Hi Leonard,
Thanks for your reply. Is there any other way to save the document so the
settings are not lost - a possible hack or via XFA? Here's the scenario.
We have a software system that has multiple pdf templates that users can
select to merge with their data. They do a merge and then download the
merged document to enter additional data on their side. Once they are done,
they mail the pdf document back to the server, and the server imports the
data they changed back into the database.
I was able to narrow it down to the following, which causes the same
problem.
string sourcefilename = @"c:\temp\saveenabled.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(sourcefilename);
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, File.Create(
@"c:\temp\saveenabled1.pdf"));
stamp.Close();
When you open the document it says: This document contained certain rights
to enable special features in adobe reader. this document has been changed
since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. please contact
the author for the original version of this document.
