annotation security setting
Hi, I would like to change some security settings on a PDF document through code using PDF-XChange ActiveX component, but I can't find any suitable method for doing that in the ActiveX manual. I only found the IsOperationGranted by which I can get information on permissions on the pdf. Is there a way of doing such a thing? In particular I would like to change Summarize (annotations) property on that document in order to highlight or comment it. I can already do it calling Property Window -> Security and then managing security options. But is there a way to unlock annotations security setting by code?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Fabrizio

Hi, Fabrizio.
I'm afraid, it is impossible in current realization.
But we planning to implement functionality for document security changing in the near future, wait some weeks...

@Tracker
Can you please add a function to save annotations in dependence of the author ?
We need such a feature to implement a inspection of technical drawings in our software.
Every user must see all annotations , but only save his own.
thx

Re: annotation security setting
I need a function to modify document security settings too. Is it already realized? I havn't found it in API documentation.

Hi, Jörg and Fabrizio.
Currently you may use one possibility only:
- it removes all document's security restrictions, but document should be opened with owner password, for details look to SDK-help,
Otherwise you must use our PDF-Tools SDK at this time to be able to modify/set Security options on existing PDF files.
HTH.

Code: Select all
ctrl.DoDocumentVerb(docId, "", "RemoveSecurity", NULL, NULL, 0);

Re: annotation security setting
Hi Vasyl,
I want to extract some pages from a large PDF, displayed with ActiveX Viewer, and save them to a file. This new file should have restricted access to the document content, but no open password. The large source PDF has an open password, but no other restrictions.
Can I combine ActiveX Viewer and PDF-Tools to achieve this?
Is there another way to realize this?
Is a function to modify document security settings planned for ActiveX Viewer?
Best regards,
Jörg.

You may use our ActiveX to extract pages to an external file and use the PXC_EnableSecurity(), PXC_SetPermissions() to setup security permissions for result-document from the PDF-Tools SDK ...I want to extract some pages from a large PDF, displayed with ActiveX Viewer, and save them to a file.
