 Topic: Password DetectionPosted: 13 Jan 11 at 11:36AM |
|
Hi there
I've been using Quick PDF for a few months now but am new to the forums :)
I am trying to determine whether user selected files are password protected. Some PDFs are encrypted but do not have passwords, requiring a blank password to be set with SetAdvancePassword(""), but some files will need the user to enter the password so I need to be able to determine which is needed.
I thought the return value from LoadFromFile might do the trick but it always returns a 1, regardless if the file is encrypted with or without a password. So I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong, or if this is even the correct way to check for password protected files?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Si!
//in Delphi: // EncryptionStatus 1 and 2 means encrypted If EncryptionStatus > 0 Then Decrypt; With "GetAnalysisInfo" you can check if there's a user- or main password (and other things). Have a look here: http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/GetAnalysisInfo.php Cheers and welcome here, Ingo |

Just tried that and AnalyseFile requires the password in order to analyse the file. I need to find out if a password is needed so I can prompt the user for it, which I can then use to open the file.

Sorry.
Read the online reference and try "SecurityInfo"... It will work for you... sure ;-) |

I already tried using that, but it returns 0 for all items. But as you say it should work - I'll double check my code to make sure.

Hi!
SecurityInfo is one of the oldest function. It WILL work if your code is okay. Perhaps you should post it here? Cheers, Ingo |
