How to show Password Security Settings window

[TatianaS]

Hello,
I would like to allow my users to set document security. Is there a way to trigger 'Password Security - Settings' window to pop up and bypass other document properties windows?

Thanks,
Tatiana

Hi Tatiana,

I could not find such an option in the documentation, so going to check with our devs and see if there is any undocumented way to do that.

Hi Tatiana,

I've once again requested help from my colleagues and hope that we will have some further news for you a bit later today.

Hi, Tatiana.

Is there a way to trigger 'Password Security - Settings' window to pop up and bypass other document properties windows?

Currently is no way for this, sorry.

hello,
I have a scenario when users create black annotations to protect sensitive information on the document. I can flatten the annotations, however, text behind flattened annotations is still can be copied and searched for.

Is there is a way to set all document components to be Encrypt? or are there any other ways, excluding password, to secure the content of a document via API or java script?

Thanks,
Tatiana

It looks like that you required 'redaction' of page content. Viewer doesn't support the redaction. So, without redaction the text(or any other content) that is under your black rectangle will be available for user in any case (excepting when ti is blocked by doc's security). Currently is no way to forbid programmatically for end-user the copying of page text selection.

Tip: our PDF-Editor supported redaction as well and its SDK will be opened for devs in the near future...

Good to hear that 'redaction' is going to be available, but in the meanwhile, is it possible to set doc security (excluding password) so that the content of a document will not be searchable or selectable. Is there some java script maybe I can run?

Thanks

Hi Tatiana.

I'm afraid but no way ta make text non selectable and non searchable. No any script or security-permisson for this. We can add to the document object the simple boolean property like "InaccessibleText" BUT the FullSearch pane will still search in such document when you search in folder that contains the source-file of document (because 'InaccessibleText' prop is only open-time property and cannot be saved to the source file)...
