D1 PDF Security

[Vivriel]

I just purchased D1 in PDF format, and found that it's secured such that I can't even mark in the discovered errata.

Is there any reason why you don't allow commenting in the document?

There're ways around it if I really want to do it, of course, but I don't see why I have to. I run all my games online, so I use the actual PDF during play, not a printed copy of it. I _need_ to be able to mark errata and my own notes in the PDF itself.

So will the powers at Paizo relax the PDF security, or even remove it altogether? I really don't understand the need to secure such documents.

I'd like this as well. Being able to add comments and notes in the PDF makes it a lot more useful :)

You're right, we should add "AllowModifyAnnotations" to the permissions on watermarked PDFs.

So I will do that. And post here when the watermarker has been updated.

The watermarker has been updated. If you have downloads that you want to be able to annotate, just re-personalize them.

Thank you! That was fast!

I presume the same permission will be set for future modules and Pathfinder PDF's?

Thanks! It's definitely helpful having comments available :)

Any chance this change can be applied to D0 as well?

ohhh, right.Forgot about that one. It doesn't go through the watermarker. I'll fix it when I get back into the office Tuesday.

The copy of D0 that I downloaded is not secured at all. You should be able to do anything you want with it, but not with Acrobat Reader. Try a PDF writer.
