gmm18 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have found a work-around when the Usage Rights are Disabled when you are using the Export-PDF Batch command. (Yes, if you just use Print, then save as PDF using the OSX features you don't have to deal with this, as Maartin mentioned). Anyway, the work-around: Open the Exported PDF in Preview. Add a small annotation, such as an oval. Then, without saving, Close the Document It will immediately ask you if you want to save it...select YES. This will RESTORE all of the User Rights to be able to do whatever you want. Quote Link to comment

mark@custom Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Re: CutePDF - I have the CutePDF Pro pdf writer & editor. While it doesn't recognize a 'secured' pdf file as being 'secured', [one can edit and add pages, etc, even if acrobat says it is secured] if the file you open is 'secured', it'll save out as 'secured'. The 'Pro' version is $ 50.00 and well worth it. This last week, when I output a set of 8 pdf documents from VW, 2 read as 'secured' when opened in Acrobat. I have no idea what would cause some to secure and others not. Quote Link to comment

dovermyer Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Mark: If you create the PDFs with CutePDF Writer, then there shouldn't be any issues. Just completely bypass the internal VW options & print to CutePDF as if it were a printer. But, again, this doesn't appear to help the white toasters. Quote Link to comment
