Examples

Shows how to protect a document with a password.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.writeln('Hello world! This document is protected.')
# Enter a password up to 15 characters in length, and then verify the document's protection status.
doc.write_protection.set_password('MyPassword')
doc.write_protection.read_only_recommended = True
self.assertTrue(doc.write_protection.is_write_protected)
self.assertTrue(doc.write_protection.validate_password('MyPassword'))
# Protection does not prevent the document from being edited programmatically, nor does it encrypt the contents.
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Document.WriteProtection.docx')
doc = aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Document.WriteProtection.docx')
self.assertTrue(doc.write_protection.is_write_protected)
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.move_to_document_end()
builder.writeln('Writing text in a protected document.')
self.assertEqual('Hello world! This document is protected.' + '\rWriting text in a protected document.', doc.get_text().strip())
