    PDF document password protection


    My wife doesn't know what she did, so what did happend; on screen appeared few times something about some pdf documents protection. So she just pressed YES but didn't set a password ( that's what she claims ). Now when I try to access those documents it needs a password. I tried blanc, but no use. Any other pdf document can be accessed. Also, those 2 documents been downloaded from e-mail and they are some utility bills, so they are from trusted source. Can this protection be cancelled?

    :)

    Password protected PDF document not opened with E7-00.

    Dear all,



    Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.



    It is quite disappointing with this phone !

    OneDrive - Password protected PDF - comments and protection

    Hi

    I regularly use Onedrive to read PDFs via the OneDrive Viewer, on both Android and IOS11 App's without issue. I often use the in-built highlighter and comments tools to annotate PDF's again without any issues.

    However I have a PDF issued by a 3rd Party which is password protected to prevent all actions (copying text, photos, comments, highlight etc) with the exception of opening the file. i.e. I can open the PDF without a password and read it. I have opened
    the file in Acrobat Reader DC, it confirms I cannot do anything except open and read the document.

    When I use OneDrive viewer, it allows me to open this file, but also allow highlighting and comments etc, somehow side stepping the PDF protection. However when it comes to sync the file OneDrive then extends the password protection to also include opening
    the file. As a 3rd party set this password I can not longer access the file or see any of my comments....

    Is this a known bug, something is not right here?

    Andy

    PDF document password protection

    OneDrive - Password protected PDF - comments and protection

    Hi APL, if the original file is password protected, try this:

    Open the PDF on your PC

    Choose Print

    Select the Microsoft XPS Document Writer as the printer

    Save the XPS document to your Desktop

    Open the XPS Document and choose File - Print

    Choose Microsoft Print to PDF

    Save the PDF to your Desktop

    You should then be able to Edit/annotate that PDF file . . .
