However, that seems to be just a way to prevent the PDF file from having stuff that you don't want to appear in it. It does not address security in the resulting PDF document.
Security is being added, will be available in OOo 2.0.4. See issue 12626.
However, evidently it can be done. It's just a matter of figuring out if OO.o already has the functionality and I haven't found the button for it yet, or if this is something to add to the wish list for future versions.
The possibilitiy to save a filled PDF form with the free Acrobat Reader is not related to the security permission. So it won't be in the security permission functionality I talked about above. This is something obtained enabling reader hidden functionality through something called by Adobe "Reader Extensions". They are not part of the PDF specification. This "activation" is a service provided by an Adobe server product used to munipulate PDF documents for big organizations. The IRS f1040.pdf form pointed to in a former message wasalmost surely generated in this way. In any case, even if OOo is added this possibility, there is a clause in the Acrobat Reader EULA that forbids to use Acrobat Reader to save PDF with this functionality enabled by other _non_ Adobe application. This latter is a lawyer part, it should be analyzed by someone whith a better law knowlegde than me. Reference is the EULA: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrreula.html And the paragraph to examine is the 2.5. Anyway this can surely be added to the wish list.
