Give script rights to adjust a secured document

[Wardenburg]

Hey Everyone,

I have a pdf form that's secured (with a password) from unwanted editing (or possibly some light protection against people stealing the forms' scripts etc.)

However, I'd like to have a script remove certain empty pages when printing the pdf.

I got the script working as desired however when the editing password isn't entered the script gets a 'no rights' error when it tries to remove the empty page as instructed.

My question is this:

Is there a way to certify this on-print script so that it can remove the empty pages?

Thank you in advance for any trouble to be taken.

Not possible. What you can do, though, is open the Print dialog and populate it with the desired page numbers, omitting the empty ones.

It's then up to the user to print it using those pages. They can change it if they want to, though.

Hey there try,

Too bad, I guess the question will be what's more important to the users.

thank you for your swift response
