PdfAccessPermissions enumeration

PdfAccessPermissions enumeration

Contains a set of flags specifying which access permissions should be granted when the document is opened with user access.

The PdfAccessPermissions type exposes the following members:

Fields

FieldDescription
NONESpecifies that a user does not have access permissions.
PRINT_DOCUMENTSpecifies whether a user may print the document (possibly not at the highest quality level, depending on
whether bit PdfAccessPermissions.HIGH_QUALITY_PRINT is also set).
MODIFY_CONTENTSpecifies whether a user may modify the contents of the document by operations other than those controlled
by bits PdfAccessPermissions.ADD_OR_MODIFY_FIELDS, PdfAccessPermissions.FILL_EXISTING_FIELDS, PdfAccessPermissions.ASSEMBLE_DOCUMENT.
COPY_TEXT_AND_GRAPHICSSpecifies whether a user may copy or otherwise extract text and graphics from the document by operations
other than that controlled by bit PdfAccessPermissions.EXTRACT_TEXT_AND_GRAPHICS.
ADD_OR_MODIFY_FIELDSSpecifies whether a user may add or modify text annotations, fill in interactive form fields, and, if bit
PdfAccessPermissions.MODIFY_CONTENT is also set, create or modify interactive form fields (including signature
fields).
FILL_EXISTING_FIELDSSpecifies whether a user may fill in existing interactive form fields (including signature fields), even if
bit PdfAccessPermissions.ADD_OR_MODIFY_FIELDS is clear.
EXTRACT_TEXT_AND_GRAPHICSSpecifies whether a user may extract text and graphics in support of accessibility to users with disabilities
or for other purposes.
ASSEMBLE_DOCUMENTSpecifies whether a user may assemble the document (insert, rotate, or delete pages and create bookmarks or
thumbnail images), even if bit PdfAccessPermissions.MODIFY_CONTENT is clear.
HIGH_QUALITY_PRINTSpecifies whether a user may print the document to a representation from which a faithful digital copy of
the PDF content could be generated. When this bit is clear (and bit PdfAccessPermissions.PRINT_DOCUMENT is set),
printing is limited to a low-level representation of the appearance, possibly of degraded quality.
