PDF XChange Forum

Hi,

I am using VB6 and the latest version of Core API (7.0.325.1).

I am trying to set permissions on a pdf file but that is not working. Following is the code:
The code above works but when I open the file again and get the permission, it has not changed. What am i missing here?

Regards,
M

Hello mmasood,

The SetOperationRestriction method sets the restrictions for the runtime, meaning that you cannot save these settings with the document, as the PDF security itself has very limited settings and the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... Encryption method should be used to set it and save it with the document.

Hi Alex,

Is there a companion Get method for getting the encryption with the security flags? If yes, can you please provide a link?

Hello mmasood,

The developer who can answer this won't be available for the couple of days - hopefully I can tell more afterwards.

Cheers,

Hi -

Has your developer been able to address this yet?

Thanks,
Wayne

Hello Wayne,

He told that there is no such a method as of now, he will try to add it in one of the future releases though.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex -

Ok, thanks for checking.

We are facing several security-based issues with our clients so this would help as well.
