Fatal error: Uncaught exception

    I installed your free plugin to check it out before purchasing the Pro and I didn’t get very far. I have hundreds of .pdf files that are ‘secure’ which limits customer to printing the document only. I want the additional watermark across the edge as an additional deterrent. On my first try with a test download I received the following message; actually 6 long lines of error info.

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘File is encrypted!

    It’s probably safe to assume that your free plugin won’t work for me. Will you Pro program bypass this? Thanks for your help.

    Hi @spencerparrow17,

    WaterWoo parses PDFs and applies “watermarks” (additional content) to them. If it cannot open and edit a file, meaning your file already has encryption, how can it do its work?

    Short answer, no it will not work for your files as they are. They must be “naked,” vulnerable, or whatnot, and you can apply your encryption with WaterWoo.

    Cheers!

    Hi there. . .
    Thank you so much for the speedy reply. I’ve worked with a couple ‘naked’ .pdf’s and the plugin works great. Butfor each watermarked.pdf a 38 digit alpha/numeric file name was generated, and that’s in addition to the file name itself. That is a long file name. What is the purpose for that, and with the Pro will I have any control over it?

    Also in reading through your Pro features I didn’t see anything about being able to set the number of downloads or set to unlimited, as well as setting the zoom level. My pdf’s should be no more than 125%. The default appears to be set at 164%.

    Your thoughts, please. Thanks.

    Hello again,

    Yes, you will have control over the file name using custom hooks using the Premium version. Most people seem to like the long file name since it includes timestamp, and it is default in both plugins.

    I think maybe you can set the zoom level with FPDF/TCPDF, but I’ve never heard talk of it. It is not a feature either plugin offers natively.

    Thanks for your patience!
