Hey folks, I just noticed an odd behavior when printing to a pdf file:
If I use Print... and then Save to PDF... and save the resulting file, then the read/write permissions are as they ought to to be: 644 (-rw-r--r--), BUT if I change the page layout to, say, 2 pages per sheet, then the resulting file has different permissions, namely 600 (-rw------). I also get permissions of 600 when I use Automator to combine PDFs together. These different behaviors happen even when I put things in the same directory, so it's not a sticky bit problem. Is there any way to change this rather quirky behavior to ensure that I can have 644 permissions, no matter what I do? Do others have this same problem? I use the pdfs to share with classes I teach, and just realized that many of the files have been inaccessible to the students. (Of course, this also tells me how many students have tried to get to the files: 0.) Thanks for any tips, Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
