    word perfect lightning
    « on: September 20, 2012, 05:15:08 PM »
    i am running a wordperfect X5 program for my word processor. this version comes with a pdf viewer called word perfect lightning.  most times everything goes as planned and i can view the content without problem.  sometimes though, i small box appears saying the site is "password protected" and wanting me to type a password.  well, i have no idea what password it wants, as i am only trying to open a restaurant menu for christ's sake.  has anyone ever experienced this problem?  and what do i do to either avoid, or solve this problem??

    Try it with a freebie called Foxit Reader...lightweight but very good app.
    See if it does the same thing.

    PS: I just thought of something...pdf's have the optionof password protection...are you sure lightning isn't a pdf editor ? ?
    That would trigger a password prompt.

    At any rate DLoad and try Foxit.

    It could be it's asking you to type in the password per-emptively if you want to edit it. I would say go for Foxit, it's a great reader. I would disable the browser plugin it asks to install, a lot of drive-by malware is delivered through PDF now.

      Right clik a PDF file in Explorer...
      Select Open With...then point it to Adobe Reader in the dropdown list...
      Then check the box "always use this app to open this filetype"...
