When I only establish the options in the Security Tab there is no problem creating de pdf file or when I only establish the options in the Signing Tab it works fine but when I combine the 2 options it causes an error.

It causes an error even setting the PDFOwnerPasswordString value equals to the PDFSigningPFXFilePassword in the Registry.

Is there no possibility of signing and protect a document?

Thanks in advance

I have similar behavior ... for PDF file formats I can either enable the "Use Security", or I can enable Signing, but I cannot have both options selected. I get a different error, however:

Error-Nr: -2146232800 (PdfReader not opened with owner password)

Modul: modGhostscript

Procedure: SignPDF

Line: 50310

I get this error immediately after typing in my certificate password. A couple of other notes: I generated my certificate using Acrobat Reader 9 Tools --> Security Settings ... -> Digital IDs --> New ...

Also, this is using PDFCreator 0.9.9, using Ghostscript 8.14 Encryptor or pdfenc (same error for both engines), High Encryption Level (128-bit).

Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

Getting the same error here although it still gives an error when only the signing tab is enabled. Again, I believe the cert was generated by Adobe.

TIA.

Edit:

I created an openSSL CA to create test certificates and it still fails. Error message below:

Error-Nr: -2146232800(PdfReader not opened with owner password)

same problem

if I use only "security" option (without signing) everything is ok
=> document is password protected/encrypted

If I use only "signing" option (without security/encryption) everything is ok
=> document is digitally signed

If I use both options "security" and "signing" together:
=> error raised
ERROR DESCRIPTION:

Any ideas?
