    What exactly do you mean by "read only". The phrase is thrown around, to mean a number of things, some of which don't even exist. I imagine you want to stop something or other, but what?

    The SBA requires that all documents filed with any PPP Application be "Read-Only" and rejects them out of hand if they are not so identified. I suppose they mean whan they receive the PDF it will be somehow clearly marked as "read only" and functionally not allow any alteration, only viewing.

    Hmm. Files certainly won't say "read only" because that isn't a standard PDF term. There's no technical definition of Read Only, and there are a number of things they could mean. Can you link to a page where they give any rules or specifications of what they require?
