Acrobat 8.1 and C# - How can you detect password protected PDF files?

I am modifying our existing C# code that opens PDF files. But when ever we hit a password protected file, we are prompted for a password. This is an automated process, so if we detect a password protected file, we move the file to a manual processing folder to be processed later.
We are using Acrobat 8.1 Standard.
Our code looks like this:
using
System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Linq;
using
System.Text;
using
Acrobat;
using
System.IO;
using
Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using
System.Reflection;
     AcroApp app = new AcroApp();     app.Hide();
     try
          if (app != null)          {
               app.CloseAllDocs();
               AcroAVDoc av = new AcroAVDoc();
               if (av.Open(filename, "Test") == true)               {
                    AcroPDDoc doc = new AcroPDDoc();                    doc = (
AcroPDDoc)av.GetPDDoc();
                    doc.Save((
short)Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull,
                    Utilities.GeneratePath(FileVersion.TEMP) + fi.Name.RemoveFileExtension() + ".PDF");                    doc.Close();
     catch (Exception ex)     {
          ErrorLog.LogError(filename.RemoveFileExtension(), ex);     }
     finally
          app.CloseAllDocs();
          app.Exit();
This works great for non-password protected PDF files, but it prompts for a password if the file is password protected. I was looking at the FileOpenEX functionality, but I can not find the reference to bring into my C# project. It looks like it is only for C++, since I could only find C++ examples.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

There are no methods in the Acrobat SDK for C# for what you wish to accomplish.

Password Protect Attachment file thru Mail from BO

Not folder but file (I do hope you understand the difference). Have you tried to search SDN at all? I don't have much time, but before replying initially I did just a quick search and it brought several posts mentioning the archiving functionality. And I'm sure 'Smartform to PDF' will bring up gozillion posts. Also I find the Google search with addition 'site:sap.com' to be quite helpful.
However, I would still recommend to review the requirements. Why exactly do you need this password protection? If there is a fear that someone other than a recipient might get access to the email account then there is really a bigger security issue in the organization and it should be resolved by some other means. As I have mentioned, password does not really add much protection.
Out of curiosity I briefly looked at the IRM description on the Microsoft's web site and it doesn't seem to be very helpful. First of all, it's the MS software and has to be installed on the user's PC and configured (how do we know the emai recipients are even on Windows?). Also it does say "Prevent an unauthorized recipient from accessing e-mail content", but I didn't quite get how exactly. Is there a retinal scan that comes with it? And the list of things it does not do gives you the whole another perspective on the email security.

How to split a password-protected PDF file?

There is a tutorial to let you know how to split a password-protected pdf file, check in here:http://www.kvisoft.com/tutorials/split-a-password-protected-PDF-file.html

Yup. You all are right. I ordered Adobe Acrobat today and the order is still processing. I can get to Adobe Acrobat.com but that too does not work. I guess I will have to wait until my order is processed before I get the keys to the kingdom. Thanks for your help and please forgive my ignorance.Regards,Bob

To populate data in different column you may use the below code.

DATA: v_tab TYPE char1.
v_tab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
CONCATENATE 'happy' 'new year' INTO wa_string-data SEPARATED BY v_tab.
APPEND wa_string TO it_data .
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename              = filename
TABLES
    data_tab              = it_data.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.

Send email with password protected zip file attachment

Hi Experts,
The requirement is to zip a password protected excel file and send the zipfile through email. There is no middleware(PI) involved. The program has to be run in background mode. It is possible to create a password protected excel file using OLE method, but it will not work in background mode.
Also it is possible to place the zip file in application server, but I am not able to give password for this file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You have to write a customer adapter module to handle this requirement.
Zip/Unzip can be done using the payloadzipbean standard module:

/people/stefan.grube/blog/2007/02/20/working-with-the-payloadzipbean-module-of-the-xi-adapter-framework
Is encoding an option instead of password for you:

REQUEST: Support for password-protected PDF files and SD-card installation

I would like to request for the features in the topic.
The current version can't open password-protected files hence I still need to download them on a PC before viewing them.
SD-card install is necessary for some devices running on Froyo as they don't have a lot of internal memory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AndrewSV,
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems opening password-protected PDF files, and that the users are being prompted for a password, which shouldn't be required for Viewing and Printing the file.
I have opened up a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=900822 bug for this issue], and our engineers and volunteers will be able to investigate this issue.
Yes, please attach the write-protected PDF as an example, so that they can see what's happening.
Thank you for your help! =)

Password protecting a file?

Can anyone tell me if there is a way of password protecting a file on my machine. I need it to be only opened by me even if someone else is using my user account.
I would really appreciate some help with this
Thanks!

