Just a quick note – while looking around the TCPDF documentation I did find reference to the SetProtection method which seems to do exactly this and wonder if its something I could call from outside of the plugin if the option is not available within the plugin.
🙂
Look for these options in an upcoming trunk release, as these are on my near-term roadmap.
Currently, you need to hack wp-post-to-pdf-enhanced.php manually to add something like:
$permissions = array('print', 'modify', 'copy', 'annot-forms', 'fill-forms', 'extract', 'assemble', 'print-high');
$user_pass = '';
$owner_pass = null;
$mode = 0;
$pubkeys = null;
$pdf->SetProtection( $permissions, $user_pass, $owner_pass, $mode, $pubkeys );
somewhere near the upper part of the document (look for references to “creator” – just a WAG, as the code is not handy). Obviously, replace the references to the blank password(s) with your desired settings, and lock down the permissions as you see fit.
As I say, this is on the near-term list, as I’ve had someone else request it. These settings can obviously be added to the admin UI, but it’s kind of silly to set a single password for every PDF, so shortcodes make more sense. I have a long – and growing longer – list of shortcodes (a paraprosedokian, if ever there was), so expect the global settings well before the customizable ones. 😉

PS – Thanks for your kind words. Glad it’s working for you!
Thanks Lewis for the advice and quick response… and for teaching me the word “paraprosedokian” 😉
