Password protected Excel file generation using Java

Hi,
I want to create password protected excel file using Java. So when you manually open this file it should prompt for password.
There are APIs but they are licensed and are for trial period. I want solution which is free.
I need this solution urgently..

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.

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

Before I buy "numbers" can anyuser tell me if I'll able 2 open password protected excel files in 4S?

Before I buy "numbers" can anyuser advise me from their experiences if I'll be able to open password protected excel files in iphone 4S?

I haven't tried opening any password-protected Office files in Numbers or Pages on my iOS device, but I doubt that it can be done. Neither Numbers or Pages for the Mac can open them so it is extremely unlikely.

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.).

Password-protected Excel file

I am trying to create a connection to a password-protected Excel 2003 file.
When I go to Create New Connection/Access/Excel(DAO)/make New Connection - I enter the filename path, choose Excel 8.0 from drop-down, and click the box for Secure Logon, and I enter the database password in the first box that un-greys and then leave the other 3 blank.
I get the following error message : "Logon Failed. Details DAO Error Code: 0xc59 Source: DAO Workspace Description: Could not decrypt file"
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use the Excel 8.0 Native Driver for Excel 97-2003 (.xls file extension) or use ODBC driver as well but the the only thing is you need to open the Excel workbook before connecting to Crystal Reports.
Thanks,

[URGENT] Is Password protected excel file allowed in SharePoint 2013?

Hi Everyone,
My boss wanted me to upload some sensitive files into the SharePoint. So I want to use the basic password encryption in Excel Option to create passwords for each one.
Due to the unclear rules of SharePoint, it has broken down for several times. So this time, I want to ask professionals first - Can I upload password protected spreadsheets into SharePoint?
Would Sharepoint allow that?
Thanks for your ideas!

Yes, I can confirm the protected Excel file, whatever the Workbook protect or Worksheet protect, would be allowed by SharePoint site and upload without problem.
Thanks.

Password protected excel files in Sharepoint 2013

We have an issue with excel sheets. After editing and saving, the tags on the document disappear.
Basically one of my members uploaded the document. On first upload, she input the tags on it, and when she opened and editted and saved it, the tags disappear and also an error message came at the top.
Please note that there is a macro and a password on the document.
Please help !
Regards,
prajK

Hi Prajk,
I tried to reproduce the issue per the steps below, let me know if there is misunderstanding:
Create an Excel file with Password.
Upload the Excel file.
Select the file and add tags.
Click the Excel file, it says with Password enabled, I can only open it with Excel client application. So I open it with Excel, edit it and save again.
Select the file and click Tags and Notes, the tag is there.
I wonder if the issue can be reproduced on other Excel documents by her account. If you add a tag to the document item, does the issue still occur?

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.
Regards,
Renjith Nair

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

Is encoding an option instead of password for you:

If they've implemented the password system correctly there probably isn't a way of getting the password at all.

Convert Excel into Password Protected PDF Files

Hello Aandi/Lenoard,
I believe you are the Adobe Forums administrators so I thought you guys are the right people to approach.
OTHERS ARE ALSO INVITED TO COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC.
I have C# desktop app which generates Excel files and our goal is to convert these excel files one at a time into password protected PDF files. We use a 3rd party software currently, but I am challenging myself into saying that I can use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK to achieve what is required .
I have downloaded Acrobat 9.0 SDK and also have Adobe Professional 8.0(trail) in my development machine. Can you firstly tell me if this is possible and secondly what would be required on the client machines to run it?
THanks,
Andy

"Encrypt with Password" is the policy name, not the policy id.
Did you try enumerating the policy object to see how to set it up? I ran this from the console to get the policy details:
var policy = security.chooseSecurityPolicy();
for ( var i in policy )
console.println(i + ": " + eval("policy." + i));
That will pop up your list of policies. Choose "Encrypt with Password" and hit Apply, which returned the following:
policyId: SP_STD_default
name: Encrypt with Password
description: This policy will allow you to set an open or modify password on a document.
handler: Adobe.Standard
target: document
Of course, all you really need are the policyId, handler and target. Make sure you read and thoroughly understand the security requirements documented in the API reference for this method as well.

Printing a password protected PDF file using acroread from Unix?

We installed v8.1.3 acroread on the server but we are unable to print a password protected PDF file from command line in Unix? cat <passprotected>.PDF | /usr/bin/acroread -toPostScript | lp -dprinter we get the following error "lp: Error - stdin is empty, so no job has been sent." Please advice Thank you in advance. MSUDHAN.

Hello, If the pdf file has a doc open password or if printing is disallowed you will not be able to print it using the commandline. Any other pdf can be printed using the same command : cat a.pdf | acroread -toPostScript | lp -d <printer> Regards, Rishi
