• How do I use Visual Studio 2010/2013 and the Acrobat SDK kit to create an application that will be the password protect a PDF file?

  I can use some other 3rd party tools that will allow me to open a PDF file, add user passwords and save it.  How can I do that using the SDK?  Looking for a simple solution... Thank you

  OK, so the SDK is a complete non starter because

  -the SDK is to work with Acrobat

  -Acrobat isn't for the server.

  There are Adobe PDF Library, which provides a large part of the plugin API and CAN be used to make applications. Separate issue, DataLogics licenses (individual courses).

• Password protect many PDF files in a batch

  I have several PDF files, I want to add passwords, but I don't want to combine them into a single file.

  Is there a way to batch or run a script that would assign a password to all the files individually in one fell swoop?

  Thank you!

  Hi Kim,

  The short answer is Yes.

  Select it Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing menu item

  Click the new sequence on the dialog of batch sequences

  Add a name (for example password Sec) and then click OK in the dialog box new sequence

  Click on the Select command button on the edit batch sequence dialog box

  Highlight the list box on the left until you find the security

  Select Security and then click the Add button

  Select Security in the listbox on the right, and then click the Edit button

  Click Password Protection in the drop-down list security method

  Affect the security settings that you want to use, then click the OK button in the password security settings dialog box

  You will be asked to confirm the password you have chosen

  Click the close button in the Security dialog box

  Click OK in the edit sequence dialog box

  You are in the dialog box change the sequence of batch at this stage and finished one of the three points. This is where the batch is powerful. If you have decided to run the command in a selected all folder you need to do is to drop all unencrypted in the folder you selected and run the batch sequence. If you click the Output Options button you can assign new names to the files so you can keep the original unencrypted separate of the newly encrypted copy.

  I hope this helps.
