Permissions Property (PdfSecurity)

Specifies the user permissions for the document. The PdfPermissions values can be combined using a bitwise OR combination.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Permissions As PdfPermissions

public PdfPermissions Permissions {get; set;}

Property Value

PdfPermissions enumeration value.

Remarks

This property represents a binary OR, so it will only evaluate the last value given. Therefore, if you want to allow both printing and copying, both permissions must be set in the same line of code, i.e.
p.Permissions = AllowPrint | AllowCopy

Example

Private void btnExport_Click(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    rptDataDynamics rpt = new rptDataDynamics();
    DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport p = new DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport();
    p.Security.Encrypt = true;
    p.Security.OwnerPassword = "Mortimer";
    p.Security.UserPassword = "monkey";
    p.Security.Permissions = DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfPermissions.AllowPrint;
    p.Security.Use128Bit = true;
    rpt.Run();
    this.arv.Document = rpt.Document;
    p.Export(rpt.Document, Application.StartupPath + "\\p.pdf");
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub btnExport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Dim rpt As New rptDD
    Dim p As New DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport
    p.Security.Encrypt = True
    p.Security.OwnerPassword = "Mortimer"
    p.Security.UserPassword = "monkey"
    p.Security.Permissions = DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfPermissions.AllowPrint
    p.Security.Use128Bit = True
    rpt.Run()
    Me.Viewer1.Document = rpt.Document
    p.Export(rpt.Document, Application.StartupPath & "\p.pdf")
End Sub
