Password protect PDF copy and paste, not sure in Mac "Preview"?

I created a book for someone and sent a PDF of it.  I fixed it with a password so it can be printed but not edited or copy/paste compatible.  When I open the PDF in Acrobat file on my PC, its locks me as it should.  I sent to a friend, and of course it's the same way in Acrobat on his Mac.  But when he opened it in "Preview" on the Mac, it allows him to copy paste.  He said he uses OS x Lion 10.7.4.

Why is-Mac Viewer bypassing the security and how can I keep doing it?

A PDF (viewer) consumer is supposed to honor standard security restrictions that are in place, but there is no way we're going to make sure that all. Another method that provides a strong form of security could serve as a security certificate or LiveCycle Rights Management (a type of DRM), but viewers can not Adobe such as the overview would not be able to open the document at all.

  • PDF, COPY AND PASTE FILES

    A Treasurer, I send monthly reports and statements my Secretary into the monthly minutes. He told me that when sent in PDF format, although it can download and open it can then transfer the minutes ("you can't copy and paste the content of PDF files") I am surprised by this, I had no need to do it myself. Is there a solution to this outside sent to him in a different format?

  • PDF copy and paste in Notepad

    I am trying to copy and paste all THE content (text) of a file PDF in Notepad, but is there a way to do it for the entire document, and not just 1 page at a time?  I tried to do Ctrl + A to select all, then copy and paste into Notepad, but it copies that I'm on the current page.  Is there a way to select the entire document to be able to copy and paste in this way?

    Hi wwdi91990255,

    Change "Page display" to "Allow the scrolling" under the view menu.

    Then try Ctrl + A to select all to copy and paste.

    I would like to know if it works for you.

By pressing the arrow to the left ONLY goes a certain number of steps back and loses my point of departure, 3) why the EMPTY the CACHE NOT button erase the HISTORY. for example, I go to a website, say email Yahoo, do my thing and disconnect, and then click HOME, then clear the Cache and enter Yahoo email to a different e-mail account and Yahoo acknowledged my attempt and me in my email previous username. Shouldn't happen, in my opinion. No help here, NO running AV/malware detection/clean and remove registry entries since NONE OF THESE do something positive?

  • Copy and paste not working not not between Customer View and Mac 10.7.4

    We run see 5.0 and all agents on the virtual machines are version 5.  Our Macbooks run OSX 10.7.4 and that we cannot copy text between MS Word on the VM and MS word on Mac.  I thought 1.4 was supposed to address? Our Mac clients are running 1.5.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  Another post says something about a policy from view but I have seen that global policies in the console admin and nothing paste is there.  There are only like 4 options to allow/deny the functions and copy/paste is not a.  All of us are set to allow.

    Thank you

  • How can I copy and paste text in a PDF document?

    I'm new to this kind of things Adobe Acrobat, and I wonder what I have to do, to be able to simply copy and paste from a PDF file to any ordinary document old.

    Hi don GST.

    Provided that the PDF is not secure or protected, you can simply drag your cursor over the text you want to copy, and then choose Edition > copy to copy text to the Clipboard. Then, you can change which application you want to paste in, then choose Edition > paste.

    You cannot select the text if the document was obtained by its creator. You can tell by looking for "Secure" in the title bar of the PDF file.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Best,

    I use the current trial of Acrobat DC version. I opened a PDF I created in Corel Draw by publication in PDF format. I tried to copy and paste text from it to a Word 2007 document. The copy option was available, but when I went to the document and chose paste, it was nothing. I then tried the same thing but sticking in a document of Corel. The same problem. It seems that the text has been copied, but I'm unable to paste it into another program. Is this real?

    Is it permanently available text? (Can highlight you)?

    This seems a strange way of working well - why not copied from the draw to Word?

  • Where is the arrow to copy and paste into the reader 11 DC? I can not find and use a lot.

    Help please because I can not find the arrow for the copy and paste tool in DC. They had one in the previous version, making it easy to find. I'm totally lost and need to find it.

    Hi Robin,

    In Acrobat Reader ms, you will find the option arrow in the Dock at the rate at the bottom of the page once you open the PDF file. It gets changed to the selection tool, once you place the cursor over the text or image, after selecting it you can easily copy (Ctrl + C) & Paste (Ctrl + V) it.

  • copy and paste from word document pdf document

    I want to copy and paste the information from my word document to my pdf document, sometimes it is difficult to make it stick. Y at - it an easy way.

    Not really. This is not normal or regular way of working with PDF files, for which edition is a last desperate resort.

    Generally, you can stick once you have selected the right to the tool for editing and selected from the existing text, but there is little useful reflow. You should do all the work in Word if possible.

  • Acrobat XI Windows 7 - impossible (copy and) paste form fields in different PDF.

    In order to maintain a consistent look and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few independent form (text, checkboxes) of a PDF Acrobat fields. Then I paste these fields in another PDF document that I am to fill.

    I do this because Acrobat does not define a default value for some attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an option deselected scroll, one font by default other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9 and X). Plus, it's save time to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF file, such as name, address, telephone. etc.

    We have just upgraded to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I can't paste copied fields on a different PDF.

    To help 'replace the pages' is not applicable, as I am sticking to a totally different form and copy the form fields with the settings I use.

    Is this a bug or something new that wasn't in Acrobat 8, 9 and X is?

    In addition, question about this forum - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - article which is somewhat different from my current question.

    I found that the "selection of export that" both the functions 'copy with formatting' were able to go directly to Excel without using a Word, although it also works. The key in Excel is simply use ctrl + v to paste, do not right click and try to use a special dough or the default value, which went to "keep text only".
