Hi -

I want the first document in my portfolio to be the first document others see when they open the portfolio. However, every time I open the portfolio to see how it will look, it wants the password for a secure document in the portfolio - then opens to that document. Is there an easy fix to this that I am missing??

Details:
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
I have 5 PDF documents in my portfolio. The first 2 are not password protected, but the last 3 are.
I have added an 'Index' sorting column, numbered my documents 1-5, and set the initial sort order to 'Index'.

What am I missing??

Thanks in advance for the help!

It's not difficult to do what you want, however it's not yet part of the Acrobat user interface (sorry!) so you need to apply the changes by running a few lines of JavaScript in the console.

As it takes a bit of explanation, I've posted a quick tutorial in my blog for you:
