Hello,

I am a sysadmin and our company uses PDFCreator extensively. The only thing that it appeared to be lacking are the PDF settings for password protection and user restrictions. However recently I have realized that this functionality is in fact available in COM, just no user interface for it.

I know enough VB6 to make this interface myself, but I would like to know how do those options work? I mean when and in what context should they be set in order to allow one to produce PDF documents with restrictions / passwords / etc? Will it work if I create a seperate interface to set these settings but use the PDFCreator printer to create the documents (same computer, but independently applicationwise). I am talking about the options "PDFOwnerPass" and "PDFDisallowCopy", for example, available from PDFCreator's COM interface.

Any answer or link to documentation would be most welcome. Thank you in advance.
