Hi,
Recently, someone asked how to fill a PDF form and then print it using PDF reDirect. For example, the US passport renewal form (which can be downloaded from http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/79960.pdf - http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/79960.pdf ). The problem is that the user was getting the Error Code 100, and the PDF was not created.
Well, The PDF he is trying to print is encrypted. The permissions allow to
print, but, the folks at Adobe are so smart that they recognize that the user is
trying to print a filled form through a convertor. For example, if I change the
conversion engine from the default GNU Ghostscript to use Adobe's Distiller, the
conversion fails as well, except that I get the following error
log:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
This
PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling
encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to
end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file
produced. ] %%
However, there is a solution. You can use the highly rated PDF Reader developed by FoxIt Software. With that
software, you will be able to fill the form and to print it to PDF reDirect without any problems. This Reader is freeware and you can get a copy at http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ - www.foxitsoftware.com .
I hope that helps others in the same situation.
