Hi Deepika,

Could you please let us know, if you managed to get the settings.

Please let us know , how you achieved the required "Password secured" instead of 'No security'.

Hi Deepika,

You could try to add a password to the PDF as follows:

Prerequisites: NW70 SP-13 or higher (include ADS J2EE engine)

Preparation

1. Job profile

first create xml file which has following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<JobProfile>

<Description>

##Password encryption

</Description>

<Protect transform = "add">

<OpenPassword>open</OpenPassword>

<MasterPassword>master</MasterPassword>

</Protect>

</JobProfile>

You can select any name for <OpenPassword> and <MasterPassword>.

Save this xmlfile. And copy it to ADS server

/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/JobProfiles/Custom/Print

2. Create Password alias on ADS

Visual Admin -> server -> services -> DocumentServicesConfiguration

-> Password tab

Create 2 alias

Alias: open (It should be same as as above XML tag <OpenPassword>)

password: this password will be used for opening PDF.

Alias: master (It should be same as as above XML tag

<MasterPassword>)

password: this password will be used for opening with Acrobat

Professional.

3. Modify print program

When you call sfp runtime, you need to use 'SET_JOB_PROFILE' with job

profile name (created by step1)

htm

Sample ABAP report is available:

FP_TEST_03

Job Profile -> select file which is created by step1. (You can use F4

help)

These are addtional steps to add password encryption for PDF.

Hello Tiago,

We are trying to implement the same in our project . We have done the 3 steps but while testing the sample  report FP_TEST_03 it says "table scustom has no entries in it".

We have used the newly created custom profile for encryption from the F4 help.

Also, could you please specify if there are any pre-requisites before doing this like installing the reader right credentials in ADS etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Tiago,

I have followed all the steps, I could able to generate PDF with password protected as per job profile created, in our organization they need to generate password for pay slips, kindly advice how to proceed further.

Hi

For the "table scustom has no entries in it", try the note 123445.

No, you don't need Reader Right Credentials for this script.
