Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Acrobat 8 & Some PDFs


Am I correct in that rights enabled allows the completed form to be
saved by the reader when the document is saved?

Yes

BTW we have been using iText for a couple of years, to complete W4
PDFs.  The resulting PDFs work in Acrobat versions 4 - 7.  Only version
8 crashes.

It works for me although it shows the message that the rights are no longer 
working, as expected.

Is it possible to remove that feature from the original PDF?  Is it
possible to remove that feature from all the PDFs that have been
generated, so they may be opened in Acrobat 8?

In the /ViewerPreferences in /Catalog remove the key /Rights.

Paulo

Thanks for your help.
