Word Document - Save as PDF: Stop "Restrict Editing"

Some time ago I needed to save a Word document as a restricted PDF, (with Restrict Editing checked).

Ever since then when I save any Word document as PDF, the Restrict Editing box is automatically checked.

How do I permanently stop this box from being checked on every save?

I can uncheck the box each time, but this gets tedious AND it plays havoc with other software I use if editing is restricted with a password.

Any suggestions?

The "Save as PDF" command in Word is a Microsoft function. It has nothing to do with Adobe.

Try asking in a Microsoft forum.

I thought that would be the answer. Already asked our friends at Microsoft and am still waiting...

Thank you.

Did you ever get an answer from Microsoft about the "Save as PDF" question?
