Hi,

there seem to multiple issues here:

  1. It is not possible to redistill encrypted PDFs using Ghostscript. (which PDFCreator uses for the conversion)
    If any security settings are active in the original PDF, you can’t generate a new PDF from it with PDFCreator, as this would simply remove the security restrictions.

  2. There seems to be a permission problem for a registry key which PDFCreator needs to access. If you’d like to troubleshoot this I will check which key it could be.

Best regards,

Robin
