Hi,
I'm totally new to Acrobat development and looking for ways to set document passwords from a .NET or a Windows application. Is there a way to do that? Can I use the ActiveX control? Is there sample code or API reference?
Thanks a lot.

Hi erovich

Have you found a way to do that with .NET? I'm also looking for way to set password programatically, even though I can do this with a batch process

Also, more importantly, I'm looking for a way to open a password protected pdf file without prompting for the password using .NET, if you know any info, please let me know, thanks a lot!

Regards
Jimmy

iTextSharp will allow you to programmatically set passwords on PDFs very easily.
Did you ever find a way to pass to the password to a PDF when opening it? I currently have this problem
