  • Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    Hello world!

    Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

    Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is

    Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.

    Is there a way I can create a voice active my windows user account password 7?

    Hello aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,.

    At this time, Microsoft does not offer this feature.  It would be interesting to see this technology, but as Pegasus has pointed out, everyone would be able to hear your password.  Or if the operating system could make you read a sentence and could confirm your voice.

    Thank you

  • Is there a way we can use Acrobat Standard to assign a password for opening of the signed PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

    Before execution of DocuSign, we have used to digitize a manually signed document to a PDF file, and then store the PDF file in a file of human resources share.  We would then use Adobe Writer Standard to assign a password to read/write to the PDF file.  Now, we use DocuSign to have electronically signed documents and download the PDF of the DocuSign in our files of human resources.  However Adobe Acrobat Writer we cannot assign a password.  It appears a dialog box saying "' you cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified".  We want to continue to be able to store the PDF file in our file sharing HR to restrict who can see off on the part of the passwords.  Is there a way we can assign a password for the PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

    You can use the Adobe PDF printer to print PDF signed to unsigned PDF and then encrypt the result.
