ASPOSE.Pdf.Kit adds Security to a PDF Form

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I got a PDF form file from our user. The Security Method was set to "No Security". I can

- fill in the fields in the form manually

- save the changes back to the file.

However, if I used API to do the update, see below

FileStream inStream = new FileStream(@"filein.pdf", FileMode.Open);

FileStream outStream = new FileStream(@"fileout.pdf", FileMode.Create);

Form f = new Form(inStream, outStream );

f.FillField("ABN", "12345");

f.Save();

Problem 1:

When I opened the output file - fileout.pdf in PDF Reader 7.0, I couldn't update the form fields anymore . some finding...

filein.pdf - Security Setting = No security

fileout.pdf - Security Setting = "Password Security" (looks like ASPOSE changed it).

Problem 2:

Although I can use the SetPrivilege(DocumentPrivilegeAllowAll) to enble the "filling of the form field", but I can't save the form with data back into the file by using Adobe Reader 7.0.

Could anybody give me some ideas of how to do that?

I just tested the mentioned functions with latest version 2.3.1.0 and got a correct output file as expected. Could you please try to run test with that version?

If the problem still occurs, please send me your testing file.

Thanks for providing all these resources.

I have reproduced this strange error on testbed and it seems to come from your special form document. Our developers will step further to find out reasons and give a reply soon.

Could you please to tell us what form designer tool did you use to create this form?

Adobe InDesign CS2 (4.0.3). Thanks.
