Someone splashed concrete on our steel outside door. Can this be removed without hurting the door finish.

Maybe. Depends partly on how much there is, and how thick it is. Any acid will dissolve it; some acids may/will harm the finish or even the door. I think I'd try lemon juice. It's pretty benign.

Nobody ever left footprints in the sands of time by sitting on his butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?
Not likely, but good luck.
Vinegar is a mild acid that might do the trick, dilute muriatic acid will certainly handle it, but might conceivably damage the finish.

Tap the splatters lightly with a hammer to crush the cement and wipe with soap and water.

Use a hard rubber mallet, if you've got one.
