Password for pdf file

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am sending the output of the smartform as a pdf file and email to the customer. I need to protect the pdf file with a password. Please let me know if we can set the password for the pdf file in the driver program?

Points will be given for useful answer.

hi

good

FM EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT has an import parameter:

VALUE(PASSWORD) DEFAULT SPACE

Just set password to the pwd you want.

And the parameter

VALUE(PASSWORD_OPTION) TYPE I DEFAULT 0

reward point if helpful.

thanks

Hi,

I think we use the FM EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT to download the excel file.

Please let me know how to set the password for pdf file

Geeta, there isn't a way to set the password on a PDF through SAP unless you have a third-party application. Do a quick search on SDN for "PDF password" and you will see many threads about the same topic and they all come to the same conclusion; SAP does not provide a way to password protect the PDF.

You will need a third party application to do this but I do not know of any. I have tried to find a solution to this exact problem, as well as many other people, and so far nobody has a solution, as far as I know.

Please refrain from adding "Points will be given for useful answer." to your posts. This is frowned upon on SDN.
