Protect a PDF document

Hello, how can I protect a PDF document in a way that does not allow editing, copying, printing or emailing?

Hi johnt195320,

I want to mention that to protect a PDF document, you need Adobe Acrobat.

Please visit these links: permissions use security to protect PDF files in Adobe Acrobat | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials

Let us know if you face any problem.

Thank you!

  • Unable to make comments on a pdf document protected password in adobe acrobat dc on ipad

    Hello

    I received a password via email protected pdf that I opened in adobe acrobat ms on my ipad. I am prompted for a password that I go and can then open the PDF very well. However, I want to annotate the pdf document, but get the following message appears when I try to select the comment function, "restricted document: this tool is not available because document security settings.

    If I open the document on a windows device by using the adobe reader software, I can save and make fine annotations. I don't seem to be able to do it on the mobile app for iPad (Adobe acrobat cc).

    Is there a way around this for the iPad?

    Thank you

    Hi Ben,

    Please provide a detailed description of the problem.

    The contents of the PDF document protected by password is encrypted (so that no one can read the content until the password is entered).

    Mobile products Acrobat DC (for iOS and Android) have the known limit where the changes cannot be saved in encrypted PDF documents.  As a result, users are not able to make changes (addition of comments/annotations or forms) for encrypted PDF documents.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Protection and follow-up of PDF documents?

    Hello!

    We are about to build our new website and need to find a solution to make downloadable PDF documents available for the clients and members registered to our site (s) new (3).

    A colleague, I spoke, however, said that we must find a solution of some kind of protection against the unwanted distribution of PDF documents that we make available through our Web sites.

    Initially, I had no idea how to do that since it is a major issue for businesses all over the world who are already struggling with piracy, but he then mentioned something about Adobe Tracker software.

    Does anyone know if this is possible with Adobe Tracker? I read a little about this software, but it seemed very vague on what it is, that there really?

    Perhaps users Adobe Acrobat here experts can help me with some answers on this particular subject.

    Thank you very much!

    If a watermark is placed on a layer, it can be removed in 3 seconds. If it is part of the content of the page, but has not been merged into the underlying objects (while they are behind him) then it can be removed in 4 seconds as there is one extra mouse click.

    It is important to understand that PDF is an open standard, so if you can see a PDF file on the screen in the Adobe, you can all that you want with it. Only software Adobe is committed to respecting the security permissions in a file, so using LiveCycle DRM you gain two benefits - the file cannot be broken by hand, and it will not open in anything other than Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

    Can you tell us what your help program to print these PDF files? Adobe reader for example? The version of the program will help also greatly as well.
    Try this just in case where you use Adobe reader x.
    Open a PDF document. And to the toolbar above, select Edition, then Preferences.
    In the left pane, select 'General '.
    On the right side down, you will see an entry for 'Enable Protected Mode at startup,' with a checkbox next to it. Clear this check box, and then click ok. Try to print now and see if it works.
    If you don't have Adobe reader X, let me know what you have and I'll try to help more.

    Mozilla Firefox Acrobat Reader Plugin ignores the security setting of the PDF document.

    When, for example, the document is protected against printing (confirmed in Acrobat Reader DC 2015.007 20033) it is possible to print from Mozilla Firefox.

    Environment:

    Windows 7, Firefox 38.0, plugin for Adobe Acrobat Reader 15.7.20033.2203

  • Remove/cut a part of a PDF document

    Hello, this is probably a stupid question as it should be really simple, but I just can't understand how do;

    I'm cutting a single rectangular piece of a page (just a single page with a small part, I want to delete it) in a PDF document as a culture if you want to reverse. Tried to do it on Acrobat as well as preview Mac app and nothing works. I know this is easily done using a program to paint or something similar, but I spent so much time trying to figure out how do it on PDF editing programs and I just want to find a way.

    Thank you.

    Use the redaction tool. Acrobat Pro, it's under Tools - Protection.

  • Why does take 2 or 3 minutes to access a url of a hyperlink in a pdf document?

    With Adobe Reader locally or the plug-in on a Web site, it takes a lot of time for a url called by a hyperlink in a pdf document will appear in a browser window. Can anyone explain why this is happening and, hopefully, how to fix?

    I tried as simply as on Windows XP with Adobe Reader 11.0.10 and Firefox 36.0 - the link opens instantly.

    Try if disable Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Enhanced) protection] solves the problem.

    P.S., Drive 11.0.10 is not officially compatible with Windows XP, but it actually works very well.
