Description:
This step encrypts and secures a PDF.
Inputs
- inputFilePath - Input File Path
- userPassword - User password
- ownerPassword - Owner password
- encryptionType - Use any one of these encryption types - AESx128, AESx192, AESx256
- outputFilePath – Output file path
- pdfVirtualPath – PDF Virtual file path
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
- Error - step execution error
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “pdfEncryptSecureDef” example.
- Create a new process definition named “pdfEncryptSecureDef” and open it in Designer mode.
- Drag the “pdfEncryptSecure” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” step and “pdfEncryptSecure” steps, as shown above.
- Define a variable or a global to store the file path.
- Click the "pdfEncryptSecure" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide the source file path on the application server. Provide the user and owner passwords. Select one of the encryption types (AESx128, AESx192, AESx256). Provide variable references to hold the Output and Virtual PDF file paths. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have Copilot add new process steps that match your process description.
- The “Logging” configuration setting is necessary for documentation and for tracking workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. Click the “pdfEncryptSecure” process step to view its properties. The step creates a copy of the PDF with encryption and security features using a security algorithm and passwords. Copy and paste the “pdfVirtualPath” variable value into a browser window to view the secured PDF file.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link provided and later import them (drag-and-drop) into your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
Note: Please verify and complete any missing configuration steps after import, including file path references and database connections. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
