I have 514K Pdf file that I can create, export and open with no problem. When I apply security, 'File Open Password' and 'Encryption and Permission' PW it will no longer open. I get an error message: There was an error opening this document. There was a problem reading this document.
Any ideas?
I'm using XDP9
Tom
in which program did you apply the security? and in which program do you get the error message when you try to open it?
I applied it inside XDP9 and when the export is done I get the error message. When I go the file itself and try open it I get the same message.Quote:

'The owner of this document has not given permission for it to be edited.'
to be honest that is what I expected - have you ever opened a password protected PDF in xara before?
I have version 11 and I can't get it to open. I don't think I have opened a password protected PDF in Xara before. Never had the need to.
However, when I try open this file in Xara I get the same message as you.... not given permission.
I just want to assign PW for a book so it's a little more inconvenient to distribute. I know there a digital delivery services that handle that but they charge too much.
ok but as far as I know xara pdf import does not have password-capable opening
why do you need to open it in xara?
if you want to check it you can use adobe reader if not acrobat, or one of the non-adobe equivalents that has password-capable opening
version 11 ?
xara is only to version 9, or 10 for WD....

using XDP9, the password protections open fine in Acrobat XI once I provide the password.
OK, thanks. Not happening for me.Quote:

@camelot217 - ok sorry, but this is the first time you actually mentioned acrobat, up to then you had only mentioned xara, and 'ver 11' was not clear to me
No worries... I should have mentioned that.Quote:

Not sure if this helps.

If you also have Reader installed, try it. In any case, you should be able to run a repair on Acrobat from Window's control panel, where you would go to uninstall it, and possible the help menu in Acrobat (iirc).
