Hello everybody

I have some problem working with pdf\_output plugin.  
When I execute the code “plugins.pdf\_output.convertPDFFormToPDFDocument(pdf\_form, field\_values)” it is throwing exception with the line that “PdfReader not opened with owner password”.

I don’t think if we have used any password for these pdf’s. The same works for older version of Servoy but throws exception in latest Servoy version.  
Is any one faced this problem. How to overcome to this situation ?

Thanks

Check in the program you created the pdf form if it is password protected. Maybe it used to work with older versions of iText library, but if is really protected, password should be provided.
