Filling out form with security

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have 4 PDF files that I need to be able to fill out and save/print.
2 are open with no security (should be easy)
2 have Password Security.

These are the Security Settings
Security Method: Password Security
Document Open Password: No
Permissions Password: Yes
Printing: High Resolution
Changing the Document: Not Allowed
Commenting: Allowed
Form Field Fill-in or Signing: Allowed
Document Assembly: Not Allowed
Content Copying: Not Allowed
Content Accessibility Enabled: Not Allowed
Page Extraction: Not Allowed

When I do a savetofile() it creates a empty txt file and a blank pdf document. 

Is there another method to do this? The Pdf supplier wont unlock the PDF. We don't have the password to unlock it on our own. I have the right permissions to open it up in reader and fill out the fields then save as. I just want to do this programmatically.

Side note.. The other file that is secured does not actually have fields, so I also need to figure out a way to just paint in the values into the pdf. We might drop support on that file if its too hard to do.

	Hi! You should use the (advanced) search-function above with SetNeedAppearance: http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/search_results_posts.asp?SearchID=20100610064249&KW=SetNeedAppearance The other point: Check with the textextraction-functionality and option 3 (=with positions and more) where the text is where you want to insert/draw something. Keep the positions, do some modifications with the position and draw your strings... Before doing this you should use the unencryption after load. BTW: Any questions about coding... use the search function here... use the help-pages on the official product website. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
