PDF files are secured and not printable when using "Save as PDF" in FM 2017

Question

DOOOH! I think I clicked something accidentally within the last week and don't know how to change it back.

When I use the "Save as PDF" function, the resulting files won't allow me to print. The top of the window displays the following: "filename.pdf (SECURED)". I don't see anything in the PDF Setup window regarding this.

The Help file wasn't helpful this time around. Anyone know where this setting is?

FM2017 on Windows 7.

Thanks!

Look in the Properties of the Adobe PDF "printer" installed on your workstation - on the Adobe PDF Settings tab there's an Adobe PDF Security dropdown field. Change it back to "None".

It's the joboptions you've set for PDF creation that control that - if you have the full version of Acrobat you can edit the joboptions file directly; if you only have the "headless" version that ships with FM, I think you need to go into the Print to PDF settings to mess about.
