A pdf file in Acrobat cloud maybe blocked password?
I was wondering if we can the password to lock a pdf file that is located in the cloud to Adobe Acrobat? Maybe it's a redundant question, because it is assumed that all the files in the cloud of Adobe are protected in that sense to know the credentials (username and password) to connect to Adobe Cloud?
Hello
All files that you have uploaded to Adobe Document cloud are available to you (or the person who signs with the unique credentials: user name & password). No one else has access to your files in the cloud.
In addition, you can restrict access to individual PDF documents by setting passwords using the desktop version of Acrobat Professional or Standard DC.
Securing PDF files with passwords, Adobe Acrobat
Please note:
- Acrobat Reader (desktop and mobile) apps don't offer the ability to create password-protected PDF documents.
- Once the PDF documents are protected by password, you will not be able to make changes (e.g. adding annotations, fill forms) for PDF documents using Acrobat Reader mobile apps (for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone). There is a limitation in Acrobat Reader mobile apps only.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you.

I have a protected PDF file. I have the password. How to convert to Word? The export tool will fail because it has a password (even if the doc is open)
Hi stupiddonkey,
You will need to remove the password from the file (using Acrobat, not reader) before you can convert it to Word. To do this, choose file > properties, and then click the Security tab choose no security in the context menu of the security method and enter the password when you are prompted.
Best,
Sara

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.
