Hi all -
I'd like to use javascript to "hide" my Livecycle Designer form on open if a password for the pdf is NOT present. (If someone strips the password, at least I can make it more annoying for them.)
I understand that if javascript is not enabled on the end-user side, the PDF will still be visible. But that's ok. The PDF is javascript heavy and only useable if javascript is active.
I've had some success, I think (lol), with "securityHandler".
If I add a password in LCD to the form and then open it with Acrobat, I can use the Console window and type:
this.securityHandler
The return is "Standard".
If no password is added in LCD to the form and then I open it with Acrobat, using Console window and typing:
this.securityHandler
The return is "null".
So we have two different values we could use to establish whether or not a password is on the PDF.
But I think I'm getting caught up when trying to write the code to reference the securityHandler value. Documentation seems to indicate that securityHandler is in both Acrobat and LCD.
Something like:
var a = this.securityHandler;
if (a == "Standard"){
xfa.host.messageBox("There is a password of some type on this PDF");
}
if (a == null){
xfa.host.messageBox("No password on this PDF.")
}
Any ideas? I know this is just a bump to someone who's taken the time to strip the password using 3party software but why not make it a little more confusing for them, right?
Thanks!!!
Brian
