showPasswordDialog
Enable/disable the password dialog.
[read/write property]
showPasswordDialog([out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *show)
showPasswordDialog([in] VARIANT_BOOL show)
When an encrypted PDF file is opened (with
loadFile
, etc.),
XpdfViewer will display a password dialog, requesting the user to type
the password. This function can be used to disable that behavior.
The PDF loading functions (loadFile
, etc.) will instead throw an
error (errEncrypted
) whenever you attempt to load an
encrypted file. You can always open an encrypted file using
loadFileWithPassword
, etc., which will never display a password
dialog (assuming the correct password is provided).
VB:
viewer.showPasswordDialog = False