You can zip it with a password (encrypt it). Unfortunately that option, even though it comes as
standard equipment, is available only from the command line (terminal.app).
http://opensoul.org/2007/4/9/creating-encrypted-zip-archives-with-os-x
You may create an encrypted sparse image on your desktop and store your files
in it. It's portable too,
just copy the encrypted image to a flash drive and take it with you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1578
There is "Meo" (a free file encryption utility):
http://www.nchsoftware.com/encrypt/index.html
There is openssl (comes with OS X), a command line tool (terminal):
http://osxdaily.com/2007/05/02/quickly-encrypt-a-file-with-openssl/
True Crypt (one of the most powerful solutions out there - and its free):
http://www.truecrypt.org/
Cryptor (a simple easy solution):

There are tons more of them out there, but I recommend these, because the price is right
and they will get the job done.

Creating/Extracting password protected zip files in AIR

Hello,
Does any one have any idea about creating/extracting password protected zip files in AIR. I am aware of FZip but it does not has the feature to password protect.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
VinSat

Here's some you could try. The first two links are to zip utilities for OS X. I can't tell you if they'll do what you need, I just looked for zip programs that work in OS X.
The third link is for the free Stuffit Expander. The last link is the results for "zip" at VersionTracker. You'll just have to try a bunch of them to find one that hopefully works.

Command for Unzipping a password protected zip file in Solaris

Hi,
I got a requirement where I need unzip a password protected zip file using java in Solaris.I tried with
unzip -P but it is not working in India and Australia (may be I need to download some patch). Can any one help me to find out the solution.
Thanks
Naresh

Hi peterchun,
Thanks for your reply.
I was trying with correct password only but my Solaris is not able to recognize unzip -P command. Can you please let me know whether I need to install any patch on Solaris (my Solaris version is 9) for this command.
Basic requirement: password protected zip files comes to our application and those need to be unzipped to one particular location. As we are using JAVA/J2EE in our application, Can you please suggest any UNIX command (with example) for this requirement will be great.
Thanks,
Naresh

Recovery a password protect excel file.

I have a password protected excel file and now it's corrupted and i can't open it. I tried to open_and_repair feature of excel2010 and different other stuffs, without success. I was wondering if there's a way to remove the password without opening the excel
files (i know the password). In this way maybe it'll be easier to repair the file. Is there a way to do this? What other things i could try?

Hi,
There are several methods to recover Data in Corrupted Excel Files.
We can use the following methods to troubleshoot problems with opening or using Excel
files:
Use a recovered copy of the document.
Use the
Open and Repair command.
Save the file in HTML format.
Save the file in XML Spreadsheet format.
If a chart is linked to the corrupted file, use a macro to extract the data.

Making specific folders password protected in Public folder

If I have two subfolders in the Public folder of my iDisk - each containing images for a different person - can I specify a different password for each folder?
Thanks

You cannot password protect an ordinary folder. A "disk image" is a special kind of folder that you CAN password protect; on the desktop that 'folder' has the icon of a volume because it actually is a temporary volume. Use Disk Utility to create as many such disk images as you need, each with its own password, and each with a meaningful name ("JonsPics", "stuffforMary", whatever) so that you don't get confused. Put the appropriate files into each disk image and give the appropriate people the password they will need.
Where you then put those disk images (files with suffix .dmg or .sparseimage), on an iDisk or anywhere else, is immaterial.
Try an experiment. Use Disk Utility to create a disk image (with encryption) on, say, your desktop. Drag some files into the temporary volume that has appeared (the 'folder'). Now unmount the temporary volume via a Finder window's sidebar 'eject' symbol or by dragging the volume to the trash - (which is equivalent to closing the folder). You will have a xxx.dmg or a xxx.sparseimage file on your desktop: it contains your files, but hidden from prying eyes - double-click it - it will ask for a password... Those .dmg (or .sparseimage) files are what you will upload to your iDisk.
You can mount a volume from a .dmg or .sparseimage file as often as you like - just as you can open a folder as often as you like -- but with these kind of "folders", once you have closed/unmounted them, you will only be able to remount/reopen them with the correct password.
Don't lose a password - Disk Utility warns you that without it you will be unable to access your files... which is exactly what you have been asking how to do!
Do try it -- you will find it a lot simpler than trying to follow my explanation!

Cannot password protect CSV file

I had a CSV file (workbook) that I password protected. Up until yesterday, I was prompted for a password to open this file, but this morning, I was not longer being prompted for a password. I tried opening the file in Excel 2013 and 2010 with the same result.
I tried to create a new CSV file (in both versions) and password protect the file (similarly to what I had done before) but the file did not retain the password protection.
Has anyone had problems password protecting a CSV file? Is there somewhere documented that .CSV files do not support password protection.
I am a little puzzled why it was working for several months, but now it is not.
Thanks
Andres

Hi,
I agree with Mr. Hans, we cannot password-protect it from Excel. I suppose that your CSV file may be encrypted with some code/third-party program. Please see the sample below:
