security settings not working

Post by edvschu »

Hello,

load a PDF/A the editor shows a purple banner with button 'Enable Editing'. Press that button the editor remove PDF/A compliance.
Change can be saved, although changing the document is not allowed. Why are the document security settings not working here?

Hiding the banner is not an option here. The PDF must be protected against change.

Best Regards,

Hello edvschu,

The PDFA is not a security options but a flag in the document that that document is archived - other applications also allow editing it with similar warnings.

Cheers,
Alex
