Adobe Distiller ALWAYS encrypts PDF files it generates?

• What is the sequence when a PDF file is generated?

  I would like to know the sequence of events when a PDF file is generated from InDesign CS4 using the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer. PostScript is involved somehow before the PDF is generated and I would like to have a better understanding of what is happening.

  Acrobat Help says:

  In an application such as Adobe InDesign, use the command print with the Adobe PDF printer to convert your file in Adobe PDF format. Your source document is converted to PostScript and sent directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF, without manually starting Distiller. Preferably current Distiller and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file.

  It is the a delicate, at least for me, because the explanation is confusing. My problem is the following: under InDesign > file > print > printer I have a PDF Adobe 7.0 (as well as my regular printers), and I don't know who 'Adobe PDF settings' are currently designated.

  QUESTION 1

  The expression of aid:

  Preferably current Distiller and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file

  is that the fact of Distiller > Preferences, and Distiller > settings Adobe PDF (the main window to distill)?

  QUESTION 2

  When I select the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer and press print, InDesign creates Postscript itself, or he asks using Acrobat or Distiller?

  QUESTION 3

  At some point before I get the PDF, a Postscript file will be launched, and it's "fairly directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF. At this stage, the Postscript file only is all the options that I asked in the print of InDesign dialog box (exit, Advanced Graphics, transparency and so on)? Or has there been some back-and-forth discussions between the Distiller (and its parameters) and InDesign (and its print settings) to solve all the conflicts?

  In short, is it correct to say that InDesign creates Postscript by itself (subject to its print settings), and then distilling takes Postscript from InDesign and converts it to PDF format (subject to its own parameters).

  Are you talking about export or print to PDF?

  Exported PDF files is not converted to postscript at all. It is exported

  directly to PDF using the libraries PDF internal.

  When you print to PDF, InDesign creates a postscript file, as it would

  What impression on any standard printer and Distiller converts that to

  PDF. Distiller simply acts as a virtual printer.

  The postscript created by InDesign file contains all the options work

  selected in InDesign - as would any postscript file everything

  printer.

  In summary, Yes.

  But you really should be export directly from InDesign and avoid

  the PostScript scene altogether...

  Hi quoman,

  Looks like you're wondering how to add security to a PDF file. You will need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do. If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

• encrypted PDF files

  All of a sudden I can't open PDF files that come from emails.  I don't know what happened, it tries to open in word, but it appears only in certain type of language machine or sometype of symbols and letters/numbers. He asked what language to choose etc.  That's happened?

  They are probably scrambled because Word cannot read a PDF file. You need a PDF as Adobe or Foxit Reader. Foxit is my personal preference.

  Adobe Reader
  http://get.Adobe.com/reader/

  Foxit Reader
  http://www.foxitsoftware.com/PDF/reader/

  Once you have such a reader, you may need to create a file association.

  1. download and save the attachment to the office.
  2. right click on the saved file.
  3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
  4. click on: choose [default] program.
  5 Adobe select: Or Foxit Reader.
  6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
  7. click on OK.

  This should allow you to open these attachments directly from email address now. If your problems persist, see this.

• CAD drawings can be flattened when converted to PDF format - OR - software free Adobe can flatten a PDF file?

  I get CAD drawings converted to PDF format on a regular basis to clients using various CAD software systems.  Almost always, the PDF retains the layers created in the CAD document.  Preserving layers significantly slows down the loading time of the PDF and increases the file size as well in my opinion.  If the layers are not selectable or in a list, I can see load a (ie. topo, plans floor, title, block, etc.) on each page of the PDF file.  Does anyone know how to remove the overlay effect?  I heard the PDF file must be "crushed" or perhaps the CAD software is export to PDF there is a parameter that would flatten the layers.  However, I have not the possibility on my PDF software to flatten, and my architects/clients use different CAD software systems, so I don't know how to educate to flatten documents.

• Installed the patch for MAC Java yesterday and immediately couldn't get adobe reader to view pdf files... have troubleshoot-done and can't seem to fix it... any ideas?

  I used the Firefox troubleshooting guides, not good. The patch of Java is activated and shows when I check the requests. However when I run Firefox plugins always displays the java plug in is obsolete and should be updated immediately.

  Hi mrwdrule,

  Have you looked at the Base files display PDF in Firefox article? There are a lot of useful information in there. In fact, it lists two different plugins to try to open the PDF files. I would try the two just to be sure.

  Hope this helps!

• How can I stop Adobe trying to open pdf files?

  I deleted Adobe from my Mac, but he's still opening the pdf files, in Safari and in the Mail. I deleted all the files using CleanMyMac, so that there is nothing about him.

  How can I change the default to Evernote, or simply to display pdf in Safari?

  This file is one that you can open with Adobe Reader. You get this message on systems where Adobe Reader is not installed or has been uninstalled correctly. Now, everything works normally, but of course, you WILL need to install Adobe Reader, if you want to read this file.

• Adobe Reader opens a PDF file

  I use Windows 8 on a Dell computer using the Firefox browser. When I double-click a PDF file on my desktop, it opens fine. When I click a link on a site Web towards the same PDF file, the file did not come but he opens my computer library file and asks me where I want to save it. It worked well but not about 2 weeks ago now. It will not work on Adobe Reader 9 or Adobe Reader XI, which I just installed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  You use Firefox' own PDF viewer or the Adobe Reader plugin?  See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

• Clicking on pdf in Windows opens Adobe but not the pdf file

  I know it sounds like a minor annoyance, but it is a problem with Acrobat 11 in my main image. QA sign on my image until this is resolved. When my users launch a pdf from their local machine for the first time Acrobat opens but the pdf file does not work. Just close Acrobat and clicking on the pdf file again resolves the problem. These seems to be just a first question. Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

  It is windows 7 x 64 with Adobe Acrobat Standard XI.

  Working with AA 11.0.0, or did you update? The updates may resolve the problem if they were not made, particularly on a 64-bit computer.

• Adobe Acrobat Standard - vs-Adobe Acrobat Pro (for PDF files)

  I need to make a PDF from some 600 photos. Adobe Acrobat Standard application is competent to perform this task? Or is it better to buy Adobe Acrobat Pro and why?

  Neither has relevant specific limits for this.

  If you do for professional publication, Acrobat Pro contains print production tools.

  However, be aware that YOU have NOT LAY OUT DOCUMENTS or MAKE of BOOKS in ACROBAT. Sorry to be emphatic, but some people have received the notice that it replaces Word, InDesign, Publisher, or other. This isn't.
