Help!
I have created a PDF file (from a PageMaker publication) using an old version of Distiller, at which point, I couldn't find out how to apply 'read' and 'print' passwords. So I tried to do what I've always done (I think!) and 'save a copy as...' with the new settings — only I couldn't seem to find out how to do it! I can access the existing settings (= no passwords at all), but I can't seem to find where to change them and then save as a different PDF? Is this because I've us... See more Help!
I have created a PDF file (from a PageMaker publication) using an old version of Distiller, at which point, I couldn't find out how to apply 'read' and 'print' passwords. So I tried to do what I've always done (I think!) and 'save a copy as...' with the new settings — only I couldn't seem to find out how to do it! I can access the existing settings (= no passwords at all), but I can't seem to find where to change them and then save as a different PDF? Is this because I've used the old version of Distiller (v 3.01!) and this earlier PDF format (PDF version 1.2) didn't have such security settings?
Normally, I create my PDFs by 'printing' to primo PDF, but sadly, Pagemaker won't allow me to do this, and so I can only seem to do it via Distiller.
Any help / guidance would be gratefully received; if all else fails, could anyone please take my file and re-save it for me with corrected security settings? It's only a 2-page document, I think the PDF file size is less than ½ Meg. Or I could supply the PM original, or the PS export file, if anyone could do it from either of those?
Thanks, in advance, for any help you may be able to give!
And may I wish holiday Seasons' Greetings to all my readers!

changing the security settings of the current pdf? It should be in the Advanced>Security>Encypt with Password menu (if you want to use a password)

TOPIC STARTER SITE LOCALIZER | Thanks, Zoltán, but I don't seem to have those options | Dec 29, 2009 |
the problem is, I only have the latest version of Acrobat Reader (i.e. not full Acrobat), which doesn't seem to have these options (or at least, I can't find them!)
I can view the current security settings OK, but there doesn't seem to be any way of actually accessing them to modify them.
I assume these options must only be available in full Acrobat — if they are there in my old Distiller, then I certainly can't find them. But the odd thing...

| This shareware might be suitable | Jan 7, 2010 |
Tony:
Perhaps consider something like this shareware product "A-PDF Password Security 1.4.7" ($27). Note: I have not used it myself; my only information is the web page where this link points:
