I have the following freetext annotation, but no matter what I do I cannot get it to print. Any Suggestions?

this.addAnnot({contents: ""This is my text on the page"", type: ""FreeText"", page: 0, textFont: font.Helv, textSize: 18, rect: [15, 765, 420, 784], alignment: 1, print: true});

In the print UI select the "document and markup" options for what to print.

Is there a way to force it to print without making that selection.

I found a method called flattenPages() and I tried it, but I get the following error. I have to add that there is also a digital certificate attached to the document. Is there a way to get around the error below?

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.flattenPages:23:Doc undefined:Open
