request: default setannotflags={print} #43

Open j-hap opened 1 year ago

j-hap commented 1 year ago

I just finished a form with l3pdffield-testphase. If one wants to protect further editing, one can either protect the editing functions with a password (which the FF pdfviewer gladly ignores (see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/14356)) or print the form to a new PDF file. Unfortunately the pdffields created by l3pdffield-testphase are set to be visible, but unprintable by default.

When one creates a form in Adobe Acrobat, the form elements are visible and printable by default. IMHO l3pdffields should do the same and add print as a default annotation flag.

the Print flag is not set by default. You can set it for a field or for a type of fields e.g. with \pdffield_setup:n{preset-textfield={setF=Print}}. If you use a A-standard, e.g. with pdfstandard=a-2b in \DocumentMetadata the print flag will be forced too.

That's what I did of course. This issue was only ment as a feedback. The \ChoiceMenu from hyperref has the print flag set by default, Acrobat sets it be default when creating a form so I just think l3pdffields should set it as well.
