Control Script: Securing PDF attachments
The Print context can be attached to an email in the form of a PDF file and secured with a
password. This can be done without a Control Script, see "Email attachments" on page819
and "Email PDF password" on page323.
With a Control Script, you can do the same, and more: the attachment can be split into multiple
attachments (see Parts). Each attachment may have a different (or no) set of passwords, so you
could mix secured and unsecured attachments in a single email. This topic shows how.
For information about Control Scripts in general, see "Control Scripts" on page532 and
"Control Script API" on page782. If you don't know how to write scripts, see "Writing your own
scripts" on page515.
Setting passwords in script
To set a password on a Print section in a Control Script, the script should first retrieve the Print
section/s using merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections or merge.context.sections (also
see the example below).
Next, the script can split the attachments, if needed (see "Parts: splitting and renaming email
attachments" on page537), and it can set a password on each section. For example:
l
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section 2'].password =
'secret';
l
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section
2'].ownerPassword = 'secret';
When producing a single attachment, the password(s) should be set on the first Print section.
When producing multiple attachments, it should be set on the first section of each part.
Password types
PDF allows for two types of passwords to be set on a secured PDF file: a user password and
owner password. The user password allows a limited access to the file (e.g. printing or copying
text from the PDF is not allowed). The owner password allows normal access to the file. The
Email PDF password script sets both the user and owner password to the same value, so that
when the recipient provides the password, he can manipulate the file without limitations.
