Write protect PDF file rendered from Reporting Services

[balor]

Hi!

Reporting Services do not support write protecting or password protecting rendered PDF files.

How can I do it after the render? We render the document in our desktop application so we have full control over it. We have also developed a merge method to merge several pdf documents to a single document so we are already working with the source code of the document.

Does anyone have a solution for password protecting or write protecting a PDF file with .net code or a free third party tool writen i managed .net code?

Do you have access to Adobe Acrobat or another PDF writing tool?

If so, you might be able to open up the .PDF in that utility and password protect it from there. Other than that, I don't think RS 2000 has password protection capability.

Don't know what kind of capabilities concerning .PDFs RS 2005 might have. I haven't had a chance to play with that tool yet. It is supposed to be MUCH better than the 2000 tool, though. And you can use 2005 RS with SQL Server 2000! Cool, huh? @=)
