If i encrypt a PDF file, is it possible to open it with the owner password (in PDFCreator) and do another encrypt with a new password and new permissions ?

If yes howto ?

Thanks

Hello,

It is not clear what you mean but below is a snippet of code that does this.

With PDF1
.SetLicenseKey LicenseTo, ActivationCode
'Open existing encrypted PDF document
.Open "c:\temp\testEncrypt.pdf", ""

'protect a document using a new owner and a new user password
.Encrypt "owner", "user", &HFFFFFFC0
.Save "c:\temp\testEncrypt.pdf", 0

End With

Thanks
