From: David Griffith on 18 Mar 2010 16:13 I'm trying to come up with a way to alter the security settings on PDF files. For example: I frequently rebuild PDF forms. Manually running these through Adobe Acrobat Pro is extremely tedious. If I can come up with a Perl script to strip the security settings, that would speed things up a great deal. So... How can I, with Perl, alter these security settings? -- David Griffith davidmylastname(a)acm.org <--- Put my last name where it belongs

Different combinations of permissions didn't seem to help. rewritepdf.pl -P 0 0 0 0 foo.pdf bar.pdf -- David Griffith davidmylastname(a)acm.org <--- Put my last name where it belongs |
