Hi !

I want to ad a security for the PDF I creat with my Export script.

You can open the PDF, print it, put no edit it with InDesign or Illustrator etc...

Can you help me please ?

Hi, now it's different, I want to put this same option but, only when the computeur is not connected to my serveur.

So, when you are in the serveur, you can do what you want with the PDF, ans when you're not, you can juste open, copy and print it.

It's urgent, help me please

Thank you

That's my actual code :

app.activeDocument.dataMergeProperties.mergeRecords();    

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;   

main();   

function main(){   

exportPDF();   

} 

function exportPDF(){ 

var myPageName, myFilePath, myFile;  

var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[Qualité supérieure]"); 

for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length; myCounter++){    

myPageName = myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name;  

app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = myPageName;  

var myRegExp = /:/gi; 

myPageName = myPageName.replace(myRegExp, "_");   

myFilePath = "//TE-srv/hrx/02_JUY_CDSC" + "/" + extractPAFname(myCounter) + ".pdf";   

myFile = new File(myFilePath);   

if(!myFile.exists){ 

myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, myPDFExportPreset); 

}else{ 

var mConfirm= confirm ('Le document ' + extractPAFname(myCounter) + ' existe déjà, voulez-vous le remplacer ?', 'Document existant'); 

if (mConfirm){ 

myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, myPDFExportPreset); 

} 

     } 

          }  

               } 

function extractPAFname(AllPages){ 

var myStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.itemByName('nom_fichier');    

if (myStyle.isValid){ 

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;  

app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myStyle;

var mySearch = myDocument.findGrep(); 

if (mySearch.length >0){  

return mySearch[AllPages].contents  

}else { 

alert('Erreur - Pas de texte'); 

exit();    

}    

}else { 

alert('Erreur - Pas de style'); 

exit(); 

}  

     }

So, when you are in the serveur, you can do what you want with the PDF, ans when you're not, you can juste open, copy and print it.

That's not how the PDF security options work. They are stored inside the file, and it does not matter where the file is stored.

I think I don't used the correct word sorry

It's not possible to protect the file when an user outside the network use it, if this user is not in the network, I can just open, copy and print it.

That's possible ?

Thank you
