I'd like to automate the process of encrypting a PDF with a password and initiating a shared review on a webdav server.
 
I'd like to do this by creating a plugin or using JavaScript.
 
Is this possible?

Yes, both of these are possible, but both are different questions.

First, From Acrobat JavaScript you can apply a Security Policy to a PDF. You can't apply password encryption directly. Look in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for the "doc.encryptUsingPolicy()" function.


Initaiting a shared review is much more involved. Take a look at this document.

and this one

Thanks for the reply Thom.

I read through the online collaboration and tracker documentation, but they don't have information about completely automating the process of a shared review.

Online Collaboration did have a section of setting up Users with preset preferences for the WebDAV support, but only during installation.

Is there a way to automate the Shared Review in Acrobat 8.0?
