Examples

Shows how to use document properties to display the security level of a document.

Document doc = new Document();

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.None, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);

// If we configure a document to be read-only, it will display this status using the "Security" built-in property.
doc.WriteProtection.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyRecommended.docx");

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyRecommended, 
    new Document(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyRecommended.docx").BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);

// Write-protect a document, and then verify its security level.
doc = new Document();

Assert.False(doc.WriteProtection.IsWriteProtected);

doc.WriteProtection.SetPassword("MyPassword");

Assert.True(doc.WriteProtection.ValidatePassword("MyPassword"));
Assert.True(doc.WriteProtection.IsWriteProtected);

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyEnforced.docx");

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyEnforced,
    new Document(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyEnforced.docx").BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);

// "Security" is a descriptive property. We can edit its value manually.
doc = new Document();

doc.Protect(ProtectionType.AllowOnlyComments, "MyPassword");
doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security = DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations;
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations.docx");

Assert.AreEqual(DocumentSecurity.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations,
    new Document(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentProperties.Security.ReadOnlyExceptAnnotations.docx").BuiltInDocumentProperties.Security);
