Encrypt PDF document using Aspose.PDF for .NET - Encrypting Fillable form makes it read only

Aspose.PDF Product Family

I have a PDF which is a fillable form. When I add encryption the file the fields become read only. Can you please advise how the file can be encrypted while retaining the fields? The code I am using is as follows:

        DocumentPrivilege dp = DocumentPrivilege.AllowAll;
        dp.AllowModifyContents = false;

        using (var stream = new FileStream(fullFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
        {
            Document doc = new Document(stream);

            using (PdfFileSecurity fs = new PdfFileSecurity(doc))
            {
                fs.EncryptFile(userPassword, ownerPassword, dp, KeySize.x256);
                doc.Save();
            }
        }
