Cannot make Privileges to Allowed

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

The code below doesnt make me able to add Comments or Annotations with Adobe Soft to the generated document “DocumentAnnotable1.pdf” :

Aspose.Pdf.Kit.License l = new Aspose.Pdf.Kit.License();
l.SetLicense(@“D:\Aspose\Aspose.Pdf.Kit.lic”);

//Creating string variables storing the paths of input and output PDF files
string inFile = @“D:\Aspose\Document.pdf”;
string outFile = @“D:\Aspose\DocumentAnnotable1.pdf”;

//Instantiating PdfFileSecurity object
Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfFileSecurity fileSecurity = new Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfFileSecurity(inFile, outFile);
//Call SetPrivilege method
fileSecurity.SetPrivilege(Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfPrivilege.AllowAll);

Hi Aniss,

Are you trying to add the comments/annotations using Adobe Acrobat? We have noticed that with Adobe Acrobat the privileges are shown as Allowed in the original PDF file as well and the comments/annotations can be added and saved using Adobe Acrobat, without setting the privileges as allowed.

Can you please elaborate the problem a little bit? Which version of Adobe Acrobat are you using?

We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation.
Regards,

Hi Shahzad,

Thank you for your response.

The PDF files I joined to my first request are both generated with Aspose.

Document.pdf is a conversion of a Word file made with Aspose.Words (SaveAsPdf). To this document, I need to add comments/annotation which I can’t do because Comments are not allowed (see in Document.pdf : Document/Protection/Display …/Protection : Restrictions). I’m using french version of Adobe Reader 9.3.1

DocumentAnnotable1.pdf is the version of Document.pdf generated with Aspose.Kit.Pdf to change the restrictions as to be able to add comments/annotation. You can notice in Document/Protection/Display …/Protection that there is more Restrictions than in Document.pdf and the document is marked as “Protected”.

I hope that can help to help me.

By the way, I also need to enable the Revision Mode on my pdf files, can you please show me how I can do.

Thank you in advance,
Aniss
