Will Standard Edition of Adobe Acrobat allow password protection for PDF files or do I need to purchase Acrobat Pro?

I need to password protect PDF files in an office environment. I was wondering if I need Adobe Acrobat Pro or would the Standard Edition suffice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Standard is sufficient.

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.
Points will be awarded
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Gurus,
Any Solution

you will have to take the help of Professional Pdf editind tools such as Nova pdf or the Full version of Adobe Acrobat i.e. Acrobat Professional ..
also check the links below ..

How to password protect PDF documents or files?
Open the PDF file in Acrobat
Select File > Document Security from the menu
Got to the u201CSecurity Optionsu201D drop-down and select u201CAcrobat Standard Securityu201D
Find the box labelled u201CPassword required to open documentu201D and place a check mark against it.
Edit or type the password
You can also add a password requirement for changing permissions or password.To add a a required password check the box against u201Crequired password to change permissions or passwordu201D and enter the password. However note that this password must be different from the one that you entered for securing or password protecting the PDF file.
If you want your PDF document to be password accessible to users with previous versions of Acrobat Reader (versions earlier than 5.0), do not change the 40-bit encryption setting. However if your users or audience will be using version 5 or later versions of the Reader (or the full Acrobat program) then you may use 128-bit encryption.

I am unable to password protect a pdf file. Any thoughts. I went to help and none of the options were available to me.. I pay for pdf conversion to word and excel

Password protection is ONLY available with Acrobat Standard or Pro. The PDF to Word converter is just what the name implies... PDF to Word... No encryption, no protection.

Make Acrobat the default reader for pdf-files.

Since some time (probably after I installed Mavericks) pdf-files are by default opened
in Preview. To open them in Adobe Acrobat, I can right-click the pdf-file, choose Acrobat,
and indicate that Acrobat should be the default reader for pdf-files.
This works, and after logout and login, it does still work.
But after a reboot, Preview is again the default reader.
Also, if in Finder I right-click a pdf-file, and via Get Info I configure Acrobat
to be the default reader for the specific file and all other pdf-files (by clicking
Change All), this only works for the current session. After a reboot Preview again is the
default.
How can I make Acrobat Reader the default reader for pdf-files, and make this setting
permanent?
Where is this setting saved?
Regards,
Kees.

I finally solved this, but I still don't understand how.
To begin with I have 2 hard-drives in my iMac. The OS is on the primary HD, and data are on the secondary drive. My Home directory too is on this secondary HD.
To check whether the location of the Home directory might be the problem, I copied the Home directory to the primary HD, changed the path in my profile, and did a reboot.
The next step was to configure Adobe Acrobat as the default reader for pdf-files. To my surprise, after rebooting, Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
So it looks as if this problem has something to do with the location of the Home directory.
The original Home directory was still present on the secondary HD, So the next step was to change in my profile the path to the Home directory again (pointing again to the original Home directory on the second HD), do a reboot and delete the copy of the Home directory on the primary HD.
So now the situation was back to as it was before: the Home directory on the second HD.
To my surprise now Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
And I could also change the default reader to Preview, and back to Acrobat, and this setting was saved across reboots.
I'm curious to what solved this problem, and where the setting of the default pdf-reader, or more general, the default application for file types, is stored.
So I hope that someone who reads this, can shed some light on this.

Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

The point is that, like all licensed software, you need permission to redistribute it in any form. So the question is: is that permission granted? If you can find anywhere that grants it that's fine.
Adobe used to give out such permission back in the days of Reader 1, 2, 3... but I believe it was long ago removed. There is a strong reason to do this today: third party redistributors aren't likely to be hot on updating to new versions etc. There is a more cynical view: Adobe would also lose such benefits as it might get from offering dubious "extras" with the download. Finally, and strongly - if anyone can distribute it, these days who can tell who has the real product and who has a malware impersonator?

How do I password protect a pdf file - getting error messages?

I'm trying to protect a pdf file (i.e. a tax return printed to PDF) with password to open and password to modify. However I'm getting an error message in a pop up window saying..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder." I'm using WIN 8.1. and I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (student / teacher version). This is a standalone PC so I can't imaging someone else is using this file. Also I've tried renaming and saving to a different folder (from the folder the original file is saved). I've also looked at properties of the PDF file and its not tagged as read only. Please advise if I'm missing something. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for responding...I'm getting the same message that I got at first..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder."
The next day I emailed the file to my work PC and encrypted it with no problems. I have WIN 7 and am using Acrobat 8.0 there. So the problem seems to be with my new PC here at home (i.e. WIN 8.1 and Acrobat XI). Frustrating. I'm betting its some obscure setting in WIN or Acrobat, that is way over my head. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks again.

