What is a PDF password?

What is  PDF password and  how do I generate one?  I try to open a PDF photo file in Elements 11 and it says I need a password.  I have no idea what this is.

You don't need to generate one. The person who created the PDF set it up to require a password to open it. You will need to contact whoever created it to get the password in order to view it.

  • PDF password

    I know i must be thick, but can anyone out there in the real world please tell my how on god's earth do i find a stupid PDF password so i can open a simple file that after 3 months of trying it MAY! be able to assist me in doing the most simplest of task's? I bought a Canon 5d II from a guy and he is registered as the author and HIS name comes up as copywrite of my work, and all i want to do is go on line and change it over into my name. So Canon has given me some info on what to download, but guess what? I can't open it because i need a PDF password. I did'nt get a disc with the camera, and adobe can't help me because there are no real people out there to talk to, and YES! i am VERY FRUSTRATED.
    Can anyone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.

    Eddy,
    As this appears to be the same problem, posted in this Ps General Discussions thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6151131#6151131
    I will Lock this duplicate post, so that all discussion can continue in that other thread, to avoid much confusion. It is also a very good idea to ONLY post of a single problem once. You might have to be patient, until a user comes along with help, but that is the nature of the Adobe Forums - they are mostly user-to-user.
    Good luck,

  • AirPrint and pdf password protected file issue

    Hello
    I'm facing issue while printing pdf password protected file via Airprint.
    From my iPhone /iPad I can print without any issue to my HP dj 2540 almost everything except pdf password protected file.
    The same pdf file (protected with password) can be printed without any issue form any PC/laptop.
    Do anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue, please?
    Thanks
    regards

    It seems that everyone asking this question have links from Grand Canyon University which will soon have over a 100,000 online students that all use ebooks that open just fine in Adobe Acrobat on their PCs BUT NOT on the mobile versions of Adobe Acrobat. Whatever allows this on PCs needs to be added to the mobile version soon.  We rely on our etextbooks that can ONLY be opened on the PC version of Acrobat.  That is ridiculous.  I can't believe with all the posts regarding password protected ebooks on this forum....that it hasn't been resolved.  No one can give you a link because the ebooks are on a website that needs a password.  We can save the books to our harddrives/dropbox...  I could send you a copy, but thats it.  Surely someone at Adobe knows what the hell is going on and can test the problem out themselves?

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.

  • What is a PDF Portfolio? | Learn Acrobat X | Adobe TV

    This video explains how to create a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/yLb9tW

    This video has the title "What is a PDF portfolio?", but instead of starting with a brief explanation of what is a PDF portfolio, it goes right into describing actions which I assume go to making such a portfolio.
    This problem of skipping initial basic explanations permeates the computer world.  People who makes these videos jump over the explanations that people who want to learn don't know.

  • I cannot open PDF files in Photoshop Elements as it is asking for a PDF Password?

    I cannot open PDF files in Photoshop Elements as it is asking for a PDF Password?

    Is it possible that the creator of the files set a password? That's usually the only time PSE asks for one, although you may be able to open the file just fine in a pdf program that isn't password-aware.

  • How can I tell what resolution a PDF is?

    Hi. Can anyone please tell me how to tell what resolution a PDF is? Thanks in advance.

    PDF files are not images, but vector-based documents. They don't have a
    single resolution. They can contain images with varying resolution settings.

  • Create a PDF contact sheet - What is the PDF preset?

    Hello
    When I create contact sheet, it creats a pdf but I don't understand what is the pdf preset.

    thanks

    You're practically answering your own question, Shlomit.  Those are InDesign "presets", unrelated to Bridge. 
    In Bridge you can create Page Presets and define the "Quality" (Bridge nomenclature) of the PDF.  See images below.
    Additionally you can further edit and resave any PDF in Acrobat.
    It's always a good idea to read the documentation, consult the Help files and explore the application.

  • How robust is PDF-Password protection? Does it also work for PDF/A?

    Several sources say that PDF passwords can be removed with appropriate software. Is this true?
    Can I also protect a PDF/A with a password? If not, how can I be sure that I can still open a regular password protected PDF in 10 years from now?
    Many thanks.

    Actually PDF/A is specifically designed to guarantee that the documents can be read in the distant future (barring global destruction, end of reality as we know it, alien sheep invasions, etc.)
    While we cannot predict which vendor will be providing the software to do it, or how the data will be stored by then (holographic data mice are still in beta) the PDF/A standard is designed to do two very important things:
    The standard is open, so the structure of a PDF/A file can be interpreted by anyone who can open it and compare the contents to the standard (which itself is also published in PDF/A). It's basically a text file with lots of symbols in it.
    PDF/A forbids any encryption or licensed algorithms (e.g. H.264) that could be impossible or illegal for a future viewer to use, for example if a password is lost or the inventor of a proprietary algorithm goes crazy and cancels all the licenses.
    Combined, these points make PDF/A impossible not to be parsable. It may end up projected directly into your brain by the aforementioned holographic data mouse, but you'll be reading it all the same.

    As to your ability to open a secured password in 20 years from now? Heck there is no guarantee that your non-secured pdf file will be readable in 20 years. With PDF/A your chances are pretty good as it uses standards based file format, but there is no guarentee that Adobe or any other company doing business today will be in business 20 years from now.

  • What is a default password in Lion terminal

    What is a default password in the Mac Lion Terminal? I never setup any password on my MacBook Air. Everytime I used command line in TERMINAL (such as sudo....) they always ask for Password.
    Thanks

    Note that after creating an admin password, you can still arrange things so you do not need it to log in at startup.
    To set that up, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups and then click the Login Options item at the bottom of the pane on the left side. In the new screen, select your account name for the item "Automatic login".
    Note - you'll need to unlock that control pane in order to make changes, To do that, click the lock icon in the bottom left of that window.

  • How can I remove PDF password?

    Hi guys, recently I've got a really annoying problem at work. Some of my PDFs can not be copyed, edited or printed. I know that's because they're secured but how can I remove the password? Any idea to work out the problem?

    Hello,
    As there is no any C# solution ,I would like to psot some sample codes to achieve this.
    using Spire.Pdf;
    using Spire.Pdf.Security;
    namespace modify_PDF_passwords
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    //load a encrypted file and decrypt it
    String encryptedPdf = @"..\Encrypt.pdf";
    PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(encryptedPdf, "e-iceblue");
    //reset PDF passwords and set user password permission
    doc.Security.OwnerPassword = "Spire.PDF";
    doc.Security.UserPassword = "pdfcomponent";
    doc.Security.Permissions = PdfPermissionsFlags.Print | PdfPermissionsFlags.FillFields;
    //Save pdf file.
    doc.SaveToFile("Encryption.pdf");
    doc.Close();
    //Launching the Pdf file.
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Encryption.pdf");
    Anyway ,it is a PDF component based solution,which works pretty fine for me.
