Password protected fields: cursor lost text & several fields protected

I worked on password protecting the fields, with lots of help from previous messages by George Johnson: http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3314067#3314067

I'm doing a code request George provided to text fields, in particular, that seems to work very well. I have, however, met with two questions:

#1: lost the cursor:

(1.) I click on the text field

2.), I am invited to a password

(3.) I enter the password

(4.) the text field is confirmed to be "disabled".

Now, I have trouble with actually type in the text field. I can see the field has been disabled, but, once the password is entered, my text cursor is automatically in the field of disabled text. Other times, I can type the incorrect password, click 'ok' and always type in the text field. Strange, Yes? I wonder if it has problem of code or a user number (me). The latter is more likely

#2: best way to lock/unlock several fields? :

I have 8-10 domains that could be turned off and typed in. From now on, I think that this code should apply to each text field indivually - which is probably fine. With the form, however, a user may potentially want to type in all these areas protected by Word. Is there a way to just disable all fields of 8 with a single action - and relock then automatically their once typed in? If so, what is a clean way to do this?

#1 is my priority. #2 is just interesting to explore

Any help would be appreciated!

The code you use is intended to be the #2 case that you mentioned in your initial post. In other words, it is supposed to be triggered by a button or a bookmark for lock/unlock field group.

It seems you're wanting locking (set read-only) a field after the user enters a value, it that right? The problem is that fields that are set to ReadOnly are more interactive, so a mouse-up script cannot be triggered.

  • How to password - protect a text field button?

    With the help of Adobe Acrobat DC.

    A final touch on page 1 is titled: "the next Page: ADMIN only '."

    How do I password protect the button at the place where rises clicks the button, a password box would jump to the top (so that the next page access is restricted to admin staff only)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you ALL for you insightful wisdom and entry for this.

    And thank you, gkaiseril, for throwing in a sample script. Indeed, I'll start my great experience and see what I see.

    FYI to all: this is not a question of security sensitive or confidential, in what the admin page simply duplicate entries of students area of content on page one (so that our admin person can review the content for save/printout/distribution)...so final, even if a student somehow got around the protection of password for the hidden page template for example, no harm no fault, lol.

    Thanks again to you ALL for your wonderful help on this!

  • Password-protect and hide a form field

    Hello

    I was looking through old discussions in the forum looking for an answer to my question.  A code of George Johnson was really helpful, but there is a function more that I have to add to it and am struggling to figure out on my own.

    I created a PDF with form fields.  Different departments within the Organization will review this PDF and pass it back.  The Admin dept needs a text field called 'internal comments' that they can protect the password.  They would like to add text, then password - protect only one field so it is hidden for other departments that examine this PDF file.  Admin must copy either visible to them when they enter their password.

    The script that I found works really well (see below).  I created a button to hide the script, and when you click it, it locks and unlocks the "Internal comments" text field with the password.  However, I can't figure out how to HIDE the 'internal comments' field after someone in the Admin entered their information.   I tried setting up a field to show/hide action, but I can't make it work.  And I'm not enough common sense to know how to change the Javascript code.

    How can I specify that the 'internal comments' field remains HIDDEN when a user enters his password to 'disable this field' and VISIBLE when they enter a password to "activate this field? '

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    (function () {}

    is the opposite of the current state
    var readonly =! f.ReadOnly;

    var readonly_desc = readonly? 'disable': 'enable '.

    Request user password
    Var RESP = app.response({)

    break;

    default: / / wrong password

    You need to change two lines separated as follows:

    var readonly_desc = readonly? 'lock': "unlock";

    App.Alert ("the fields are now" + readonly_desc + "Ed", 3);

  • Cannot use editiable 'form' on App fields when the document is password protected. Used to be able to...

    We have created manuals on Adobe Pro which has fields to fill in edit for notes and it is password protected. Everything seemed to work perfectly on PC and Mobile Devices until this past weekend when we noticed that on mobile device, edit the fields are locked. The security settings are defined for the user to change the editable fields.

    Hello

    When the password is applied to a PDF document, the PDF document will be encrypted.

    Acrobat Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) have the known limit where the changes cannot be saved in encrypted PDF documents.  As a result, users are not able to make any changes (for example to fill in forms or add annotations/comments) to encrypted PDF documents.

    As you already know, there is no such limitation in the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Is it possible to make some fields in an editable PDF password protected?

    Hi all

    I do an editable PDF to send to customers, the first part of the form I filled each time and it will be different for each customer, then I will send the form and they will be filled in the second half of the form.

    Is it possible that the wick inserted my password protected so that the customer cannot change what I wrote?

    Thank you

    Michael

    No, except if divide you it into two separate files. Security and encryption on a PDF is a feature at the file level and cannot be different pages or objects of the page.

  • How to read that a password protected PDF on my Kindle. I have the password and I am allowed to read. This is the manual school related.

    I want to read PDF on my Kindle. Read books of text on a computer, it's not what I want to do every time.

