Re: Preview and Save as PDF suddenly disabled in print dialog



Maybe...I found an another bug in this function.

I made a PDF which is encrypted by "pdftk" with allowing brosing and
printing. My OS is Mac OS X 10.3.7.

http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/

Preview.app can open it with password.

When I use print command from menu bar, print dialog appears with preview
and save as PDF buttons are gray out. Good! This is the action we expected.

But I select Output Option popup on print dialog and check the check-box
"save as file", we will find a gray-outed "PDF" menu and NOT-gray-outed
"PostScript" menu.

We can save encrypted PDF as a PostScript.

The PostScript file could be browsed by MacGhostScript application with any
password.

I think it is awful situation.
