    I can use some other 3rd party tools that will allow me to open a PDF file, add user passwords and save it.  How can I do that using the SDK?  Looking for a simple solution... Thank you

    OK, so the SDK is a complete non starter because

    -the SDK is to work with Acrobat

    -Acrobat isn't for the server.

    There are Adobe PDF Library, which provides a large part of the plugin API and CAN be used to make applications. Separate issue, DataLogics licenses (individual courses).

  • Password protect many PDF files in a batch

    I have several PDF files, I want to add passwords, but I don't want to combine them into a single file.

    Is there a way to batch or run a script that would assign a password to all the files individually in one fell swoop?

    Thank you!

    Hi Kim,

    The short answer is Yes.

    Select it Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing menu item

    Click the new sequence on the dialog of batch sequences

    Add a name (for example password Sec) and then click OK in the dialog box new sequence

    Click on the Select command button on the edit batch sequence dialog box

    Highlight the list box on the left until you find the security

    Select Security and then click the Add button

    Select Security in the listbox on the right, and then click the Edit button

    Click Password Protection in the drop-down list security method

    Affect the security settings that you want to use, then click the OK button in the password security settings dialog box

    You will be asked to confirm the password you have chosen

    Click the close button in the Security dialog box

    Click OK in the edit sequence dialog box

    You are in the dialog box change the sequence of batch at this stage and finished one of the three points. This is where the batch is powerful. If you have decided to run the command in a selected all folder you need to do is to drop all unencrypted in the folder you selected and run the batch sequence. If you click the Output Options button you can assign new names to the files so you can keep the original unencrypted separate of the newly encrypted copy.

    I hope this helps.

  • Our InDesign seems to have lost the ability to open/modify a PDF file. Any idea on why this might have happened or how to fix it?

    We had to install InDesign CS6 recently on a Windows 8 machine and after using the program for a few days/weeks successfully, the user pointed out that it can is no longer open / edit a PDF file. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how can I solve this problem. If I uninstall and reinstall the program I'll be able to use my existing license?

    InDesign has never been able to open or to modify a PDF file. Illustrator can do it, somehow, but unless the PDF file has been created in Illustrator and contain the original Illustrator file information, it is not a good idea.

    PDF has been designed as an end-format and is not really intended for further editing.

    I would like to restore my passwords saved (only the passwords, any profile) to my laptop. Available, I have only a backup of my previous C: drive.

    Claudia,
    You must do the following:

    • Locate the backup of your previous profile. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile - you will need to manually adjust the location of your backup, and shortcuts like %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto do not work (on Vista/7, %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto is defined as \AppData\Roaming C:\Users\username)
    • Locate your new profile. See above, but here you can use the help-> troubleshooting information button
    • Copy the following files from the old profile to the new profile with Firefox closed: signons3.txt, signons.sqlite
