I have an application form which clients will complete and we will attached a pdf version of the form to the notification email. How do I remove the password protection when the user opens the pdf?

Thanks

Hi,

If you set the password inside E2Pdf Template, you can still export PDF from backend "E2Pdf" -> "Export" without password by "removing" it from password field (Screenshot attached).

You can also generate download links or attachments without password by adding "password" attribute:
[e2pdf-download id="1" password=""] or [e2pdf-attachment id="1" password=""], where 1 is the ID of your E2Pdf Template

We remain at your service.
We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi, This is not working for me, My shortcode is as follows, but the PDF still is asking for a password when trying to open:

<td>[e2pdf-download id="2" dataset=[id] flatten="1" name="[6513] - [6531] - [7590]" password="" button-title="Download" inline="true"]</td>

Hi,

We could replicate issue and now working on fix. It looks like the problem that empty password value is in the middle of shortcode. Can you try please to modify shortcode to value below, until we release a fix:

<td>[e2pdf-download id="2" dataset=[id] flatten="1" name="[6513] - [6531] - [7590]" button-title="Download" inline="true" password=""]</td>

Sorry for inconvenice.
