Why is there a password on my pdf's?

I tried to sync my adobe_reader manuels to my dropbox app in my Apple ipad, I get the message "unable to view files" then (this type of file cannot be viewed.) Then I went back to Adobe and when I tried to email it to myself to get it on my iPad it said 'this file password protected.' I never put a password on my adobe_reader. I previously tried to snyc it directly to my iPad but it kept loading for hours. I called Apple and they said to install PDF Pro. I did and had the same message as adobe_reader. I called FugiFilm about my camera manuel and asked them about the password. They said they did not put a password on their pdf file and to contact Adobe. I would really like to take my manuel (camera) with me as I learn.
Thank you all.

When you e-mail a PDF, you have to be sure the client is set for proper encoding and enforces that (MIME typical). Many clients look at a PDF and think it is a text file and transmit as a 7-bit file. However, a PDF is an 8-bit binary file and that transmission process corrupts the file.

  • Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

    What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
    We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
    We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
    Help?

    You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
    Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

  • Why is there no Passwords tab in my Safari Mountain Lion Preferences?

    I need to remove a stored password from my laptop, but there is no Passwords tab in my Safari Mountain Lion Preferences window. How can I get past this roadblock?

    Do you have some other software installed, like a password manager, that is removing the Passwords tab?
    Take a look in Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access. Your password may be stored in there. Look in the Login Keychain, Category: Passwords. You can just select the password and delete it.
    You could reinstall Safari perhaps to restore the Passwords tab. I don't think you can just download Safari by itself, though. You'd have to reinstall Mountain Lion. Alternatively there's an app called Pacifist that will let you extract the Safari installer package from the ML installer. CharlesSoft — software you always wished someone would write

  • Why are there not password on Recovery mode

    I think it is pretty unsafe to not have a password befor entering the recovery mode.
    Since one can reset passwords on even admin accounts how come there are no password requiret before entering Recovery mode?
    It is completly idiotic and totaly unsafe and an easy ways for f.i thiefs to wipe the computer for data.
    What is the reason for this?

  • Indesign CS4 won't retain passwords for placed PDFs

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded to CS4 from CS2 and I'm having a problem with placed PDF files with password protection.
    I wonder if anyone knows why CS4 seems unable to retain passwords for secure PDF files that I have previously placed. Every time I open a document CS4 brings up a 'PDF security password' dialog and I have to enter the password for every placed secure PDF file in the document – no matter how many times I input the passwords and save the document it still happens.
    I never encountered this problem in CS2, all I used to do was place a PDF, enter the password for the secure file and then the next time I opened the document with the placed PDFs it would just open without being prompted for the passwords – CS2 just 'remembered' them or something.
    There's probably a setting for this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, so any help with this would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Thanks for your replies guys, I think that a little more information about what I'm doing might help you understand my situation.
    I am the creator of the PDFs, which are adverts, and these are secured with only one password (for permissions) in my workflow to allow them to be proofed to the client (but to prevent them from being passed on and subsequently altered by third parties.) The adverts are subsequently placed into an InDesign document for a publication which I solely produce.
    Previously, when placing these files in InDesign CS2 you only had to enter the permissions password once to place the file and from then on InDesign CS2 did not require the password to be entered again even if you closed the document and re-opened it (unless the artwork had been modified).
    I've been using CS2 with this workflow for years and there's never been a problem with my PDFs – not event at the pre-press stage as I generate a high res PDF file for the entire publication and upload this to repro with whom I have a close working relationship and I'm certain that they would have informed me of any problems. Although I think that the final PDF would not be affected by passworded files?
    I quite agree, I wouldn't expect someone else to place a file that required a password to do so – but that's not the case here. I'd like to understand why CS4 (and interestingly it seems CS3) doesn't retain the permissions password after it has been entered in the first instance – in the same way that CS2 did. It's inconvenient to have to enter it for each advert in the document every time I re-open it.
    Yes, I could remove the security, but for me, that seems to defeat the object of being able to generate just one PDF file in the first place to use in my workflow.

  • Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

    Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Set Password for a PDF created from SAP

    Hi,
    Somebody knows if it is possible to set a password for a pdf file created from a function module.
    We are using different functions to generate the pdf (i.e. CONVERT_OTF, CONVERT_OTF_AND_ARCHIVE).
    Are there some parameters to set this password, or also after archived it (with Archive Link)u2026
    Thanks a lot.

  • How do I password-protect a PDF document that doesn't let me change the security settings?

    I want to password-protect my PDF document (so when I email it, it can only be opened/read by intended recipients as it contains confidential/sensitive information) but when I go into document security, I'm unable to change the Security Method (which is currently set to 'No Security' - not by me).  There's a 'show details' icon but it's grey so I can't click on it.  What can I do to protect this document from being opened by non-intended recipients?

    Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader!  That makes sense.  Thanks so much for your reply.  At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs.  If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

  • Is there a way to import PDF files?

    Hello
    I am using RoboHelp HTML Version 5.0.2 and I have encountered problems importing PDF files.  I have tried all the various options but they all loose the original format.  My PDF files can range from one to five pages.  Is there a way to import PDF files?

    Check the RoboHelp HTML's help. In the Index, type "import" and select the "PDF files" subentry from the "Importing" entry.
    Read the "Importing PDF files" topic; see also the link to "Tips for importing PDF files" in which one of the tips is:
    Why is my imported PDF file displaying incorrectly?
    PDF files can display certain font families that HTML cannot display. Consequently, in rare instances fonts contained in a PDF document may not convert correctly when imported into HTML.
    Good luck,

  • How do I add a password to a pdf that can later be removed by a person with only Adobe reader?

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and want to make a password on a pdf so it is safe until the other person gets it. I can make a password without a problem and when she goes to open it, the password is required, but it is not removed and the password stays on the pdf. How can I make the PDF with a password so that once she opens it using the password, she can then take off the protection of the PDF?
    She only has Adobe Reader XI.
    How can I make a PDF like this, or can I?
    Thanks for any help,
    Sean

    Adobe Reader cannot change security options. There is nothing you can do, when creating the PDF, to change this.

  • Saving Password for a pdf file in HP Client Security Manager

    Hello,
    I want to save the password for a pdf file in the Password Manager of the HP Client Security Manager Software but the symbol for the entry of the password is not appearing on the top right of the screen. If I use the registered fingerprint a dialog opens where the Client Security Manager asks which account it should use to login. But i can't add a password for the file. The login for websites is perfectly fine. 
    Do you have any idea how to fix that?
    Is there a way to manually enter password for files?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Password Protection for pdf file

    Hi Gurus,
      Wish u happy new year
       Is there any possibility for giving the password for the pdf file from SAP so that it should be password enabled. Now am able to send the pdf file  attachment through mail. But my requirement is I have to give the password facility to the pdf file so that when the user wants to see the pdf file in mail it should ask that password.
      Hope my requirement is clear.
