Enabling encryption, e-mail, view, print, and watermark PDF Options

Top Previous Next

You can create a DWORD value in the registry at any of the standard registry locations to control actions to be taken after the document is created. The value is named "file options", and its value can be a combination of the following values:

Action	value
Send email	0x01
View PDF	0x02
Send to palm	0x04
Set 40 bit encryption	0x08	(Win2PDF Pro)
Set 128 bit encryption	0x10	(Win2PDF Pro)
Enable URL detection	0x20
Delete email	0x40
Print PDF	0x80
Apply foreground watermark	0x200	(Win2PDF Pro)
Send email - no user interaction	0x400	(requires Win2PDF Mail Helper application)
Apply background watermark	0x800	(Win2PDF Pro)

The values can be added together, so if you wanted to send e-mail, enable URL detection, and delete the file after sending you would set "file options" to 0x61 hexadecimal. The 40 and 128 bit encryption options are only valid for Win2PDF Pro. All values are deleted after each document is created unless the "persistent" registry value is set.
