The release of PowerPro 2024 brought in the feature of password protection on PDF documents generated by PowerPro
This measure has been implemented as a step towards protecting the AQF documents from fraud
Password protection applies only when editing the PDF document using a PDF editor
Password protected PDF documents can still be printed as any other PDF document
The password is unknown, as the intent is to make these documents "final" and unable to be altered
This feature affects both AQF and Mail Merge Documents
Should you like to disable this option, you can do so by unchecking the following in 'Configuration' > 'Application Options' > 'AQF'
Please note PowerPro may require restarting for changes to take effect.
