Password protection does not work

Post by klaus schulze »

Hello,
I'm trying to add an password protection for opening a pdf file:

After clicking OK, saving and closing the document I can still open it without having to enter a password.

Am I doing it wrong?

Hello Klaus,

Can you please check which build of our products are you using?
If it's the latest one (331) - then have you tried restarting the Editor after changing the document security - and does it then work as expected?

Regards,
Stefan

Hi,
yes, it's 8.0.331.0.
Re-starting the editor solved the problem, but is this normal behavior?

Hello klaus,

In the session which you used to add the security we know that you are the owner of the document, and it's much more convenient for you as the owner to be able to continue to work with the file. Once you restart the Editor (or send the file to someone else to look at it) - they will be asked for the password.

Regards,
Stefan

If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.
