First of all. great project. using sense 2years. I have one pdf which is password protected and i am able to open it without password but its not working with pdfscribe. and that pdf if allowed to Print but its not working. Please help

this issue occures only in ADOBE READER. please help
%%[ ProductName: GPL Ghostscript ]%%
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: eexec ]%%
GPL Ghostscript 9.27: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

This is same as issue #25 - like I mentioned earlier, it's no surprise that an Adobe product would refuse to help defeat encryption, and a third party reader would. I'd look into the stackoverflow link posted in #25 if you're interested in researching a solution for your own code.

I'm extremely busy right now and haven't done anything with PdfScribe in a while - however, the first priority when I do come back around is to integrate a new port monitor (issue #17). While I will leave this open, it's highly unlikely I'll address this any time soon.

Pre-release v1.2.1 has a fix for this you can try. Set "StripNoRedistill" to "True" in the config file to activate it.

fixed in v1.3.0
