Why is this document locked by a password?

Wow, I want that technology. A document that self identifies Kirby and goes into lockdown mode. It opened fine for me. ;-P |
|

Interesting. At work (using IE 7 under Win XP), Acrobat claims it can't decode the document. At home (using Firefox 10 under Ubuntu) a password request window appeared.
It probably didn't identify me, it just got out of the way of the llama flamefront.

It worked for me using Firefox. |

Please see image. This is with Ubuntu document viewer. A different but equivalent window appears when trying to open the document with xpdf. "admin" doesn't work. kirby |

Otay pinky, next we put the Kirby code in all software and THEN we conquer the world!! |

Opening with Gimp also fails. I suspect that the US web site, where I downloaded the document from, is not the same site as others have succeeded with, or else I have a strange set of pdf readers, or Anav, it wasn't the USG 50 user guide that you downloaded. kirby |

Kirby.... aka user of Luddite browsers. The message is clear. Time to go home, to the Tennessee back hills and forget technology, be one with nature and a banjo. |

On openSUSE 12.1 - acrobat - opens the doc - okular - asks for password - gimp - says it's encrypted, doesn't ask for pasword Looks line linux folks have to update their pdf handling libraries.

I was able to open it using Preview on a Mac (10.7 Lion). The videos don't work, of course. |

Anav: One would think that you would recommend downtown Memphis to be one with the blues and a guitar.
Acrobat 8.2 also complains within IE7 on a computer I don't control. I'll have to see about Adobe Reader X if I can find a way to download the file outside of the browser. But it won't do me any good unless I can get something running under Ubuntu to allow me to reference it without having to print it.

Isn't there Adobe Acrobat reader available for Ubuntu? Should be. |

Apparently there is, according to my preliminary web research last night, either from Adobe or via the Medibuntu repository. It will be another day before I can get to experimenting with it.

My above screenshots are from openSUSE linux. It runs "acroread-9.4.7-3.7.1.i586" and I could open the file just fine. |

Brano:
I found Acroread 9.4.7 available for installation for Lucid in the Ubuntu Software Center app, installed it, and the ZyXEL USG 50 document opens with no complaints. As your images above imply, Adobe's recent ability to restrict Acrobat from changing a pdf document requires encryption, and the freeware pdf readers evidently do not include decryption.

The 3.0 User's Guide is a "measly" 160 pages, compared with the near 1000 of the 2.2 Guide. But you get some videos, making the byte count 2.5 times larger. And it appears to be completely rewritten. Plus, it includes IPv6 instructions.
At this point I can't determine what essential information one might have to look up in the 2.2 Guide, so I'm not going to be in a hurry to send it to the Great Bit Bucket in the Sky.

The embedded videos are not playing on my system though (looks like the handler is not properly registered and it want's do download some player from adobe site). ...I'll have to tinker with this but it's low priority for me. |
|
|
I have to admit not trying the videos. And now that I've tried one, I find it wants to download a player for x-shockwave-flash. Catch 22: Adobe claims it doesn't have a Unix version (or something to that effect) so the site doesn't download anything.
This is strange, because Firefox under Ubuntu includes an x-shockwave-flash as part of Adobe Flash Player. But opening the User's Guide in Firefox just pulls in Acroread which tries the same unsuccessful download.
I guess I'll have to research this further. My guess is that this User's Guide was not proofed under Linux.

... which raises the question of whether the following was worth the search.
How to get the videos to play is unclear. All the Flash questions I came upon on the web were related to Mozilla/Firefox and not Acrobat Reader. The plugin for Firefox flash is [I think] in usr/lib/firefox-10.0.2/plugins as libflashplayer.so, which is actually a link to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so. This latter directory also includes libflashplayer.so. Also in usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin is a copy of libflashplayer.so.
There are similar file types in Reader at opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/Intellinux/lib. If I screw up my courage, I might try putting a copy of libflashplayer.so there to see what happens.

No luckAdding libflashplayer.so into Reader9's library did not seem to break anything, but it also didn't help the problem.

The User's Guide appears to have been built in Framemaker, which I assume was used to embed the videos. Although the Guide directs the user to view the video using Reader 9, and my Reader 9 has the multimedia app included, Reader complains and sends me off to Adobe.com. However, it sends me to a page for Acrobat/Reader 6 that informs me it won't download whatever it is that Reader 9 was looking for (seemingly some version of mime=application/x-shockwave-flash) that may not exist for use in Linux, or may not exist at the pointed-to URL.
I recommend that XyZEL put up the videos on their site for viewing and/or downloading in a form that Linux browsers can render, or put them on YouTube. Firefox 10 certainly has no problem with rendering YouTube Flash, or even the more complex Flash used by Crunchyroll for streaming video.
Firefox can't, however, render the embedded videos because if I open the User's Guide in Firefox, it hands over the file to its embedded version of Reader 9, and video rendering is again stymied. Where is Capt. Yossarian when one needs him.

I love Windows 7 .... And I love IE9 ... That combo just screems and rock solid to boot. Linux, Unix, x this and x that .... Ugh. |

Heh! I suppose I could try my wife's incredibly slow Win7 laptop, once it finished taking significant chunks of an hour to update itself along with a few reboots that Linux rarely needs. But I will avoid addressing Microsoft integrity and the merits of Microsoft's OS, as I could never, even in unlimited space but finite time, do justice to the issues others have documented over the years.
But there is a kernel of an idea in here. Install Firefox on Win 7. Install download helper or use an equivalent on IE. Open the User's Guide pdf file in the browser. Play video. Capture video (if possible). Move video to Ubuntu PC from which I would normally do router configuration. Maybe there is merit to your assertion, mozerd, if all that work leads to being able to use the videos in situ.
This assumes that the videos are useful at supplementing the written information. I don't see how they could make up for cutting 970 pages of the ver.2 User's Guide down to 160 pages of the ver.3 User's Guide.

WOW, you certainly enjoy doing things the hard way ... I on the other hand like doing stuff the easy way and my Windows 7 laptop SCREEMS speeeeeed. Perhaps you should hire a IT expert to optimizer your wife's Win 7 laptop cause it most certainly is driving her into the Mac camp |
