affinise Posted April 29 Posted April 29 (edited) Designer and Publisher 2 are unable to open all pages of password protected pdf. Only the first page is shown. However it loads all pdf pages when there is no password protection. Can this be fixed? Edited April 30 by affinise Quote
Ron P. Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Welcome to the forums @affinise Is the password protected PDF one that you've created, and assigned a password? In my opinion, if it is not, then it's working as it should. If someone else encrypted that document, you need to contact that person to get the password. There's different levels/types of encryption you can create in Affinity apps. Quote Encryption Indicates the type of encryption that will be applied to the PDF, if you have chosen to require an Open password or a Permissions password. The encryption type is determined by the Compatibility setting. Require password to open When selected, the Open password will be required to open the PDF. When unselected, anyone can open the PDF. Open password With Require password to open selected, type the password that will be required to decrypt and view the PDF. In the box, click the eye icon to show or hide the open password. Click the clipboard icon to insert the contents of the Clipboard into the box. Require password for modification and printing When selected, the Permissions Password will be required to perform actions that you have chosen not to openly allow for the PDF, and to place the PDF in Affinity documents. When unselected, anyone can print, modify, copy from and place the PDF. Permissions password With Require password for modification and printing selected, type the permissions password for the PDF. In the box, click the eye icon to show or hide the permissions password. Click the clipboard icon to insert the contents of the Clipboard into the box. Affinity Designer online Help..

Hangman Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Hi @affinise, Assuming you have Load All Pages selected in the PDF Options window, then regardless, it should open all pages of the PDF, whether protected using an Open Password or a Permissions Password... If protected by both, then you'd need to enter the Permissions password to be able to open the file, which should then open all pages. Is it a file you can upload?
