Hi, Andrei, Andrei Popov wrote:
I'd say you try encrypting the output pdf with the appropriate option (can't check right now), instead of setting the user/master password, and then list ALL permissions that pdftrans can handle after --permissions. The permissions can be interdependent, so just try enabling all of them.
Tried that, no joy.
I think Adobe Reader seems to be the culprit here. Can you try a previous version of Acrobat and see if it helps?
Alas, I'm pretty sure that the ability to insert comments began with Acrobat Reader 7 (the current version). Stephen Harris kindly sent me a couple of PDFs in which he had enabled annotation (using Acrobat Pro 7), and my copy of Reader allowed me to add comments to them, so at least I know that Reader works. Copious use of Google turned up some threads on other news groups suggesting that, at least for the moment, Acrobat Pro may be the only way to turn on commenting so that Reader will allow it. :-(
Unfortunately, my target audience is students equipped with Acrobat Reader and no desire to try other programs, so my options are narrow.
Thanks for the help. Paul
