Best security settings for a pdf file which will be downloaded to the digital download site

Hello! I have a PDF form with Adobe Acrobat DC that I would like to offer for sale on Teacherspayteachers and I hope someone can share some permissions restrictions/security settings to make this more protected doc. I read a reread pages adobe on this matter, but its only because not a lot of sense. I'm looking for some give me a clearer answer for better protection. Not sure if this is important, but I work on a Mac and also need the PDF file to open, display drop-down menus and fields of text editable on an iPad. Thank you very much!

Hello

Once you apply security or limiting parameters to a PDF document in Acrobat Pro ms (desktop application), the PDF document will be encrypted.

Here is the screenshot of the Document Properties dialog box in Acrobat Pro ms

Another screenshot of the dialog Document Summary of security.

Acrobat Reader mobile apps (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) have the known limit where the changes cannot be saved in encrypted PDF documents.  As a result, users are unable to make changes (for example to fill in forms or add annotations/comments) to PDF documents encrypted in applications of Acrobat Reader, even if the document restrictions are defined to enable the filling of forms or comments.

On the other hand, there is no such limitation in the desktop version of Adobe Reader, Acrobat Pro, or Acrobat Standard.

If you plan to distribute your PDF form to all users of a desktop application and mobile, it's best to ignore them apply restrictions or security settings.  Otherwise, the Acrobat Reader mobile app users will find the unusable form.

Can you explain what is your PDF form?  I suppose that users buy your PDF form to fill out, which means that users (not you as the author) provide form data.  While elsewhere in your PDF in the form of content you need to protect?

    You have the same available settings on Acrobat as well:

    1. Open the PDF file, and then click file > Primt.
    2. In the print dialog, click on the printer... button.
    3. Confirm to display the OS dialog box.

  • What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while maintaining editable layers?

    What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while retaining the layers in editable for later use mode? I tried to do in Acrobat, but it does not keep separate layers. I also tried to automate the PDF presentation in Photoshop, but it combines the layers as well. I need to enable layers from photoshop retain their ability to be edited.

    It is not possible at this time, Photoshop is not a page layout program and pdf is hardly a format suitable to hold several files psd layered or editable page layouts.

    Why would you do that anyway?

  • What are the best export settings for a first Pro CS4 video HD?

    Hello!

    I had so much trouble with this issue and that's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video what are the settings for it

    23.98 FPS

    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down he says 1408 x 792

    16-bit,

    2 channels

    48000 Hz

    What should be the parameters when I do a new sequence?

    When I look into the window in Premiere Pro I constantly have to "shrink" the image to fit the window, is that something I should do or he says that the configuration of the sequence is bad?

    But more importantly what should be the parameters of export? I exported a long video of 4 minutes and the size was 1 GB, I know that it's too big.

    I need to export without losing quality and export another one which is consistent with the limits on the size of Youtube and Vimeo.

    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I download 4 videos per week. I think that Youtube, you can download 500 MB at a time.

    I need to get the smaller size with lose the least possible quality AND the best export quality settings, so I suppose I have 3 separate issues.

    What are the best settings of sequence for HD video?

    What are the best export settings for HD without losing quality?

    What are the best export settings for the size of out about 500 MB with losing the least possible quality?

  • OCR @ background for several PDF files

    Dear friends,

    I have several PDF files image / tiff files. a PDF file can have multiple pages. I wanted to do OCR of each PDF file. Manually, I need to do it one by one.

    I wanted to perform this task in the background might be a tool that can be run to do OCR for all files and save result files in the specific folder. This groundwork will be executed on a daily basis.

    Can this be possible with Adobe OCR tool? OR offer another solution using Adobe OCR.

    Have we not all libraries that can be integrated with .net application? so that we can build the tool that can be run in the background.

