Hello, everyone.
I would like to set-up an expiration date and/or time on a password assigned to a document to limit access to it.
Is there a way (simple, hopefully) to do this ?
Thanks in advance.

Problems watching embedded movies in PDF's on Acrobat 7

'The media requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to download the correct media player. To play the media, you will need to close and restart the application once the player installation is complete'
This takes me to the acrobat website where I get the error

Why won't my word docs convert to a pdf?
Running Creative Suite 4 - Mac 10.5.6 - have been able to open a word doc and then use the "print" function to create a pdf file - this file could be stored anywhere on my machine
Recently I am unable to use the "print" function to create pdf unless I save them just to the desktop (tried troubleshooting with Mac but we ran out of ideas)
Adobe had me uninstall and reinstall CS4 - and now I'm being told not to "print" but to do a "save as" - only challenge is that I get asked where I want to save the file - and then I get asked again but the second time it's looking for metadata (Title - Author - Subject - Keywords)
Everytime I call support I seem to get a different answer based on who I'm talking to... this used to work....what happened???? Hoping someone can help me!!!!!

Create a PDF form to allow users to upload an image in Adobe Reader?
Heres my MAC workflow.
CS4 Indesign > Acrobat Pro 9 >
Forms > Add Edit Form Fields
then I create a button. (where I want the image placed)
Options > Icon Only, Push
Action > Run Javascript
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
Extend features for Reader.
But no joy.
The image will upload in Pro
But I get an Error in reader
NotAllowedError: Security Settings prevent access to this property.
Really, it seem like an image upload would be such a standard requirement?
anyway how can I make this happen?
or if I am fighting a losing battle, tell me to quit wasting my time.
Small company, an enterprising solution is not in the budget.
Thanks!

Printing From Acrobat - Drawing Error
I post this message in the spirit of sharing information, hopefully to be of help others.
I recently encountered a problem after distilling a document from InDesign which, as an Acrobat PDF, would not print - giving three successive error messages:
1. The Document could not be printed.
2. There were no pages selected to print.
3. A drawing error occurred.
Well, that covers about everything !
After about an hour of patient diagnosis I discovered some erroneous characters had appeared in some bullet points and removal of these cured the problem.
I found them only after copying and pasting the text into Word (using the paste as "text only" option) and copying and pasting it back into InDesign. The spurious characters then appeared as a red-highlighted squares and could be easily deleted.
(Note: I had previously used the 'Show hidden characters' option in InDesign which did not reveal these little devils, neither did they 'appear' in the Word document)
I believe the erroneous character is probably a result of formatting which was in the original Word document imported into InDesign and which could be a 'flag' for bullet formatting (in Word).
The lessons I learned from this are:
patiently isolating the section of the document led to the discovery of the problem
be aware, in the future, of possible odd characters appearing (invisibly) from Word and corrupting InDesign documents.
Hope this may be of assistance.
I haven't given version numbers of my software since this is almost certainly not relevant - but the general principle is.

Form fields not printing
I've created an interactive form from a word document in Reader, but I'm having trouble printing it.
When I print the document the regular text all prints, but only some of the text fields print. In the print dialog I select print Document and Markups, so as far as I can tell everything should be printing. Interestingly, every time I print the same specific text fields always print out, and the rest are always blank... so it seems arbitrary, but not completely so.
If I print from Preview everything comes out fine, but I'd still like to know what I'm doing wrong in Reader.
I'm running Adobe Reader 7.0 on mac OS X 10.4.11
Thanks!

An error was encountered while processing images. An error was encountered while flattening transpa
I've looked around on the internet for a solution for this, but I'm finding no answers that help.
I keep getting the following errors in Acrobat Pro 9.3 when trying to use the pdf optimizer. It's driving me nuts. I'm trying to compress an Indesign CS5 generated pdf. It contains transparent objects, and all the images are .ai files.
If I leave the transparency box unchecked I immediately get this error:
An error was encountered while processing images.
If I check Transparency, it shows the little loading bar, as usual, and then when that's done I get this:
An error was encountered while flattening transparent objects.
The most annoying part of this, is that I've been using this same file for months now. Every so often the disclosures on it get updated, and I make the edits in Indesign, export, add form fields, and compress using pdf optimizer. Why all of a sudden is it grumpy? Is this a CS5 issue, because this form may not have been updated since I upgraded to CS5 from CS4?
I've tried swapping out the .ai files with newly saved CS5 versions. I've tried flattening layers pre-export. I cannot remove transparency, so that's not an option. But, as a test I removed all images before export and the pdf compressed fine. Any ideas? There's no broken links or anything in the Indesign file.

PDF: Can I re-align text?
I have a pdf (NOT the original document). At the top of each page is a headline that's centered. My client wants me to add on a few words to these headlines. However, when I do this, the text just adds to the right. I can't see where to re-align the text so it's once again centered. Or at least get them all left-justified. Any ideas?
I thought about deleting the headline and creating a new header... but I can't even figure out how to add in text (other than on the original line). I looked it up online and found something about the Text Annotation tool... but I can't find it in version 9. Would that be an option? Or is that just an editing tool?
And yes, I know Acrobat is not an editing program. But I don't have much choice in this situation, as there is no original document.
Thanks.

The update could not be applied because the Adobe Acrobat application contents were modified since the original installation.
Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat and check for updates again.

I don't want to have to reinstall Acrobat everytime there is an update. Can someone tell me how I can fix this?

How to type visible text in an Acrobat document?
Hi there.I totally don't know how to use Acrobat and I'd like to know how to fill up an Acrobat document.
Whenever I try to type text in the blank fields, nothing shows and I can't see if there is text or what I'm writing.
It would be nice to know how to make the text appear in black.
I've tried the different tools but can't change anything.
Thanks for any help.

PDF to epub??
Sorry if it's been asked. I did search, no results.
I'm using Acrobat X Pro and Creative Suite 5 Design Premium......
Can I export or save a PDF to epub format from within Acrobat X Pro? I'm not seeing anything. Seems like it would be a no-brainer to include that functionality.
I know Indesign CS5 does, and I realize I could place PDF pages into ID then export as epub... but I need the functionality within Acrobat so I don't lose links and page transitions already in place for the PDF.
Thanks!

Acrobat 8 asks for Administrator authentication.
I have installed Acrobat 8 Prof. for Mac as Administrator without problems on my Intel iMac. Started Acrobat the first time as Administrator as well and entered the serial number and user info. It works fine as long as I am logged in as Administrator.
However, logged in as standard user, a few seconds after Acrobat 8 started (even showing the document opened) it asks for Administrator authentication. Whether I enter the password or not: next time I start Acrobat again, it pops up again. The program itself seem to run fine with password supplied or with password dialog canceled. I have found a similar issue with Acrobat 7.0.7 and CS2 but it does not apply to me as I don't even have CS2...
How do I get rid of this message?
