Preprocessor Definitions

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermOpen`

  The user can open and decrypt the document.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermSecure`

  The user can change the document’s security settings.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermPrint`

  The user can print the document.

  Page Setup access is unaffected by this permission, since that affects Acrobat’s preferences - not the document’s. In the Document Security dialog, this corresponds to the Printing entry.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermEdit`

  The user can edit the document more than adding or modifying text notes (see also kA3DPDFDocumentPermEditNotes).

  In the Document Security dialog, this corresponds to the Changing the Document entry.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermCopy`

  The user can copy information from the document to the clipboard.

  In the document restrictions, this corresponds to the Content Copying or Extraction entry.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermEditNotes`

  The user can add, modify, and delete text notes (see also kA3DPDFDocumentPermEdit).

  In the document restrictions, this corresponds to the Authoring Comments and Form Fields entry.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermSaveAs`

  The user can perform a Save As….

  If both kA3DPDFDocumentPermEdit and kA3DPDFDocumentPermEditNotes are disallowed, Save will be disabled but Save As… will be enabled. The Save As… menu item is not necessarily disabled even if the user is not permitted to perform a Save As…

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermFillandSign`

  Overrides other kA3DPDFDocumentPerm bits.

  It allows the user to fill in or sign existing form or signature fields.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermAccessible`

  Overrides kA3DPDFDocumentPermCopy to enable the Accessibility API.

  If a document is saved in Rev2 format (Acrobat 4.0 compatible), only the kA3DPDFDocumentPermCopy bit is checked to determine the Accessibility API state.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermDocAssembly`

  Overrides various kA3DPDFDocumentPermEdit bits and allows the following operations: page insert/delete/rotate and create bookmark and thumbnail.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermHighPrint`

  This bit is a supplement to kA3DPDFDocumentPermPrint.

  If it is clear (disabled) only low quality printing (Print As Image) is allowed. On UNIX platforms where Print As Image doesn’t exist, printing is disabled.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermOwner`

  The user is permitted to perform all operations, regardless of the permissions specified by the document.

  Unless this permission is set, the document’s permissions will be reset to those in the document after a full save.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermFormSubmit`

  This should be set if the user can submit forms outside of the browser.

  This bit is a supplement to kA3DPDFDocumentPermFillandSign.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermFormSpawnTempl`

  This should be set if the user can spawn template pages.

  This bit will allow page template spawning even if kA3DPDFDocumentPermEdit and kA3DPDFDocumentPermEditNotes are clear.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermAll`

  All permissions.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermSettable`

  The OR of all operations that can be set by the user in the security restrictions (kA3DPDFDocumentPermPrint + kA3DPDFDocumentPermEdit + kA3DPDFDocumentPermCopy + kA3DPDFDocumentPermEditNotes).

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermUser`

  All permissions.

  These values are to have all items unallowed, at least all items visible in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader dialog boxes.

`kA3DPDFDocumentPermNone`

  All visible permissions unallowed.
