Yogingineer Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Message says 'Cannot Export. This document does not allow exporting.', I don't seem to have the option to save either. This was a 3 page layered doc that I opened from PDF. I removed some layers and moved all of of the pieces from the three separate pages to a single artboard that I added. Now I need it back in PDF format, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated! TIA Quote
Ron P. Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Welcome to the forums @Yogingineer, Those warnings generally are due to the document being locked. The author does not want anyone copying, altering their work. You would need to contact the author of the PDF document to get a copy of an unlocked file.

Staff EmT Posted May 23, 2022 Staff Posted May 23, 2022 Hi @Yogingineer Welcome to the forum. As well as ensuring the document is not set to Read-Only or locked, can you check you are not opening it from a compressed folder.

Yogingineer Posted May 23, 2022 Author Posted May 23, 2022 Thank you! It's not from a compressed folder, nor is it Read-Only. I did notice that when I open it, it says 'locked', but It's interesting as I can edit the file in GiMP. If it says 'locked' is there no way to unlock it? Quote

As per @Ron P., if you are not the original creator of the PDF then it would be best to contact the author, as it may be locked for copyright reasons.

Yogingineer Posted May 23, 2022 Author Posted May 23, 2022 Thank you @EmT and @Ron P. - it's a pdf pattern file that I have purchased from a designer, so I'll contact them. EmT and Ron P. 2 Quote