Password Protection of PDF file generated thru SAP

Hi,
I have written a program to send payslip through email . This mail sends the payslip as a PDF attachment.
I want to password protect that PDF document, so that it asks for a password before being opened by the employee.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Sanchit

Hi sanchit,
1. The payslip passes thru SCOT
   settings,
   which in turn generates the PDF
   and sends mail.
2. SCOT does not provide any such facility,
   for password protection.
3. I don't think the password
   concept can be done in a normal fashion !

Windows 7, 64 bit won't allow me to set Adobe Reader X as default for PDF file

By right clicking a pdf file I can choose Adobe Reader as opposed to MS word, but the box to set default won't accept check mark to set this for all pdf. Therefore, when I click a pdf without saving to documents first and using open with, the click notes a WAB file error regarding parameters ect. There must be a fix for this that I am not aware of.

I have no idea what check box you are talking about or how you are trying to open a PDF. This is not the Reader forum where you should be asking this question. However, to set Reader as the default, you should be able to right click on the PDF and select open with, select Reader, and then check the box to always use this application to open a PDF.

Applying Password-protection for Numbers files?

It looks great -- at first view. I grabbed my standard Excel file with all my misc. stuff in it, and hit the first snag. It was password-protected, so Numbers wasn't going to let me import it. Okay, that makes sense. So I figure out how to unprotect the file and manage to get it into Numbers. But when I went to apply a password requirement to open it, no joy.
This seems to be a no-brainer to me, a must-have feature. But the Help tool couldn't find anything on it. If it truly isn't supported then what was supposed to be the Red Letter Day of finally getting rid of the last Microsoft applications is going to have to be delayed until Apple releases an update.
Ideas?

Yes, but that is not the case I am talking about. You talk about a sender who uses a Mac and knows that the receiver may have problems opening his files.
I am talking about a PC user who sends out encrypted MS Office documents in the belief that all the recipients have MS Office.
Example: Let's assume that you work for one of the big companies in Sophia Antipolis or for Carrefour in Antibes. Their management asks all the employees if they can read MS Office files. Everyone who says "yes" gets a confidential encrypted Excel file with pension calculations mailed to them. The other ones get the form in paper format. If you have iWork, you will have to wait for the paper version to arrive. You will have to fill it in on paper and you will have to verify the calculations manually. In some cases there may not even be a paper version available.
And I am talking about the Mac user who wants to send protected data to a PC user. As the PC User cannot open a Mac disk image, the only solution I can see for an iWork user is an encrypted PDF, and that one will not be editable by the receiver.
I am not saying that Apple has a duty to fulfill those requirements or that Apple should promote MS Office as a format. I am only saying that as long as iWork does not support password protection, some of iWork's users will have this kind of problems.
But maybe we are not giving the same meaning to "file protection".
For me it means "keep it from others view" aka "access denied"
Maybe, for you, it means "don't give the ability to edit it" aka "read only"
We give exactly the same meaning to the expression "file protection".

Can I password-protect a PDF file?

I'm trying to set up a site with a 'members-only' area that
contains PDF files. Is there some way to password-protect the files
themselves, or do I need to settle for a protected php page that
links to the files. While it's unlikely that a non-member would be
able to guess the filenames, it's possible that an ex-member who's
username and password have been removed would still be able to
access the files with a bookmark, as they're not protected.
I understand that short of a commercial product to convert
pdf to html, I'm stuck with the pdf format, but is there some way
to embed the pdf within a html page?

You can actually create files and store them with different
names, so as
they can't be downloaded conventionally ...
In most Windows, and I am assuming PHP setups - you can store
files above
the root and use a page to call them ...
You protect them too - I think on a blanket (all instances of
the file have
the same password) approach is easier ...
Or take a look at this

How do I convert a password protected a pdf file to excel

I downloaded my credit card statement from my on-line bank site in PDF format. When I tried to convert it to an excel file, i received a message that it could not be done because the file was password protected. How can I proceed?

I am sorry. I just purchased the upgrade and am just getting acclimatized to the process. I appreciate your comment. And thank you for your response.

Hello,
Take a look at : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/pluginxchange/index.html

This destination creates a secure PDF that is password-protected. This sample is tested with Oracle Reports 9i, Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4), and Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).
