I keep receiving error message "These Documents have security settings which prevent comparison"  Can I change the security settings so I can compare?

Thanks

Tony

Hi Tony,

As error message given, "Documents have security settings which prevent comparison" this error message appears when any one or both the documents are secure.

Open File>right click> Document Properties>Security

I keep receiving error message "These Documents have security settings which prevent comparison"  Can I change the security settings so I can compare?

Document's security settings are generally created by the owner, while creating it. You can change the document's security settings only if you own it or you need to contact to the owner of the file.

Regards,

Akanchha

Thanks for updating the discussion Tony. Great that you have got the issue resolved.

Signing is the last steps. Once you Sign on the document, it get secured. Which doesn't allow to make any changes in it.
