  • 1.  Convert a Word Document (docx) to a password protected PDF file

    Hi, has anyone handled this challenge? :-)

    We need convert  ideally directly a Word Document (docx) to a password protected PDF file.
    In MS Word 2016, this option is available to the user as part of the export  functions to PDF.
    However, we would not want to go primarily the way of interaction with the MS Word GUI.

    Thanks for the help/hint.

    Jiri

    Hi @Jiri Hlucil,

    ​The Word VBO available on the DX includes an action for exporting a Word doc as a PDF, but it does not include the ability to password protect the PDF. We'll have to investigate that as that ability does not appear to be included in the Word object model used by the VBO.

    Cheers,

    You could perform a 2 step approach:
    1. Export the .DOC to .PDF using the Word VBO
    2. Password protect the .PDF using the PDF Toolkit on the DX
    Or, you could just use the PDF Toolkit to handle the conversion of your .DOC to .PDF and protecting it.

    Cheers,

    Thank you, Eric, for your answers.

    Here on DX is also PDF processing utility  -  Function for Utility - PDF
    Seems like it should be more affordable option for larger volumes of pdf documents that need to be encrypted.
