Hi all,

 

I am trying to learn the settings for the NativePDF exporter. Here is the code I am using: 

 

dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.UsePrintSpec = 'Yes'
dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = NativePDF!
dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Print.Paper.Size = 1 //1 – Letter 8 1/2 x 11 in
dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.MasterPassword = '123'
dw_print.SaveAs([filename], PDF!, true)

When I set MasterPassword it locks the ability to print the document without password. Is there a way to set it so the user can print the document without needing the password, but editing and copy are still locked?

 

Appreciate your help!

Edit:

 

Thanks to Mike S. this works just put in the wrong datawindow.

 

I did try setting restrictions like so :

dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.UsePrintSpec = 'Yes'
dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = NativePDF!
dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Print.Paper.Size = 1 
dw_print.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.MasterPassword = '123'
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.Restrictions = 'nomodify!,nocopy!'

Still cannot print.

Also tried saving the PDF without Restrictions and it still did not let me print it. So I assumed it had to do with the Masterpassword.

dw_1 OR dw_print? You used dw_1 for the restrictions and dw_print for the others....



it works fine for me ( i can print). what version of PB are you running?



i use modify instead of dot notation, and all in one:



dw.Modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.MasterPassword = '123' DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.Restrictions = 'nomodify!,nocopy!' ")

did you set the restrictions?

from the help:


"DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.Restrictions { = 'value' }"

 

Parameter

Description

value

(exp) The password for opening the generated PDF file.

The value can be a string containing one or more of the following values (separated by ","):

  • noprint! - Acrobat will prevent printing the file.

  • nohiresprint! - Acrobat will prevent high-resolution printing. If noprint is not set, printing is restricted to the print as image feature which prints a low-resolution rendition of the page.

  • nomodify! - Acrobat will prevent editing or cropping pages and creating or changing form fields.

  • noassemble! - Acrobat will prevent inserting, deleting, or rotating pages and creating bookmarks and thumbnails.

  • noannots! - Acrobat will prevent creating or changing annotations and form fields.

  • noforms! - Acrobat will prevent form field filling. (implies nomodify and noannots)

  • nocopy! - Acrobat will prevent copying and extracting text or graphics; the accessibility interface will be controlled by noaccessible.

  • noaccessible! - (Deprecated in PDF 2.0; not allowed in PDF/UA-1) Acrobat will prevent extracting text or graphics for accessibility

  • plainmetadata! - (PDF 1.5) Keep XMP document metadata unencrypted even in an encrypted document.
