Thanks Andreas.
Yes - I am opening these in Acrobat Reader 7.0.
I know previous versions of Reader didn't allow adding comments. but I know version 7.0 allows adding comments.
I had imagined this could be controlled by normal PDF encryption / permissions
but maybe you need Adobe LiveCycle to enable that feature - or some other tool.
I wondered about encryption in the binary FOP distribution because the DOcs say:
The build process automatically detects JCE presence and installs PDF encryption support if possible, otherwise a stub is compiled in.
and I don't get the error message:
"Cannot find any provider supporting RC4"
So - I'm wondering - should I build FOP - rather than using a binary distribution?
And - do I need RC4 or RC5 provider?
The main reason I'm asking - rather than just trying it - is that I am using FOP in other areas
and want to avoid the possible hassle of breaking it / changing the documents it provides
or producing many new messages complaining about RC4 providers.
Any further guidance would be welcome.

Hi,
Does the binary version have PDF encryption enabled?
Or - do I have to build FOP from source to activate encryption options?
I think it should work out of the box, if you have JCE --which you have-- and a provider that offers RC5 encryption --which the default JCE doesn't.
According to the documentation the value of allowEditAnnotations is TRUE. and to suppress this you would need the comandline option
-noannotations pdf file will be encrypted without edit annotation permission
However - any PDFs I produce do not have Commenting enabled - and I wish
to enable it.
Different story... I have checked two PDFs produced by FOP 0.20.5 without encryption. Commenting was obviously not allowed when I opened these in Adobe READER, but it worked fine when I opened them in the full Acrobat.
Could that be your problem?
Greetz,
Andreas
