Export PDF specify permissions

[Benedikt]

Hi,

I am currently generating a pdf file I need to in generall encrypt. But printing and copying should still be allowed.
Is this possible somehow?

 

Greetings

Hi Benedikt,

At this point, PdfProcessing supports only full encrypting of the PDF document. We have logged a task to expose functionality allowing you to specify different permissions. You can vote for the implementation of the task as well as subscribe to track its status using the related public item: PdfProcessing: Provide API for setting different permissions when exporting encrypted PDF document.

Hello is there any new ETA on this ?

Is this possible using deviceInfo.Add("Permissions", *value here*) ?

I would like to enable printing even when we set OwnerPassword

Hello Jeremy,

I am happy to tell you that this functionality is already implemented. More information can be found in the PdfFormatProvider`s Settings help article and especially in the UserAccessPermissions topic.

Does this work with the following feature ?

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", reportSource, deviceInfo);

Hi Jeremy,

Currently, Telerik Reporting PDF export provides the options described in the article PDF Device Information Settings. Unfortunately, we don't allow for specific permissions to the generated PDF.

I have logged a new feature request and voted on your behalf - Allow for setting different permissions when exporting encrypted PDF documents. It will be considered for implementation based on received user votes. You will be automatically updated when the status of the work item changes.
