Question
Document security showing 'not allowed' - but only when viewed with Reader.
We are running into an unusual situation with multiple documents at our agency. When viewing the properties>security with Adobe Reader, it shows that a couple of items are locked.
The documents should not have any security on them. In a couple of situations, the locked documents were actually flattened forms that were created by printing to a new PDF. Adobe Reader is the only PDF reader that show this security. Adobe Acrobat Pro does not - nor do other non-Adobe products.
Versions that we are running:
Acrobat Pro 2023.003.20201
Reader 2023.001.20143
