And indeed, this worked. The code looks like this now:
public static void SimpleTest() throws IOException {
srcDoc = PDDocument.load(new File(srcDocName), "");
tplDoc = PDDocument.load(new File(tplDocName), "");
tplDoc.setAllSecurityToBeRemoved(true);
applyDocPermissions(ownerPassword, "");
srcDoc.close();
tplDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().setNeedAppearances(true);
tplDoc.save(outDocName);
tplDoc.close();
}
Thanks. I will now have a look at Maruan's proposal on top of this.
Cheers
Roberto
