How do I print an encrypted PDF file .... to PDF
I have finished making a form fillable PDF. I want to put some restrictions on the form, so that end users cannot edit the forms or add additional text/move text around. When the users complete the form, I want them to be able to print the document to PDF. My current encryption is as follows:
Printing = allowed at high resolution
Changes Allowed = filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields
Right now, when I print the document to a printer, there is no issue. But, when I print the document to PDF, I get the following message:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I have read countless posts about not being able to print an encrypted PDF file to PDF, but that just is not accurate. I use form fillable PDFs all the time. Those PDFs have encryption, yet I can somehow print them to PDF.
This is beyond frustrating, so I figured I would ask to see if anyone knew how to make this work.
Thanks!
