this issue occures only in ADOBE READER. please help %%[ ProductName: GPL Ghostscript ]%% This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file. Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted. %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: eexec ]%% GPL Ghostscript 9.27: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

This is same as issue #25 - like I mentioned earlier, it's no surprise that an Adobe product would refuse to help defeat encryption, and a third party reader would. I'd look into the stackoverflow link posted in #25 if you're interested in researching a solution for your own code.

I'm extremely busy right now and haven't done anything with PdfScribe in a while - however, the first priority when I do come back around is to integrate a new port monitor (issue #17). While I will leave this open, it's highly unlikely I'll address this any time soon.

Pre-release v1.2.1 has a fix for this you can try. Set "StripNoRedistill" to "True" in the config file to activate it.
