My pdf files secure when I make them or are they for all to see

I just wanted to know that when I make a pdf file on my computer, is it safe to my computer or is - to see everything and not secure. Anyone with the entrance on this would be greatly appreciated thanks.

I don't know what you're asking. If you have created a PDF file on your local hard shore, ask yourself if everyone can see? PDf is a file and can be seen by anyone who has access to \the hard shore on your computer. If I don't have access to your computer I can't see it. If you download this PDF on a Web site, anyone with access to this Web site can download your PDF and can see it. If you send me the PDF file I can see it.

Does that answer your question?

Or do you mean that you have distributed your PDF to a lot of people and I wonder if anyone gets their hands on it can see? If that's what you ask then the answer is that you can encrypt your PDF in Acrobat and only people who are allowed to open this PDf file can see. Acrobat provides two methods of encryption: encryption of password and certificate encryption. Password encryption is simpler, but there might be flaws in the dissemination of the password. Certainly do not communicate it in the same email in PDF. Encryption certificate is more selective, but requires more work. You must have a digital ID to encrypt private key and certificate with the public key of all the possible beneficiaries of your PDF in time you encrypt PDF. Each PDF recipient must have the digital ID with the private key installed on his computer. You get the certificate with the public key that you include on the encryption.

You can Google "encryption certificate in Acrobat" you will get links to tutorials that explain how to use this feature.

  • Saving a PDF file called when closing using Reader9

    Is it possible to save a PDF file in READER9 to its current directory without be invited to this directory to save it in? When a file called PDF in Reader9 is changed (IE by adding/removing data), then closed, the user is prompted to save the file PDF THEN prompted with SAVE AS and asked what directory it must be registered in.

    If the same PDF is called and changed in adobe pro, the user is asked only to save the changes.

    The "disclosed" property of the PDF called (PFSL-18. 06.96.PDF) is set to 'true '.

    Code used to call the pdf file is:

    var otherDoc = app.openDoc("..) ("/ Mutual fund forms/PFSL-18, 06.96.pdf", this);

    If you want to save using JavaScript, you will need to provide the user with a special application-level script that the user must install on their system.
    This security restriction has been added with version 6 for all variants of Acrobat/Reader, so there is no save silent of a PDF without the end-user being aware of the possibility of a silent record. The user is aware, because they have installed the script.

    After seeing a few screenshots of the file I think I see what's happening now. There is a watermark diagonal URL through the page that is converted to a link automatically by the application. Disable it go to Edition - Preferences - general and uncheck the box that says "create links from URLS".

    I have a document composed of separate PDF files that reside in a folder and are related to each other through hyperlinks. Each pdf file is configurΘ for dΘmarrer with bookmarks displayed, however if I have a link to one PDF file to another and use the "back" button to return to my starting point bookmarks are replaced by "vignette". Is there anyway to prevent this?

    Hi Mike,.

    While the implementation of the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you will not experience this issue, then you can simply switch to the file view and previous bookmark will remain as it is.

    Is that what helps with your query?

  • I keep getting these messages that do not allow to use a file. What should I change to have privileges for all functions?

    Original title: administrator Win7

    I have win7 and IE11 running on a HP 8540p.  I'm the only person authorized to use the laptop - I am the administrator.

    I keep getting these messages that do not allow to use a file.  What should I change to have privileges for all functions?

    The second file is not cooperating and was not deleted.

    "Not cooperating" can mean many different things. A real verbatim error message would be more useful. In the case of locked files, it is often possible to remove safe mode.

  • Convert all files to PDF / leader/acrobat photoshop and make them editable

    Hello

    I will start a small business where customers will download the files that I need to change then. I want to allow customers to download any type of file so that I can then convert it to a PDF file or any file acrobat / illustrator file etc so that I can change it.

    Is this possible?

    If so, what software adobe would allow me to do this? will it be illustrator, photoshop, or any other?

    TIA

    There is no single solution and PDF is a choice very little helpful for editing. You need ro be accurate and precise. People slow to download files created with a particular software THAT YOU OWN. Change in the original software. You may need the exact version.

    When the installation is FINISHED, make a PDF, not before.

  • I can't save my PDF files. When I hit Save as an empty window appears instead of a menu of files or folders Windows Explorer view. I'm a Publisher and save files under new names of files after changing them. Why can't I just save these files in Adobe DC (

    I run Acrobat Professional so that I can change/brand place/comment in the PDF files. At one point recently I noticed "Acrobat Reader DC" in the name of the file at the top of the page. I do not have ask this or do anything to get there that I was aware of this. I adjusted for the new look of the screen and edited several files without incident. But yesterday, I opened a large file which had been addressed to me in Dropbox. When I downloaded and opened it and tried to change it, the selection tool was not aligned properly, so the selected areas were elsewhere on the page, where the cursor was. I restarted my computer and was able to change the file more or less normally (I noticed more little glitches with this CD player but I can live with them). But when tried to save the file with a new file name, like I always do to differentiate files that changed since the original files, the save window is empty. There is no option to save the file with a new file name. In fact. There is no option to save the file with the changes! I thought maybe it was a problem with this file only, but when I tried to edit a file provided by regular e-mail, I met the same problem trying to save to a new file name. What is the relationship between my old Acrobat Professional and Acrobat Reader DC? Why can't save files normally? I managed to save the changes I did by saving it in the cloud to Adobe (I had to then because I could not send the file by e-mail because of its size - I tried to send it to me)., but I'd rather widely navigate in Windows Explorer to work with files. I suspect that there is some simple aspects about what I am simply absent or do not know. Can anyone help?

    Hi Nathalie,.

    Please take a look at this thread and let us know if we get to the brand:

    "Save as" box pop up does not allow me to save the document.

  • When you open a PDF saved on my computer, Firefox will open several tabs for all of the PDF files I have in a folder. Why?

    Recently, I tried to open some files in Adobe to view on my company computer. They have been recorded on my shared drive companies, and everyone seems to be able to open the files very well. When I try to open the files the program proceeds to open Firefox and wonder through the internet, if I want to download the file. At the beginning it wasn't a problem, because it was just a minor inconvenience. So today, I was working in a folder containing several files PDF (about 125 to express my frustration) and when I click on a file to open it, Adobe proceeded to open all PDF files in the folder. This means that each file opened a new tab in Firefox and proceeded to ask me if I wanted to download it. As I hope you can tell, I quickly became frustrated because I wanted only one file and it would not stop opening new tabs to ask me the same question 125 times. The only way to stop it was to open the Task Manager and go forward to force Firefox altogether.

    I tried to update the program on my computer (it was already up to date), I tried to update the plugin Firefox (it was already up to date) to adobe, I tried the repair Adobe Reader Installation (it doesn't make a difference), and I searched the internet for information about the problem (I was not successful in finding something that relates). According to me, the only thing that I did is to uninstall and reinstall the program on my computer, something I do not want to make I already said that it is a company computer.

    If there is someone who can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time.

    Then, you need Adobe Reader, the default application to open PDFs, instead of FireFox. I think that FireFox just started doing this, and it is causing some confusion.

    As well as the normal way of Windows to change the default application, which is not also known as it should be, you should be able to use Adobe Reader. In Edit > Preferences in the General section and see if there is a button "select default PDF Manager."
