Hey guys,
first of all, thanks for the great plugin. I was able to create and implement four templates in no-time.

I just have one minor question: I'm using pdf forms I have created in LibreOffice. I chose flatten "yes", but if I close the (correctly) flattened document, Acrobat Reader still asks me whether I want to save the changes as if it was still a form.

Any idea how I can get around that message and make it a full read-only document?

Cheers
Henry

Hi,

Do you face issue with "Original" created PDF or only after filled with E2Pdf? If possible, can you please attach PDF to next message so we can check it on our side as we could not replicate issue on our side.

After checking some information it looks like can be due several reasons:

- Adobe trying to fix some errors on PDF automatically
- Issue can appear if "Need Appearance" set to true, however we could not replicate issue and this option preferred to remain set to true.

We remain at your service.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi,

thanks for your quick reply. I just managed to work around the topic. I flattened the pdf locally on my computer and uploaded it into the template through the "Replace PDF" function. Now everything ist working smoothly. Thanks
