Created attachment 120083 [details] test file Hello, I'd like to export an .odp file to PDF and protect the latter not only with an open password but also with a permission password, so as to avoid copying the content of the PDF. The process I followed is the following (in order to reproduce it): File->Export as PDF->Security->Set Passwords->(setting passwords for both open and permission) open password: 1234 permission password: 12345 In the content section, I had the following options: Printing: not permitted Changes: not permitted Content: both check boxes unchecked Click on "Export" and "Save" respectively. When I was trying to open the PDF, it requests the open password, so far so good! The problem is that when I tried to copy the text and paste it in a text editor, I successfully did it.. Unless there is an error in the process I followed, can you please let me know why this happened? The options under "Content" clearly stated if we would like to enable copying of content, so if we uncheck this, it should have restrict me from copying the content.. Thanks in advance for looking into this! Regards, Pavlos

For me not reproducible with LO 5.0.3.2, Win 8.1. If I uncheck the two buttons in the section CONTENT of the tab SECURITY, then I can not copy the text from the PDF. Do you also have the opportunity to test it with a more recent version of LO?
Hello and thanks for the feedback! The problem is not with the LO version, but with the OS. Let me explain: I tried to do the same in an Windows 7 machine and it perfectly works, I couldn't be able to copy the text, LO version was 4 something, not 5. I tried the same with success in a virtual machine install in my PC, guest OS is a Windows XP and LO version 4 something again. So for me it's quite clear that the problem is in the OS + the LO (not the version itself). Does anyone else try this in a Linux OS? Thanks! Pavlos
Reproduced. Was able to copy. PDF viewer used: Document viewer of Ubuntu (Evince, I guess). Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit Version: 5.0.2.2 Build ID: 00m0(Build:2) Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8)
the probloem its not the OS its on the code, this problem was since ooo up to 3 series, and then its not solved this its a long date bug, since ooo 3 brand pdf writing with protection was broken in linux, only work in stupid guindows.. the problem its only in Linux or unix related (debian, bsd, mac), this problem are available wince the new ooo3 brand was started if u try to set passwod in a linux with ooo 2.X will work! if used ooo 2.4 and works with debian lenny, but in debian squeeze and wheeze does not work due uses openoffice or libreoffice 3.X so in linux works with openoffice 2.X does not work with openoffcie or libreoffice 3.X, 4.X or mayor

Hello, reproduced once more in following version: Version: 5.2.7.2 Build ID: 1:5.2.7-1 CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 4.9; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group I'm running Debian Stretch.
Isn't this 'protecting' depending on capabilities of the PDF reader software?
nop! theprotection are appart, if the software has no capabilities cant read the contents.. and in any case, let's suppost the some software not have it!, well my produced document pdf must be protected in those that support protection and its not happened!

Months have passed, this has been going on for several years and finally we have a marginal note, it is a "duplicate" problem, we are going so well that in a few years we will have a 0.01% advance in this bug! ah! in "Guindows!" It works, that explains my sarcasm in the comment ..
I have the same problem at Mac OS X 10.10.5 and LO 6.0.2.1. If I export an ODT file as PDF with setting a permission password, I am still able to copy texts and images from the PDF.
many PDF readers do not implement copy permission because it's a silly feature to begin with - you can just use a PDF reader that doesn't implement copy permissions to work around the copy permissions... AFAIK no open source PDF reader - Evince, Okular etc. implements this feature. if it works with Adobe Acrobat, then we can assume that the passwords were written correctly into the PDF file by LibreOffice, and there is no bug. setting to NEEDINFO; please set this bug to NEW if you can reproduce this problem with Adobe Acrobat, or resolve it as NOTOURBUG if nobody can do that.
You are right. Acrobat Reader disallows the copying.
thanks; if anybody wants this to work in Evince, Okular etc. please file bugs against those applications.
oops, didn't want to set the resolution to that...
Hey, that's a lie! i property set the PDF permission using OpenOffice 2.X and okular detect those permissions! but using Libreoffice does not work! in fact only bug happenend if we used all the libreoffice 3+ releases, with 2.X releases work perfectly!

Please attach a PDF you exported from OpenOffice 2.x so we can see it working with Okular with our own eyes.

Hello everybody, 3 years and still there is no solution on that??
@Pavlos K. Ponos, please update the file as requested in comment 19

if you cannot decript this bug it's confirmed! that's all i said! so then fourth yeas to confirm a very well knowed bug! pufff

Comment on attachment 147308 [details] pdf file with a password evidently there is a regular password on the file and it is encrypted, not *only* a password-to-copy. thus this is off-topic for this bug.
The original attachment 120083 [details] does NOT allow copying in Okular. Michael explained the situation in comment 14. I was wrong to confirm this in 2015 and now I will close it and that is the end of the discussion.
