Description pingo 2023-03-22 15:30:18 UTC
Description:
After doing "Export As/ Export as PDF / Security / Set Passwords / [uncheck Enable Copying] / Set Permission Password / Confirm / OK / Export / Save", then opening the resulting pdf with Sumatra, I can select and copy at will.
This is particularly important with official signed documents, because my signature can then be freely copied and pasted.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Export As/ Export as PDF / Security / Set Passwords / [uncheck Enable Copying] / Set Permission Password / Confirm / OK / Export / Save
2.Open with Sumatra
3.

Actual Results:
Content can be freely copied.

Expected Results:
Copying denied.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
When I restarted in safe mode and repeated the operation, I did notice that Enable copying was endabled by default. However, unchecking it made no difference to the final result: I could still copy freely in Sumatra.
