Password protected PDF will not open

[camelot217]

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....

I don't need to open it in Xara. Xara creates a PDF file that I can't open in Acrobat. I get the error message. I can open it fine if I don't create the PW.

using XDP9, the password protections open fine in Acrobat XI once I provide the password.

thanks for checking in ver 9 mike

@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.

test-pdf-export-with-password-1.xar Here is a test xara file I can't export as PDF (with password) without getting an error message Plus the PDF file it creates.

Not sure if this helps.

Thanks...

Interesting, I can't open that, get the error message. So something is wrong on my side with the pdfs

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).
