Hello,

 

I create a PDF in Acrobat Pro DC with no security and It shows all permission flag allowed but when I open same PDF in Acrobat Reader DC some of permission flags are set to not allowed.

Check these images for references 

 

Acrobat Pro document properties 

Acrobat Reader document properties 

 

Not getting why it shows different !!

Hi,

 

The flags are correct because in Acrobat you have the right to do those things, whereas in Reader, those features have to be enabled by the PDF, as I guess, you are not enabling them the feature is "Not Allowed".

 

Regards

Hi Malcolm, Thanks for replying . Is their any way to change these security features with "No Security" Method. For example : I want to allow "Document Assembly" without any password or security method. Is it possible ? BR
