Editing of PDF with password

I have a PDF form with 3 different sections to be completed by 3 different people (1 person fills their section, it automatically sends to anyone, etc. 2) I don't want these people to change/complete the forms in their own section, is it possible? Better protection of password for each individual article?

It is not possible. There is no way to provide different security for different parts of a PDF form.

Once a PDF file is opened, everyone who has access has the same privileges.

    Hi people.  My goal is to have a script to perform the following functions:

    1. Enter the name of the active document

    2 Save as PDF using the active doc name with password lock in the same directory the *.ai file is located

  • Scripting 'Save PSD to PDF with password security' and 'Open a PDF file with password security' issue.

    Hello!

    I am now building an extension for Photoshop. The script (jsx) should save the document as Photoshop PDF secured with a password. The IPL is the same all the time and is defined in the script. Then, the script is to open the PDF file with that same password. I need this to protect the PDF of the opening by a user, so that only the script has access to the file.

    I googled a lot. I saw a similar topic on this community date in 2012. He did not respond. With one comment saying that savings with a password appears to be possible via GUI and not a script.

    Nothing has changed since 2012?

    P.S. .requireDocumentPassword and Illustrator .documentPassword do not work in PS and ScriptListener gives still nothing :-/

    ScriptListener always gives nothing

    Which probably means the task is not (yet) possible to achieve with Photoshop scripts.

    The Photoshop DOM and I seem to have weaknesses or omissions that I consider more relevant, but if you consider the matter as essential you can post a feature request to

    Hi all



    I have a requirement, as then to provide a PDF via the ibot, it should be password protected. The end-user needs to open it with a password. any help will be appreciated.


    Thank you.

    Hello

    It can be done with the BI Publisher (published reporting). IN the RTF to word builder model select Properties, and then in the custom tab, you have the possibility of a password hardcoded and a dynamic password which is fed to it by XML feed (report output)

    Note: the editor of BI manual has the details for this.

  • Edit a PDF with Illustrator

    Hey guys!

    IM really new to editing and Adobe work. I had a graphic deisnger do me a flyer design and there is a specific part, that I want to delete and add new things.

    My question is, how do I add a PDF to Adobe Illustrator to modify it in a way where the original file is not affected and I can still export it to PDF?

    Please help guys

    Thank you

    Illustrator is NOT a general PDF Editor. Some files PDF is good, some will be damaged obviously, other subtle ways, can be found much later.

    An important exception, if

    -are you sure THAT the file has been done in Illustrator

    -are you SURE that he has not been treated after

    -you are of COURSE, you have the same version

    -are you sure THAT the creator used the option to save the file HAVE original in PDF file

    Then, you can edit and work on the original.

    Editing PDF files is desperate last resort for when the original is lost, can be purchased for any amount of money and the backups have been eaten by termites.

    During the work, make sure that you get an editable file, not just a PDF file to contract. It may cost more, many designers consider that this is not part of what the basic cost of hedging.

  • Is it possible to edit a PDF file with a complete version 5.0 of Adobe blown

    Is it possible to edit a PDF with Acrobat 5

    If it's a form, there should be to fill fields that change to a bar I as you move the hand on the ground. If the hand does not change, then it is not technically a form - only it looks like one. You can use the tool shape in AA5 to add fields to complete, use the typewriter tool (or it's another name in AA5), or select the text editor tool, and then hold down the CTRL key while you move the cursor to create a new text box.

    How can I get Acrobat Reader XI back as my default? I'm more able to edit PDFs with Acrobat Reader DC.

    Adobe Reader XI could not change the files. Do you have Adobe Acrobat (not to be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader)?

    If so, you should always have well if you have installed the free player it will open by default pdf files.

    Check to see if you still have (or had initially) XI Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro) and we'll see if we can get repaired.

    I have Adobe Acrobat and it is not letting my edit my pdf, she continues to redirect me to a page with a link "more" and click on who goes to a page that requires a payment of $14.99. I bought this product, the money came out of my account and I restarted and stop my computer and the same page continues to appear when I click on edit my pdf file.

    When we've seen this before, it is because people buy Adobe Acrobat Pro, but in fact are not running. If you have Acrobat Reader, you get the same message.

    So if download you Acrobat Pro, but not install it, then install it now.

    If you have installed it, and then start it (with start menu or launch pad) and open the PDF file there.

    Not the answer you want, but you could set up your quick customer with an ftp upload which would replace the existing pdf. I use Transmit and it would allow your customer to simply drag and drop on a folder.
