    Hi there,

    first of all, thanks for the great plugin.
    Can you tell me, if it′s possible to protect the PDF for later editing?

    Cheers

    Hi. I am not sure what you mean exactly. Can you elaborate? Do you mean password protect? Maybe disable editing of the form? Let me know.

    Thanks for the very fast answer! Yes, I like to disable editing of the form, because i want to fill out a voucher with CF7 and PDF Forms Filler and the receiver of the mail should not be able to edit the pdf.

    I’m currently half way through implementing this feature. Can you give me a week or so?

    Actually, I was able to finish it rather quickly. I’ve deployed the new version of the plugin just now. Check it out and let me know if you are able to use it.

    There is one problem with it, however. I’m currently using PDFtk. It has a bug with flattening of non-latin UTF-8 characters. The filled text is invisible after the flattening of the PDF. Unfortunately, I cannot do much about this problem. I am planning to switch to another PDF tool, however, it will be costly and it will take a while to do this.

    Great job! It works fine! I just updated the plugin an tested it.
    I will do another test tomorrow and give feedback!
