Hi,

just tried Annotation.GetEditTextFormat(), seems to do the trick :-)

What about the invisible text in the PDF document I shared with you?
Here, I have no clues, so I can only ask to you.

What about saving the document as a non-editable PDF?
This is what I could determine so far.

about non-editable form:
you can invoke Document.GetPerm() to check editable, this method used for signatured document.
you can invoke Document.GetPermission to check editable for those encrypted PDF.

Actually, I don't need to check whether the document is editable or not. What I need to do, after editing the document, is to save it in a form that is no longer editable by either your library or other applications. Any suggestions? I have a couple of ideas, such as setting a password for editing the document, or creating a copy of the PDF containing rasterized images. Can either option be performed with your library? I would rather set a password if possible. Otherwise, I believe Page.RenderToBmp() should do the trick. Correct?

Regards,
Michele

Hi,

Password protection
thanks for letting me know that password protecting documents is not supported.

Invisible text
About the invisible text, if you download this PDF form:
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7172743/TEST.pdf
and feed it to your library, you will discover that, after inputing data into text fields, as soon as the text field loses focus the text becomes invisible. It is still there (it appears if you re-edit the field, or if you export the form data) but you cannot see it. As I wrote, this happens to me only with this particular document (which unfortunately is the very document my customer asked me to use as a base to determine whether I can work with your library).

Regards,
Michele
