The company that I work for currently uses your Converter printer driver to convert documents to PDF. Recently I have been asked to look into implementing encryption on those documents so that only admin users can print them out etc. At the same time they don’t want to have a password for the normal every day users of the document that have the restricted access. Is it possible to do this with your print driver?

Document encryption
Yes, it is possible to do that with the Professional version of the Document Converter.
You will need to only specify an owner password for the document when encrypting it so users will have restricted access but will not have to enter a password.
If you have version 2.10 and above of the PDF Converter you will find samples about Encryption in the Developers manual "Common Driver Interface.pdf".
Hope this helps.

Thanks Joan,
It's all working now thanks, one thing of note that I noticed is that using the Document object in the ActiveX interface, the Encrypt and Encrypt128 behave differently when the UserPassword is left blank i.e. if you don’t set both passwords for the Encrypt method the document doesn’t get encrypted at all, but it all works correctly using the Encrypt128 Method.
