PDF file with password protection

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Any idea about how to create a PDF file which is password protected.

I know the procedure to create PDF files from spool, script, smartform etc: , till that part it is ok. But my concern is how we can create the PDF file which is password protected.

Once when we try to open the PDF file it should prompt for password, just like the password protected pdf files which are provided by some banks in monthly billing statements.

It will be highly appreciated if you can help me.

Hi,

For PDF there is no password protection provided by SAP.

You need to use some third party tools.

But if you want to do the same for any excel file.

You can do that by the following procedure.

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

Set it to 1 to enables it.
