Description
There are two levels of password protection that can be set for PDF files – one for opening the PDF file (also known as the document open password), and one for making changes or modifying the PDF file (also called the permissions, or change, password).
This method allows you to specify these passwords. PDF password protection is only applies if PDF security is enabled. This is done through the PDFSetSecurity method.
To set only a single security option use the SetProperty call with the appropriate arguments. See the Remarks below for a list of arguments.
