GetSecurity Method

Description

Gets the Security settings of the Document if it's secure, using the specified Owner Password.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function GetSecurity( _ ByVal OwnerPassword As String _ ) As security

Parameters

OwnerPassword: The Owner Password of the Document.

Return Type

The Security settings of the Document.

Remarks

If the Document lacks Security, this returns null. If the Owner Password is incorrect an invalid owner password error will be thrown.

If an Empty String is used for the Owner Password, the Security.IsEditable property should be checked afterwards to determine if the Security settings returned can be modified.

Documents with Security Settings but no actual Owner Password specified are possible; in this case, an Empty String should be used as the specified parameter, and the Security.IsEditable property should be checked afterwards.

If security can't be modified, then the Owner Password will be unavailable.
