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

the file was created in Vectorworks.>export as PDF>opens in adobe reader> import to photoshop> "permissions password required..... I dont know what the password is or where it was set or how to turn it off.

Ok, this confirms that Acrobat isn't involved in any way in setting the password. It is something VectorWorks does. I wonder if you are using a "watermark" version that adds a stamp to each page? If so it might be protected to stop anyone taking off the watermark.


it is a watermarked version.  does that mean that it is set by the program automatically?
