windows on microsoft Surface?

    How do I open multiple windows on microsoft Surface? I'm a grad student and would like to have multiple PDF windows open or availible while I use Microsoft Word. Is this possible?

    Other user asked a similar question a couple days ago - except the question was in French and the other app was Microsoft Excel (not Word).
    Please see the option (b) for running two apps side by side in this post.

    It may not be an ideal solution for you.  But this may be the only option you have if your device is running the Windows RT operating system.  You can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app) if your device is running the Windows 8 operating system.

  • Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

    I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it.  I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches.  I created a new file and started sketching.  I Immediately felt like something was wrong.  I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available.  Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point. 
    Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing?  I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen.  I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

    Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
    and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
    I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
    what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
    there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
    also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
    anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
    thanks!

  • Unlock Security Code of the device

    I have a problem with a Blackberry Torch.
    I use a security code for the device, now i have try 8 times the correct code acces, but the phone don't accept this code.
    How can i unlock the phone?
    Thx!

    If you remember the password write it down, make sure you are putting the characters correctly, at the last instance it will wipe all data from your device. You can wait for some time, do a battery pull and check if it starts from 2/10. Chances are you are making a small mistake. If you have all your data backed up you can proceed till eht security wipe. The device password is not recoverable if forgotten as a security measure.

  • Can we access CM 14.0.2 on the Microsoft Surface Pro 3? It will have Microsoft 8.1 Pro on it.

    My name is Cynthia and I work for Chicago Public Schools. We have approximately 400 users of the Primavera CM system. We've had challenges along the way with compatibility issues, but now here's a question I don't have an answer to.
    Is the Surface Pro 3 any different and what are the Java requirements?

    Hi Cynthia, Unfortunately CM 14.0.x has not been tested/certified against Win 8.1 as a web app server. Also there is no certification for integrating CM with MS Surface Pro. For more further information, please submit a SR within CM tech support. Regards, Matías G. Uribe.
