form 1263 (immi.gov.au) will not allow me to save a completed copy, says doc is encrypted
After downloading a version of the form 1263, I complete the form but I cannot save it (pdf doc, one option to 'save a copy', no export option), when I try to save I get the message 'fie cannot be saved as <filename>, document is encrypted'.
If I cannot save it I cannot attach it to my visa application. Please help
Thanks

This is a known bug. The form is digitally signed, and cannot be modified without breaking the signature. Evince refuses to do this.

Try printing the form to your PDF printer,
File->print->print to file->PDF
then see if you can edit that?

There is an alternate solution.
copy the PDF to your home folder, and rename it to "form.pdf" (all lower case).
Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T, or from applications menu)
And cut and paste these two commands:
sudo apt-get install qpdf
qpdf --decrypt form.pdf form-decrypted.pdf
You will be prompted for your password, and some software will be downloaded securely from the repository.
A new PDF will appear in your home folder called "form-decrypted
Can you help with this problem?
