Hello Actually, it seems to be possible... Not for comment with Adobe Reader but for Foxit.
Here's what i did, following the answers to my questions. I used Pdf Reader reader = new PdfReader("file_with_restritions.pdf"); PdfEncryptor.encrypt ( reader, new FileOutputStream("file_without_restritions.pdf"), null, null, PdfWriter.ALLOW_ASSEMBLY | (....other permissions.....), false ); That document, before i did this, had some restritions, including "comment not allowed". With Adobe Reader i still couldn't add any comments, although it said that it was "allowed"(under the document security properties, not under adobe document properties). But i tried the Foxit reader and VOILÁ! It seems that Adobe Reader "ignores" all the "allowed" document permissions if those permissions weren't set by adobe software like Adobe Acrobat. Foxit only "reades" the document permissions so it is possible to comment using this tool. Hope this helps, Diana Benjamin Rein escreveu: > > Hi Matthias, > > the short answer is no.
