When i run a batch sequence and use password security, i get an error message. The batch creates pdf's from Word docs. The error message says:
Error: This operation is not permitted.
Document: Dessicator IQ report2.doc
Command: Security
The pdf does get created but i get this message for each document that gets converted.
Any ideas what i should do to adjust my setup so i do not generate the error?
thanks

What security should i select if i want end users to only have view and print capabilities on the PDF? I will be batch processing many Word files to PDF.
Also can i incorporate a couple format fields into a PDF document during a batch process? I would like these feilds to show up on all sheets of the pdf.

If you are getting an error during batch processing, then you need to separate the operations. Run the conversion first, then run anything that modifies the document (like adding fields), and at the very end run the process that adds security to the doc.
It's not absolutely necessary that you have 3 different processes. Many times errors are caused by timing issues, i.e., one operation is trying to do something before the last one was finished. Document conversion is just the sort of thing that could cause this problem. You need to figure out what will work for your particular needs.

I'm having a similar errors using Adobe9. When I run the batch sequence -security- to encrypt all my PDF documents with a password, errors start popping up stating that 'operation is not permitted'. The batch sequence works on some pdfs but not all. Any known reason why this error is occurring and work around? Adobe9 will allow me to encrypt each document separately but that is not feasible with 5000+ documents
