Adding a custom column to Markups
I've added a custom column (check mark) to the Markups List. However, when I add a pdf to a BB session none of my co-workers can check/uncheck the check box. I had them add the profile it was saved to when creating but still nothing. Anyone know where I went wrong?

Several Municipalities are requesting the PDF's be Unlocked so they can mark-up and add their stamps. Much to Engineers sealed drawings, they do not want them unlocked. I tried scanning and sending them, but they are still locked. Can a blank mark-up layer be added before or after password protecting the drawing?
