On the Word doc, I’ve opened the print screen with the print preview displayed. In the screenshot I have the Word doc beside the one I converted to PDF.

I created a new (clean) Word doc with a page border to capture the attached screenshot with my current crazy question about the Print Preview. I have restored the Border and Shading settings to what they were and deleted the new paper size option I created. I modified the page border settings from the Format/Borders and Shading menu, as well as settings from the Page Setup/Paper Size menu to create a new papersize to extend the print area borders. In my attempts to use suggestions found on the Internet, I changed some of the print settings (like margins) but was never able to print with the edge border. Someone provided me with a Word document that had page borders at the edge (0 margin), that wouldn’t show up when I printed to or saved as a PDF document.

(Apple calls it the “owner” password Adobe, the “permissions” password.This question doesn’t seem to have any affect on my documents, but it’s driving me crazy!!! The password that opens a file doesn’t allow its possessor to modify a PDF’s permissions-only the owner password has that privilege. When you choose File > Duplicate and then save the file, choose File > Export > PDF, or File > Export as PDF, or hold down Option and choose File > Save As, Preview’s options in the Save dialog no longer include the password fields, replacing them with a Permissions button.Ĭlick this button, and you can separately set Require Password To Open Document at the top and Owner Password at the bottom. Any additional file controls had to be set in another program.īy adding PDF-level permission control to Preview, Apple also had to update how you set a password for the file. However, this password only controlled whether someone possessing it could open the file.

Monterey changes up the PDF permissions game, starting with the Save dialog.īefore Monterey, Preview let you set a password when you used File > Save As for a PDF file or chose File > Export as PDF.
