Acrobat software allows users to create Adobe PDF documents with password-protected security settings, including “Changing PDF Not Allowed” and “Selection of Text Not Allowed.” If you re getting an error message, contact the author of the Adobe PDF document to see if they ll provide the password or disable the security settings, then resubmit the document.
