Can "lock you" an editable pdf?
Is it possible to have an editable pdf (scan a document, no image) for this recipient can copy text, but not the change - i.e. lock it for changes but allow to copy some text? We want the recipient to be able to copy the text in the PDF we send (e.g.to paste in Word), but not able to change (i.e. change the file).
We have been scanning like image in the past, but customers are asking us to scan under the side so they can copy the text (to avoid having to retype to "quote" of our document), but we fear that this would allow them to edit the pdf file to change our wording (provide us paper documents with signature header and unwilling recipients able to change the pdf file to adapt the text to their needs) while maintaining our paper letterhead and signature).

I can't seem to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat, as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a password of Permissions?
If the files have a permissions password, you must know it and delete security, before you can edit the files. That is right.

Hi all. I work for a community college. Our financial aid Department has a couple of editable PDF who they would like to publish on our Web site for students to complete. Once the student meets the PDF, there should be a Submit button, which is used for SFTP the document to one of our secure servers which can import the PDF of our document management system. Because these files are financial aid, they must be safe. This process is supposed to eliminate a lot of paper consumption. Is Adobe LiveCycle Designer tool that can help me do this? What else would I need? Thank you.
Designer can help you build the shape, but it will not allow the transfer of the form. If you want to automate the transfer of the PDF from the form (click on a "submit" button) there are only certain protocols supported. Secure FTP is not one of them. You can submit using HTTPs to a server program and who have to update your system, or send it otherwise you will have to use another program to transfer the file over to you.
Hope that helps

Is it possible to "lock" the objects In Design CS 5.5?
For example, to "lock down" an object on the page, while clicking top only select or move accidentally?
Yes. A simple way is to use the layers panel. You can also do this in the menu object.
If a locked object is selectable (which will allow you to place content) is preferred.

You can create a locked in an editable region?
Hello
I have a box that varies in length for each web page. -This article, I want to make it editable. In the box, there are 19 references to other web pages on the site. These references do not change from one page to the next and if possible I would like to locked. If this feasible and if so, how?
Thank you.
Make sure the section in a server-side include or a library item.
However, that's the answer direct to your question, no, you can't put a region locked in an editable region, however, you can split an editable region in two editable regions, separated by a non-editable area.

InDesign CS5 - you can create editable pdf forms?
Hey guys
I'm probably in the hope a little too much here, but in the past, I've created editable pdf forms by setting the entire doc in IDCS3 and then to create the form in Acrobat Pro.
I don't think that IDCS5 has added a trick new (a little hidden feature) to be able to create all (including fields etc.) in the ID?
Thanks in advance
Tom
No change except that Acrobat 9 Pro did a better job to recognize fields than earlier versions.

How can CD users save files as read-only PDF editable PDF after completing their?
Hello
We have users who use CD player and none of them are able to save regular editable PDF files, PDF files read-only. The only options that appear for the option Save as others are "text' and 'word or excel." In older versions, there is a PDF option here that allow them to record read-only. When you go to save as and recording it in pdf format, it is always editable. There is no other option to save it as Save a Copy as I've seen in other articles. Can you please tell me how this can be done? Thank you.
Hi aprice.impact,
Sign the PDF file use the certificate in Acrobat Reader ms (you'll find it under the Tools tab), to create a digital signature & sign the PDF.
It will secure your PDF & restrict any changes.
Kind regards
