I have a few hundred pdf files i have to protect with a uniqe user password. I want to do this from the command line and pass a unique password for each file and use Acrobat 9.0 or above.
Can someone tell me if this is possible? I've searched the forum and the manual but did not find an answer.

Re: SecurePDF: Command Line
Hello, mhub
There is currently no way to assign a unique password to each processed file automatically. As far as I am aware, we have seen a small few requests for this over the years, but so far do not have plans to offer such a function; I can present the idea to the Dev team again and see if they would like to reconsider that.
Kind regards,

Re: SecurePDF: Command Line
Hi Daniel,
it isn't possible to use the securePDF with arguments on the command line? I believe it would also be enough, if i could change the security guideline from command line
For my usecase I don't need to process all files with one call of the tool, I think.
I use VBA to execute a command i created with VBA in the Windows Shell. Calling the tool a few hundred times is also an option this works finde with the merge Tool.

Re: SecurePDF: Command Line
Hi mhub.
We haven't such possibility at the moment. But theoretically it can be implemented in the way like this:
PDFXTools.exe /runtool secure_UserA.json "c:\UserA.pdf"
PDFXTools.exe /runtool secure_UserB.json "c:\UserB.pdf"
...
and secure_***.json files may contain the tool-ID and specified password individual for each User*.
Just an idea...
Cheers.
