Hi there,

I am running Adobe CS4 Professional and have just recently been given a source file designed in CS3 to amend. Problem is, I cannot edit it as when I attempt to publish the file it gives me the error “CANNOT OPEN PROTECTED MOVIE”.

How do I lift this protection?

Your URGENT assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
