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:

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