    Thank you

    Louis

    Yes, you can run OCR on a set of files and save them in the folder with the specified names. To do this, follow these steps:

    If no file is opened in Acrobat:

    1. start Acrobat and go to tools > improve the Scans

    2. There is a link «or recognize text in multiple files»

    3. on the "recognize text" dialog box, click Add files option and select all the files, you want to perform OCR.

    4. click on Ok. Now a dialog box will come where you can specify the output settings (folder path and file name prefix/suffix)

    5. the "Recognize text - settings' window specify the language and style of OCR output. (Default value is searchable exact Image).

    If a file is opened in Acrobat, step 2 will change: toolbar in Acrobat select text recognition > in multiple files

    Hope it will solve your problem. Please let us know if something else is needed.

    Thank you.

  • Is there a way to export / print to a pdf file which is flat? That is like printing on paper and a new analysis?

    Is it possible (if not, there should be MAOIs) export / print to a pdf file which is flat? That is like printing on paper and a new analysis? (I do not want to use this last)

    I could list 100 reasons why it would be useful to be able to do this, then please none of the usual "why would you do that?' or ' is not the right way... blah blah blah" which is too often here.

    If you are Windows on a machine, you can print the file to the Adobe PDF printer, thus creating a new copy of it.

    If you want to convert the entire file of images, then you can export it to the image files (PNG, for example) and then create a new PDF from that.

    If you want to flatten the dynamic objects (such as form, comments, links, etc.) then you can use a simple script to do.

    There are many ways, your request may be interpreted... If you provide information on what you are trying to achieve it will be easier to help you do.

  • What is the best 'color settings' for documents 4 colors Photoshop 9.0 for eventual printing on a printer? Thanx

    What is the best 'color settings' for documents 4 colors Photoshop 9.0 for eventual printing on a printer? Thank you, Scott

    The 'best' color settings are profile and end points specified by your lithographer. You can see that the work will be produced in CMYK mode, it can specify a RGB. (One of the reasons why it might ask for an RGB file and perform the conversion itself is so that it can prevent its competitors its CMYK settings that apply to the GCR, generation of black [ramp] and limit of total ink regarding specific paper.) Its recommendation may also vary depending on your choice of paper and the surface of the paper. If the choice of the particular lithographer cannot be done at this time, it is generally acceptable to provide the Adobe RGB file with the default settings of Photoshop.

  • Best practices - exeternal link a PDF file on the FM band, and in turn, HR

    I use TCS2 with FM and HR.  My goal is the following:

    -to create a doc FM (with several chapters) and links to external PDF documents. When I generate the FM file in PDF format, it correctly will allow users to click on links and display these external PDF docs.

    -import the doc FM (with several chapters) in HR and create HTML webhelp. Ideally, having the links included in the docs of FM (in external PDF) automatically generate in the HR doc, so that the produced HTML online help doc may have clicked on links also open the external PDF files.

    Issues related to the:

    -best way to do it in FM? I guess I have to create my PDFs in a portfolio (package?), so external clients keep the documentation in the same place (because hyperlinks can damage, I guess)

    -best way to make it work in HR?

    -things to watch?

    TIA!

    Adrianna,

    Presents all works seamlessly in the framework, assuming that you use cross reference tools and the hyperlink correctly. Assuming that your external files are either 1.)  local for new image files or 2.) are in a static situation on a server that can be identified by a URL.

    The warnings are only external PDF files must be in the same relative location as the files FM where they are created, because the path information is used in the links, OR you must specify the static location of the external PDF as a URL using a marker rather than a cross reference hypertext.

    If you move the directories containing PDFs around after the fact, Yes, you will break things.

    (And when you generate your PDF files, it is recommended to open all the files in the book so that network errors and minor messages prevent files update targets).

    If you cannot keep the logical tree when you deliver your PDF documents, Yes, you will need to do the manual steps and create functions and so on and bind files in Acrobat format.

    It is worth it for most people to find a way to maintain the stability of the directory structure...

    See you soon,.

    Acrobat 7 is not compatible with Windows 7, so it's difficult to judge how the application on an incompatible environment will behave.
