How to check owner password using PXCp_CheckPassword

[docu-track99]

Hi,

I'm having problem using PXCp_CheckPassword function in VB.NET. Every time i use the function it returns a long numeric value. Sample code from your website https://help.pdf-xchange.com/DEV/de ... ckpassword says that return value should be 1 (for user password) or 2 (for owner password).

I attached a sample code and a pdf. The pdf password is "password".

Any help is appreciated.

The problem is with how you declare and use PXCp_CheckPassword function.
Correct declaration for VB.NET is:

Code: Select all

<DllImport("xcpro40")> Public Shared Function PXCp_CheckPassword(ByVal pObject As Integer, <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)> ByVal pPassword As String, ByVal PassLen As Integer) As Integer
End Function

Please note, there is also Unicode version of that function

Code: Select all

<DllImport("xcpro40")> Public Shared Function PXCp_CheckPasswordW(ByVal pObject As Integer, <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)> ByVal pPassword As String, ByVal PassLen As Integer) As Integer
End Function

Now, your CheckPassword will be a bit more simple:

Code: Select all

    Public Function CheckPDFPassword(ByVal sPassword As String) As Integer
		Dim pass_len As Integer
		pass_len = Len(sPassword)
		CheckPDFPassword = XCPro40_Defs.PXCp_CheckPassword(nSelectedDocument, sPassword, pass_len)
    End Function
