Commenting permission in exported PDF files

[ThomasE]

Hello.

I have a question concerning the PDF export parameters.

There are plenty check boxes that allow to set prmissions for printing, editing and copying, which is quite useful.

Unfortunately there is no way to set the right to comment the document (what would enable an extra toolbar in Acrobat Reader). The default setting in documents generated by StimulReports does not allow commenting.

Is there any chance to get this feature enabled programmatically, or would it be possible to implement this in an upcomming version?

Thanks for your help.

At this moment you can set this option, but only from code. Please see in StiPdfExportSettings property UserAccessPrivileges, value - AddOrModifyTextAnnotations. For also we have added Gui for this property. Gui will be available in build from 23 May.

Thank you.

Nice to hear that this feature is supported! The GUI Integration will be usefull, I think.

Thanks for your reply and your effort.
