Save pdf form editable after filling in pdftk

I use pdftk to fill out a form, but the output form does not edit when I open it in an acrobat reader. I get an error: "This document has included advanced features in Adobe Reader, the document has been modified since it was created, and the use of advanced features is no longer available."

Can I edit a document?

No. AFAIK for PDF to be edited in Adobe Reader must be digitally signed by Adobe Acrobat. Obviously, manipulating a PDF file with pdftk modifies the PDF so that the signature is no longer valid.

C flattenYou can specify only one input PDF file, and it just aligns the output pdf file, which makes it invalid.

Syntax

:

For editable pdf as output - "passthru("<dir> $pdf_fill $fdf output - "); "

Smooth - passthru("<dir> $pdf_fill $fdf output - flatten ");