    Hi robertc75438092,

    How to access a PDF protected on a Kindle

    The major advantage for PDF files, is that you can distribute documents to a wide variety of platforms, including the Amazon Kindle. While the Kindle opens most PDF files without any difficulty, you can run in trouble if the PDF file has password protection applied. The Kindle will open PDFs protected by password, but not if the PDF file has digital rights management applied. Most of the models of Kindle cannot open DRM encrypted PDF files, but you can download an app, qPDF, to Kindle fire which allows you to open PDFs encoded with DRM.

    No - DRM Protection password: -.

    Step1 highlight the PDF file.

    Step 2 press the 5-way control to open the PDF file. If your Kindle is a touch screen, tap the PDF file to open it. This will open a dialog box that asks you the password.

    Step 3 type the password.

    Step 4 Select the 'OK' button and press the control button 5. Press the 'OK' button on the touchscreen models.

    Coded DRM of PDFs on the Kindle Fire: -.

    Step 1: click the "Apps" tab from the home page to open the applications menu.

    Step 2, click on the "Store" link in the upper right corner of the page to access the Kindle app store.

    Step 3 Type qPDF Viewer in the field "search".

    Step 4 press the "Free" button next to the qPDF online Viewer. The 'Free' button will change to "install".

    Step 5 press the button "install". The application will download and install to your Kindle Fire. When you are finished, you will see a button 'open '.

    Step 6 press the 'Open' button to launch the application.

    Step 7 tap the

    Step 8 press the "open" button to select a PDF file to open it.

    Step 9 tap on the PDF you want to open. You will see a dialog box asking you to enter a password.

    Step 10, type the password.

    Step 11 press the 'OK' button to open your PDF file.

    I will recommend you to consult the Kindle support team, they will help you with the details.

    Kind regards

  • Password protected sharing

    I've set up according to the "book" of password protected sharing and I only get "access denied" from Vista or XP machines. All the account names and passwords are correct on both computers.

    If I put 'All' in the list then everything works but of course no security.

    Thank you Anthony T for you answer.

    Everything now works as it should in the first place, hope it holds for several days.

    My solution (s):

    1. wait a day, or
    2. turn off the XP machine, then press, or
    3 turn off the Windows Firewall on again.
    4. clear your "outer" firewall for a day, do work things out and then turn it back on.

    One of these (or all three) or none of them did the trick.

    Thanks for help you, I was definitely lost.

  • Acrobat Standard XI associate a file password protected?  '' Portfolio '' appear only not available in Acrobat XI Std.

    I can't combine the password protected files using Acrobat XI Standard.  You don't seem to have a choice to allow the extraction of page if you are not allowing to document the changes.

    Aid seems to say use a portfolio. The portfolio is available in Standard XI?  If not how do allow extraction of page when I'm not what people to change content, other than to fill in form fields and add comments?

    You can use one main document and add forms as attachments.

  • Adobe DC / problem with password protected documents

    I downloaded Adobe DC on my Tablet for school work. When I try to open my book it is password protected and I can't enter my login details... Please help?

    Hello

    Do you have a user name and password field or just a password field to enter your login information? Is your PDF file, "ProtectedPDF" by Vitrium? Currently, Adobe Acrobat DC on mobile devices does not support third-party pdf files protected by DRM. You will need to open the same on the desktop.

    Thank you.

  • Palm Desktop password protection

    Although I no longer use my handheld device Palm (Treo 755 p) I use the desktop app from Palm on my computers, mainly because I like the software allows for the protection of specific password of any given note, contact, or another entry.  When I recently added software for my new Surface 2 Pro 8.1 Windows running, it seems to work correctly.  However, when I tried configured for password protect the program, it shows that a password is not assigned and notes that I have to put a password in the device.   The device has a password, but I can't connect to the Surface either via USB or Bluetooth.   Apparently, the two are incompatible.  However, the kicker is that on my tablet running Windows 7, the password that I use to enter the desktop application is NOT the same as that defined for the device.   I don't remember how I put this on the Windows 7 computer, but I guess I had connect both devices.   Please help if you know of a way for me to use my password on the Surface without connecting to the Palm, or if you know how I can connect the Palm to the Surface Pro.    FYI, when I use bluetooth to try to connect to the Surface and the Palm, a password is generated for the Bluetooth connection and as soon as I get it, I indicate that it is connected to the Palm.  However, after about 5 seconds, it shows no connection.  The same result occurs whenever this is attempted.

    Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

    Not sure about the problem of password.  There are several users in the program?  Could you be redirected to another by mistake?

    Most likely the Surface runs a 64-bit version of Win8, correct?

    You should see the message sticky at the top of this section on the 64-bit drivers USB for Palm Desktop.  This can allow you to Hotsync via a USB cable.

    This is the first post I've seen on the synchronization to a tablet of Surface!  Please keep us informed as to the outcome.
