Maybole Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I am using an HP Pavilion G6 laptop. It came with Windows 7 and I installed LibreOffice. I downloaded several forms and documents, filled them in and periodically altered/updated them as needed. All worked well and I kept them stored on a memory stick. Then I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon. At first I could not get my Brother DCP-T300 printer to work but after downloading drivers from internet I got it and the scanner. The problem is, when I now call up documents from the memory stick and try to alter text, I get "Write protected cannot alter". Forbye, If I scan or download a document into the computer, it saves as a PDF, again unable to alter. What have done wrong and how can I correct it? I want to keep documents, especially forms in storage and update them as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
