I'm modifying an existing PDF, setting the encryption, and adding fields. After spending over an hour debugging why when I set the encryption the fields would disappear, I realized it's because the permissions I'm setting on the PDF doesn't allow the modification of annotations. What I don't understand is how setting the encryption level would effect it since it's in the same PdfStamper "instance". First of all, I'm setting the encryption right before adding the fields so PdfStamper should know I have have permissions to add it, even though the encryption says otherwise.
Is there a way for me to add fields AND set the encryption where other users cannot modify the annotations AFTER I've saved the PDF without the owner password? It looks like I'm going to have to save the PDF without encryption, then initialize a new PdfReader and PdfStamper just to set the encryption afterwards. Is there a reason for this?
