[WD24] - Protect a PDF
July 30, 2019 12:58PM
Hi All

My app creates via printing commands a PDF file. I want the PDF file to be protected against modification but otherwise allow viewing, printing, etc. Just no modify. Is there a way to do this without requiring the user to enter a password to open the PDF file? I know about the PDFPassword() function but this would require a password each time the document is opened. I want to allow anyone to open it but just not modify it. Is it possible?
