[Eileen5CE1]

I am the user of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. How can I set the permission password in such a way that I can protect document being edited and receiver is able to sign without asking for permission password to unlock document. thank you

Hi,

There are various security settings that can be set, although please note that Adobe products will adhere to the security restrictions that you apply, but third party products may or may not adhere to them as the PDF is an open standard which can be implemented by anyone.

That being said, if you go to File->Properties.

Then you can see all the options that you can set with a password, if you select "Password Security" from the drop down list.

Hope this helps

Thanks & Regards

Add a signature field to the document and allow signing the document.

If it is for receiver to initial on every page and sign on a particular page, how to I add a signature field? And after which, how do i do the correct setting for password to open document and allow receiver can view and sign without prompting for permission password to unlock document. Please note that this document need to have password to protect being edited by the receiver. thank you

[Bernd Alheit]

Use Tools > Prepare Form and add the signature field.

[Eileen5CE1]

(1) I need to set password for reciver to open document

(2) I need to set password to protect document being edited by the receiver

(3) It allows the receiver to view, initial on every page and sign on the particular page without promopting for permission password to unlock document

Above is my requirement, grateful if you can show/screenshot all the steps to me. thank you

[Bernd Alheit]

Look at the already posted screenshots.

[Eileen5CE1]

sorry i can't find your posted screenshots. Pls advise, thank you

[Bernd Alheit]

That's not possible. If the file has a file-open password then the signed one will have it as well.

[Eileen5CE1]

I don't quite understand. Do you mean it is impossible for receiver to have file-open password (to view and sign) and yet do not have protection password to edit?

The highlighted part is what's not possible. If you applied a file-open password the only way to remove it (legitimately) is by editing the file using Acrobat and changing the security policy.

[Bernd Alheit]

It is possible to fill form fields and signing the document.

[Eileen5CE1]

That means I can only apply "file-open password" but not "protect password for edit" in the same document, otherwise the receiver will prompt for permission password to unlock document when she signs?

[try67]

You can apply either one, or both, but they work independently of each other. If you apply a file-open password it will always be asked for.

[Eileen5CE1]

pls show me the steps, thank you

[Eileen5CE1]

I need to set password to open the document because it is confidential. And also need to set protection password for being edited by the receiver. This pdf document is for receiver to view and sign only. Please advise what is the correct setting. thank you
