Password protecting

[tracy rickman]

Is there any way to add a password to the PDF?

 

I have a PDF that I will need to email with slightly sensitive data in it.

I need to be able to secure it with a password.

 

Thanks,

Tracy

Hi Tracy,

You can use the following lines:

// Encryption

report.Preferences.PDF.Encryptor.Password.User = "test";

report.Preferences.PDF.Encryptor.Password.Owner = "siberix";

report.Preferences.PDF.Encryptor.Permissions.Add = false;

report.Preferences.PDF.Encryptor.Permissions.Copy = false;

report.Preferences.PDF.Encryptor.Permissions.Modify = false;

report.Preferences.PDF.Encryptor.Permissions.Print = true;

or in XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Report>

<Preferences>

<PDF ColorSpace="RGB">

<Encryptor>

<Password Owner="siberix" User="test" />

<Permissions Add="False" Copy="False" Modify="False" Print="True" />

</Encryptor>

</PDF>

</Preferences>

<Sections>

...

</Sections>

</Report>

Thank You,

Victor
