Document security of PDFs
Hi everybody, in inspecting the document security of a PDF, which was generated by FOP, i noticed that -amongst others- the changing the document property was set to allowed, security method to none and document assembly set to allowed. Naive as i was, i expected Acrobat reader documents to be secure (a vague qualifier of course). Adobe PDF files are secure and reliable, according their own website. With Acrobat (Writer) i simply was able to change the contents of the fop-generated pdf . My question is: can i get pfd documents with fop in which the security-properties are more tight, say at least changing the document set to not allowed?

I believe that if you want properly secure PDF files then you need to do that using a third party tool which adds the security after FOP has generated the file. I am sure one or two have been mentioned on this list. Alex Openweb Analysts Ltd, London.

That's in the todo list, but still not implemented. BUt you can easily postprocess generated pdf by a third-party pdf-library like iText, see Joerg's example: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-devm=102002975028427w=2. -- Oleg Tkachenko eXperanto team Multiconn Technologies, Israel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
