Posted on by Rajdip Das 3,333

Hi All,

I run a report and save it into a .pdf format. These procedures are absolutely fine. But now I need to create a password protected of that .pdf file. Please provide me the procedure how to create password of the pdf while it saves at the time of report run? Kindly help me in giving a solution to this procedure.

    Hi Rajdip, i am thinking about how you can achieve this.. and i am of the opinion that you should not build this as integration/enhancement in ax.. this is why i say this: i believe that ax creates pdf files using free dlls available from Adobe.. however i dont think that abobe have actually made Encryption a part of the free object. so to encrypt a pdf file, you would have to purchase adobe acrobat (writer).. now if you are doing all that, why can the user simply encrypt the file using Abobe acrobat? so generate it of ax, and then encrypt in a acrobat.. it might just save you some time and the client some money.. but i understand that if this is something that is done very often then you might want to streamline the process further.. let us know and we can take it from there. regards, Mohammed

     Hi Mohammed,

    Thanks for your response. Actually now I am stating my requirements..

    I have to generate payslip as report and save into a pdf. After creating pdf then it would be sent to the employee via e-mail. Up to this procedure is absolutely fine. Now I have to incorporate a password protection of each payslip pdf files. Only user will know the password and then they only can the open file by entering selected password. I can't incorporate password in the file.

    Right now I have Acrobat Prof 9.0 and also I have tried with wrapper class in AX of Adobe, there I found the class methods those are returning boolean value. I need such as class/methods/procedure which will make incorporate password into a existing pdf file.

    Hi Gl00mie,

    Thanks for reply. Can you tell me the procedure of create ZIP Achieve and set password into it under DAX environment? If it is done then my problem will solve.

    There are tons of zip (i.e. implementing Deflate algorithm) compression libraries. For instance I've found SharpZipLib - free library that supports zip/bzip2/gzip formats (including creation of password-protected zip-files) and ships with complete source code.
