Password to Open File

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi, 
I'm using version 8.16.

I have several hundred files that I want to password protect.  I use the following to set the password that a user is required to enter to make changes to a file's contents and it works fine. 

Perms = QP.EncodePermissions(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1) 'Set permissions
retval = QP.LoadFromFile(MyFileName, NullString)
retval = QP.Encrypt("mypassword", NullString, 1, Perms)
QP.SaveToFile (MyFileName)

My question is how can I use some similar coding to set the password that a user is required to enter to actually open a file?

Many thanks.

	Hi, you wanna set a user Password. It's the same syntax: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/Encrypt.php retval = QP.Encrypt("myownerpassword", "myuserpassword", 1, Perms) Cheers, Ingo
