The extendedPdf macro may enable you to set a password. IIRC, it is installed using Tools >Package Manager. See http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#102785 There has been discussion recently on the Macros & API forum relating to "security" settings for pdf export. The reason you cannot record a macro is that the macro recorder is incapable of recording more than the fact that you use a dialogue. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/OO-2.1%2C-WindowsXP-Pro%2C-Writer-Macro-to-Export-PDF-w-Password-Encryption-Issue-tf3443117.html#a9604674 Sent from the openoffice - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
