Silent Pasword

[manmoncang]

I know all here sure can solve this.

I have a pdf file which have a password.

Now i want anybody open that file using my GUI program develepod using autoit without they need to enter password and user did not know the password.

It's mean autoit enter password in silent way. User will not see the password has entered by autoit. ( i mean all the way at the back)

But if user open pdf file directly without using my GUI, they fail open the pdf file because it have a password.

I try use

$PDF_loc = FileGetShortName($filepdf); your file name/location

Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $PDF_loc, "", @SW_HIDE)

But the problem is, my start menu stay appear then the PDF program has not activate.

It's important to me to protect my file from duplicated by user.

My GUI use hard disk serial number so that only certain PC can open that file.

Hopefully all briliant people here can help me.

Sorry i disturbing your time. Tq very2 much.

You should figure out if your pdf reader has a commandline option for passing in the password. Or, if your pdf reader can be automated through COM or dllcall.

EX: in a cmd (command) box cd to the folder where you have acroread and type acroread /?

I did this with foxitreader but no option for a password

Obviously you could use send("keys to enter pwd") but it would be to easy for others to figure out you pwd. Passing it as a comandline is not wery secure either!

$winTitle and $winText whould work with English version of Adobe Reader 7 but might need changed for other versions.

Opt("WinWaitDelay", 10)

$filepdf = "C:\exampleProtectedFile.pdf"
Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & FileGetShortName($filepdf), "", @SW_HIDE)

;Look for the password popup window
$winTitle = "Password"
$winText = "Please enter a Document Open Password."

WinWait($winTitle, $winText, 5);five second timeout so that script doesn't hang....
If @error Then Exit
    
ControlSetText($winTitle,"","Edit1","password")
ControlClick($winTitle, $winText,"OK")
