As I understand owner-id is used on Palm OS but what about other OSes,
specifically Windows, Mac and Windows CE platform ?
Is there any way of password / user restriction for those platforms ?

For Windows and Mac, it is straightforward enough to get the same level of protection to open the document for a Windows and Mac viewer. Can just query the list of HotSync usernames on the machine, and if one of those usernames matches the owner-id, then open it.


A fast desktop viewer has been put together by Bill N., using Bill J's libunpluck library. Can download it here:

The code for getting the list of users on a Mac and Windows is also available in the plucker_desktop dir of CVS (in palm_installer_msw.cpp and palm_installer_mac.cpp). You would just combine the code from these two to get a desktop viewer that can obey owner-id privacy.


I don't know about the Plucker PocketPC viewer, you might want to email the author and ask.

Best wishes,
Robert
