  • pdf protected with password

    Posted by Hugh Potter on August 10, 2011 at 3:58 pm

    as per the title. been sent a pdf that required a password to import it into corel, it’s slightly the wrong aspect and I need to change it in order to fit the panel size on our new sponsors signage down my rugby club.

    the sponsor has simply said that the squash clubs designer did it but, has not told me who or which club before leaving work early and not being in until friday (hot) no info on the metadata.

    any way around it? would a rip drag it straight out or would that need to use the password too? obviously I don’t want to start mucking about and having people bringing in their own sign co’s as this is a package deal with the club

    why on earth password protect a design which uses the customers logo’s anyway? not like its original work from what I can make out.

    to top it off, it’s too big to attach here. gonna find a wall in a mo and start banging my head.

    used to be if simple password was used but not had much luck last time i tried hacking them with these later version.

    i know its one of those phone calls to the designer sadly… it maybe a default setting on his export to pdf

    If print isn’t blocked then print it to a pdf printer.
