Did you use Adobe Acrobat to make the file? How was it made from Vector Works?

Hi ,

Yes I did create the original file.  I can open it and view it in reader and pro. but when i want to open it in photoshop it asks for a permissions password.

the export command in VW is pretty straight forward export command.  the diaolgue box doesnt offer any options for security.


Let's check one more thing in the document's Properties. Under the Description tab. What is shown for "Application" and for "PDF producer"?
