Initially introduced in TX Text Control 10.0, PDF export quickly established itself as an essential feature in many TX Text Control based applications. For the first time, developers could offer PDF export directly from their program code, without the unnecessary inconvenience of third party plugins and printer drivers.
TX Text Control 11.0 introduces several parameters that define what can and what cannot be done with a PDF document.
TX Text Control now supports Adobe's Password Security settings.
Setting PDF Permissions
From program code, the dialog box to the right (shown here in two states) can be created to allow end-users maximum control over their documents.
End-users can limit access to their PDF files by giving the files passwords and restricting certain features such as printing and editing. When files have restricted features, any tools and menu items related to those features are dimmed in Adobe Reader and most other PDF reading applications.
End-users can specify whether they wish to allow printing of their document and whether the document may be printed in high or low resolution. Similarly, end-users can establish restrictions concerning editing rights of their documents. Editing rights of PDF documents can be set to:
- Insert, deleting and rotating pages
- Filling in form fields and signing
- Commenting, filling in form fields and signing
- Allow all changes, except page extraction
Furthermore, end-users can prohibit the copying of text, images and any other content and whether text access for screen readers should be permitted.
