    This will save a form.pdf as a flatfile.pdf. If you require it as a form PDF, you will need to select under forms / create to recreate all the form fields then save again.

    I get an error message when I try to open the secured PDF in chrome. Error: Failed to load PDF document.
    I can otherwise open the file in Acrobat (I need the FileOpen plug in), but it is secured so I can't print it

    Hello there... I am trying to open a pdf password locked file but it says things like it's encrypted and kind of difficult for asking them apps to unlock it...help me out ( the PDF was shared in a WhatsApp group without a password and the person who shared it is no longer part of the group.) I don't have your email address to share the file or WhatsApp number....

    @raphaelromulo8841 3 года назад

    What type of file is it if I can't even do what you did in the video? I tried to press the print button, but it seems protected or locked as well. When I tried it with other documents, the print button worked fine.

  • @saharhelmy2023
    @saharhelmy2023 2 года назад

    the output file contains only the following text................
    %%[ 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. ] %%
    what can I do????

  • @egresadounimag

    Hi. Someone can tell me how to protect a pdf document, so that when it is copied to another format, only small squares or other images appear and not the original text (􀀟􀀒􀀉􀀆 􀀍􀀇). In addition, it is not possible to remove the protection with an online converter. How is this level of protection achieved with professional acrobat? Thank you
