[Best]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi

A client who has a pdf file running on Windows XP pro SP2. The option of
"Select all", "Copy" and "Paste" are disabled, enrypted.

Is there anyone who knows any way to enable or decrypt it ?

Many thanks

Best

Have you tried re-installing your PDF reader?

You'll neeed to purchase Adobe Acrobat as the free Adobe Reader
is used strictly for reading .pdf documents.

I don't understand the answer. I have Adobe Reader 7.0, and have no
problem. Simply right click and you'll see the options.

Authors of pdfs can make them so you can only read not copy (or print).

Hi Best,

Thanks for posting here. Also thanks for all guys' replies.

From your post, my understanding of this issue is: A client who has a pdf
file running on Windows XP Pro SP2, and the option of "Select all", "Copy"
and "Paste" are disabled, enrypted in Adobe Reader (Acrobat). If this is
not correct, please feel free to let me know.

Please understand, Adobe Reader (Acrobat) is not Microsoft's product, so I
think it might be better if you contact Adobe for further support. You may
visit:

http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html

However, based on my experience, I aggre with David, some of PDF files are
encrypted by the authors who can prevent readers from copying or modifying.
You may not decrypt them at all.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,
Tom Che

I don't understand your answer, sir. I have Adobe Reader 7.0. A right click
opens the options "select all" "copy" and. if applicable, "paste". Ad of
course it also possible to select and copy selectively.

After your answer I am still more stupid. See what you've done! If at least
you'd care to explain to me in simple terms, even I could maybe understand.

The person who made that PDF said you can't copy it. So, you can't copy it.
