Why does Adobe reader on iPad lock unlocked pdf files on move from computer

I Have copied several pdf files, which I have made, from my laptop to my iPad. On my laptop they are unlocked and I can Add text etc. On the iPad they become locked and I cannot do this. Why? How do I stop this so that's can have u locked pdf files on my iPad.

Rbradford,
Did you add document restrictions or an "Open Password" protection to your PDF documents?  When you add any of document security features to a PDF document, it will be encrypted.
Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products do not support adding annotations to encrypted PDF documents or filling out encrypted PDF forms, for example.
To check whether your PDF document is encrypted
Open your PDF document in the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro.
Select File > Properties... from the menu.  (Or press Command+D for Mac, Control+D for Windows.)
Select the Security Tab.
Click the Show Details... button (if enabled).
Check the last entry in the Document Security dialog.
If this is not the case, please send one of your PDF documents to [email protected] and include the link to this forum post (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1593031) in your email message for reference.
We will inspect the PDF document and diagnose the cause of the problem.  Thank you.

    Why does Adobe Reader change my icons to pdf?

    For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

  • Why does Adobe Reader 9.5.0 open pdf created by Excel, but not with Reader X.

    We have a number of pdf's that open 100% with Adobe Reader 9.5.0, but not with Reader X.
    On Reader X, the message “A Number is out of range” is shown and the image is corrupted.
    The image was created using “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007), with “Standard” optimization.
    For interest, if the same “File SaveAs PDF”  from Excel (Office 2007) is used, but with “Minimum Size” optimization set, then the resulting pdf opens perfectly with both Reader 9 & X.
    Distressing that a new version does not work where previous version did.

    HI
    Sorry, my first time posting and I don’t seem to be able to attach the problem pdf to my posting.
    Example of problem file attached. Opens in 9.5.0 but not X

  • Why does Adobe version XI not open internet PDF files?

    I can open internet PDF files on my Ipad but not on my desktop.  What's the fix?  thanks!

    What is your computer system (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS Lion)?
    What is your browser?
    Here's a link to a really dull file - does it do the same? http://www.adobe.com/security/pdfs/riskcompliance_faq.pdf

  • Why does Adobe Reader do not print in English on my computer ?

    I go a e-mail from honeywell company with an attachment.  Why does Adobe Reader transform the e-mail from English to some other languge?

    Hi Margaret,
    I'd like to help! Would you mind sharing a bit more detail? What language does it appear to be? Has this happened with other PDF's? When you installed it - did you select English as the language?
    Looking forward to your response.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from e.g. dropbox)

    Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from dropbox I can still see them after closing the app or switching documents)? I lost some valuable annotations while switching documents and apps over time. How do I save them? Only by sending it to dropbox for instance?

    It saves the file when:
    1) The app goes to background
    2) A share action (open in, email, print) occurs
    3) A form submit occurs
    4) You close the document by going to "Home" or "Documents", or open another document
    One issue that people encounter is that they open the file in a reader that does not support annotations (like the dropbox PDF view or the iOS Mail app). It doesn't sound like this is the case for you though, since you do see the annotations.
    There is a known issue, where on a small number of documents with specific properties, we fail to save changes. This is an issue that we have fixed and will be in our next release. The release is currently pending approval by Apple. It's possible that you encountered this issue, and if so, I apologize.

  • Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

    Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

    I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop.  It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page!  Made reading an ebook difficult.
    I finally found the solution:
    Under Edit select Preferences - General
    Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming". 

  • Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

  • No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought it would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is it really just limited to one key word per search?

    No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought an eBook reader would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is iBooks really just limited to searching for one key word at a time?  Am I missing something  basic in the search interface?

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files.  Message: "Email has not been set up on this device."

    Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files.  Message: "Email has not been set up on this device."  I have 4 email accounts that have been set up.  When trying to email from Adobe, the email screen does come up, but does not allow me to enter any recipients in the field, and when I try, the email page's fields simply goes blank and disappears, taking me back to the document I am trying to send.  After trying repeatedly, I get the message about needing to set up my email.  My mother and I have also noticed that when  we try to open documents sent in A.R., they may open, or just go blank.  Any suggestions or fixes?

    Setting up your email is a bit out of the scope of this forum. I'd suggest asking for help in the Apple forums devoted to the iPad. Good luck.

  • Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

    On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
    I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account.  If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
    I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
    If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document.  If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
    This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.
