Re: Secure existing PDF with a password.

you can secure PDF in RPG directly on the IBM i using PDF Mapping Programs (see Redbook Printing VII)

and some info here : https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1012302

Before I try to re-invent the wheel here, I figured I'd ask the group if
anyone has done this before.

I have a few existing PDF files that are emailed out on a regular basis. I
would like to be able to password protect those files before they go out,
but as far as I can tell the CPYSPLF and OVRPRTF commands don't have an
option for a password. So has anyone here used something like iText to
secure an already existing PDF?

Now one option I do have is to zip the PDF into a zip file as our zip
command does have a password. But, I figured I'd see if I could password
protect the PDF itself.

I'm asking my RPG colleagues as I'm guessing some of them have used iText
to do this already.
