"typewriter" feature inactive--grayed out...

Post by DeanTaylor »

Hello

I have a PDF xchange viewer with a document loaded from a URL. It reads "secured", therefore I am currently unable to utilize the typewriter feature. Is there any way to (for lack of a better term) modify the document in order to type on the form fields?

Thank you

Hi DeanTaylor,

PDF-XChange does by choice honour the security restrictions put in place by the author. If we did not our Viewer could not claim to be fully compliant with the ISO managed PDF specifications. I'm sure you can appreciate that this is an important thing for us to maintain.

As such we do not have a way for you to modify or bypass that security. You will need to obtain the password from that document author if the form is to be filled out.
