'pdfreader not opened with owner password' error message

Post by Maya_t »

Hi,

Im building a target and I get this message : pdfreader not opened with owner password, and the build fails.
I checked Adobe Acrobat Reader and I am signed in.
Any ideas where else to look?
Thanks.

I know this is a several year old topic, but in case anyone else runs into this error:
I had the same error.
Realized that I had added a PDF to the TOC as a reference topic. It turned out that the PDF was secured with a password. During publishing of the manual, Flare couldn't open the reference PDF, so the publishing of the entire manual failed.
Solution: unprotect the added PDF, or add the items from the PDF as separate .htm topics
