If you have the error message: PdfReader not opened with owner password
Hi everybody,
I want to remind you that if you want to split/merge a document and pdfsam gives you the message “PdfReader not opened with owner password” it’s because you must provide the owner password to be able to manipulate the document. If Acrobat Reader doesn’t ask you for a password it’s because it opens the documents in “view” mode, but split and merge are “edit” mode and, as the error message states, you must provide a owner password.

I multi-scanned pages with IrfanView and CanoScan Toolbox (thereby creating multiple pdf files), and tried to create one pdf file out of the multiple pages (IrfanView can do that as well, but the resolution is not good then), but it does not work, because of this error. However, I never indicated a password, so I wouldn’t know what password to fill in. Neither can I change the security settings of the pdfs, or can I?
And if there would be a password (maybe it is the ‘owner name’), how could that be provided within PDFsam?
