Hi,

 

You have added the new feature in PDF Security in latest version on Telerik reporting  R3 2016.

But do not have details regarding that how to set password?

Could please send the detail how to set the password in manual rendering pdf in code.

Hello Senthil,

The PDf security settings can be applied through the deviceInfo parameters passed to the reportProcessor.Renderreport method - Password Protection.

All PDF device settings are listed here. An example how to export programmatically and pass device settings - here.


I hope this helps.

@Senthil how to make this work. When I use this code the following erro apears:

System.Collections.Hashtable deviceInfo = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
deviceInfo.Add("OwnerPassword", "1234567890");
deviceInfo.Add("OwnerPassword", "1234567890");

RenderingResult result = new ReportProcessor().RenderReport("PDF", reportSource, deviceInfo);

 

ERROR:

No data is available for encoding 1252. For information on defining a custom encoding, see the documentation for the Encoding.RegisterProvider method

Hi Rener,

Can you please provide us with more details about your application? For example which framework it targets. One of our users has experienced this problem and this is the solution that was shared with us:

 

- Added Nuget System.Text.Encoding.CodePages

- Added Encoding.RegisterProvider(CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance) to Main in Program.cs;

 

You can also attach Trace Listener and send it to us, so we can inspect the generated log file.
