Create a password protected excel file

Hi everyone,
I need to create a password-protect excel sheet using plsql.
Please if some one could help me with this ??
Regards,
Riddhisha Khamesra

there is no way directly from PL/SQL to make ExcelStarting with Office 2007, Excel's default file format uses the Open XML standard (ie basically a zip archive of XML and other media files).
You can generate such files with pure PL/SQL, but adding password security is another story...
- Using a protection at the workbook level requires the creation of an encrypted archive.
- Using a protection at the worksheet level is easier because the password itself is embedded (in an encrypted form) into the sheet definition.
Prior to Office 2007, there's the "XML Spreadsheet 2003" format. It opens the way to easy XML generation but it's limited (in particular, no password support, no macro etc.).

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

Saving to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007 using security features such as password and print restriction

Good Afternoon,
I am wondering if there is a way to implement the security features such as password and print restriction while saving a document to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007.
Regards,
Steve

Bill,
Thank you. I was able to find the security setting section. The problem I have now, however, is writing the VBA to save to PDF and incorporate the security settings. I thought if i applied the settings to the Excel document I was working on it would carry over, but this does not seem to be the case. Any idea's?

I am unable to password protect a pdf file. Any thoughts. I went to help and none of the options were available to me.. I pay for pdf conversion to word and excel

Password protection is ONLY available with Acrobat Standard or Pro. The PDF to Word converter is just what the name implies... PDF to Word... No encryption, no protection.

Is there a way to Update and SaveAs, an XFA form using VBA or similar ?

All:
Need help to auto-fill and auto-save PDFs using VBA or some other means.
I have created an XFA form using LiveCycle ES ( v8 ) with a few fields.
What I need to do is repeat these steps below for 200+ PDF forms
Open the blank PDF form
Update 3 fields
Save the PDF with a new name
My Excel VBA code so far ( ** Copied from another post ) where dFile = "C:\temp.pdf" and dAccount = "Any Account"
Sub rxOpenPDF_UpdateFields(dFile, dAccount )
    Dim pdfApp As Acrobat.AcroApp, pdfPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc, jso As Object
    Dim str1$, bolOpen As Boolean, strFile$
    Set pdfApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set pdfPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    bolOpen = pdfPDDoc.Open(dFile)
    Set jso = pdfPDDoc.GetJSObject
    str1 = jso.getfield("Account_Name").Value ' Will appreciate if there is a way to set a field value
    pdfApp.Exit
    Set pdfApp = Nothing
    Set pdfPDDoc = nothing
    Set jso = Nothing
End Sub
Excel VBA is shutting down ( cannot recover ) when it runs the pdfPDDoc.Open statement
Any help will be very appreciated

I am on Windows XP,
In VBA, I have created Tool References to [Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library]
Downloaded the Acrobat v9 SDK but am lost trying to locate any help for simple VBA.

lrosenth,
Would I be able to Update & SaveAs with a newer version of LiveCycle ( does Adobe still have a LiveCycle line ) ?
I was looking at InDesign but am not sure if it has the functionality that I need ( i.e. create multiple forms from an Excel list)
.. also am unsure of the learning curve.

How do I password-protect a PDF document that doesn't let me change the security settings?

I want to password-protect my PDF document (so when I email it, it can only be opened/read by intended recipients as it contains confidential/sensitive information) but when I go into document security, I'm unable to change the Security Method (which is currently set to 'No Security' - not by me). There's a 'show details' icon but it's grey so I can't click on it. What can I do to protect this document from being opened by non-intended recipients?

Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader! That makes sense. Thanks so much for your reply. At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs. If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
Help?

You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

How to password protect PDF documents or files?
Open the PDF file in Acrobat
Select File > Document Security from the menu
Got to the u201CSecurity Optionsu201D drop-down and select u201CAcrobat Standard Securityu201D
Find the box labelled u201CPassword required to open documentu201D and place a check mark against it.
Edit or type the password
You can also add a password requirement for changing permissions or password.To add a a required password check the box against u201Crequired password to change permissions or passwordu201D and enter the password. However note that this password must be different from the one that you entered for securing or password protecting the PDF file.
If you want your PDF document to be password accessible to users with previous versions of Acrobat Reader (versions earlier than 5.0), do not change the 40-bit encryption setting. However if your users or audience will be using version 5 or later versions of the Reader (or the full Acrobat program) then you may use 128-bit encryption.

How do I create a password-protected certificate

I have installed a J2SE adapter engine. I have been asked to allow the browser to connect using the HTTPS protocol. I have found the relevant information in the documentation, but how do I create a password-protected certificate, and therefore how do I set the following parameters:
HTTP.SSLcertificate=<p12-certificate name>
HTTP.SSLcertificatePassword=<p12-certificate password>
HTTP.SSLcertificatespecifies the complete file name of a password-protected certificate and HTTP.SSLcertificatePassword specifies the corresponding password.
Thank you in advance

Library that will let one create a password protected zip file

Hello All, In my last post, I was not clear, in the explanation of my requirement so that could be a reason for no replies
I wanted to know whether there are any Java libraries that I can use to create a password protected zip file which will be recognized by WINZIP
Will hope to hear back .
Thanks again

Thanks for the mail and information. So, from my
understanding, there are no Java libraries thatare
free that will let you create a password protected
zip file that WINZIP recognises.
Please let me know.
ThanksThere might be free Java APIs that could do that. I
just stated that I have not come across any. You can
google and see if you can find any free APIs.
The other way to do it is to write your own code for
password protecting the zip files created by
java.util.zip. A more time consuming solution but a
solution nonetheless. But with this solution you
would run into the problem of compatibility with
winzip.
Another solution would be to see if you can dig out
some command based zip utility (I am not sure if
there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to
mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce()
from your java source code to execute that command.
I am not aware of any other solution. Hope this helps.thanks again for the reply.
Can you throw more light on this statement
"Another solution would be to see if you can dig out some command based zip utility (I am not sure if there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce() from your java source code to execute that command."
regarding the command based zip utility, does this provide a password protected zip file, so that winzip will understand and encode it?.
Please let me know.
Thanks

How do I create a password protected page?

Hi,
I need to create a password protected page and need help!
Anyone out there . . .
Thanks,
Manda

Depends on web server.
But some things to look for are .htaccess if using *NIX.
Otherwise a database and your Dreamweaver help files will
suffice.
