Document protection and StructureDocumentTag

[arne.weber@webtelligence.net]

Hello Support team,

Please see the document attached. We have two problems generating a document like that and I want to ask how to achieve that with Spire.Doc
1. Protection Level:
The closest I can get to the behavior getting by Word is using AllowOnlyFormFields
Then I can Edit the Content of the RichtText Field but can#t use any formatting functions and format templates from the ribbon. This works using the attached (Word generated) file

Even if I take this (attached) document, Load and Save it the Protection Level seems to change as I lose the editing and formatting ability completely

Code: Select all

Document document = new Document();
document.LoadFromFile(sourceFile);

document.SaveToFile(filename, FileFormat.Docx);


2. How can I a new added StructureDocumentTag get to the editable (not locked) mode like the one in the sample. If I do something like

Code: Select all

var newsdt = new Spire.Doc.Documents.StructureDocumentTag(document);

            newsdt.SDTProperties.Alias = "Test2";
            newsdt.SDTProperties.Tag = "Test2_Tag";
            //newsdt.SDTProperties.IsShowingPlaceHolder = true;
            newsdt.SDTProperties.SDTType = SdtType.RichText;
           

            var sdtpa = newsdt.SDTContent.AddParagraph();

            sdtpa.Text = "Das ist der Inhalt des neuen Paragraphs";
           
            document.Sections[0].Paragraphs.Add(sdtpa);


I can’t find a Property where to set the protection of the Richtext field

Best regards

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
After an investigation, we found that the partial editing restriction was not supported by Spire.Doc at present. This is the cause of your two issues. Anyway, I have added this new feature into our schedule and once there's any update, I will let you know.

Sincerely,

Dear Arne,

How are you?
Glad to inform that the partial protection feature is available now. Please download the hotfix Spire.Doc Pack(hot fix) Version:7.1.19 and refer to the code below to add an editable rich text control in a read only document.

Code: Select all

//create a  Document
Document document = new Document();
Section section = document.AddSection();
section.AddParagraph().AppendText("This text is readonly. ");
section.AddParagraph();
Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();

//add partial permission start
paragraph.ChildObjects.Insert(0, new PermissionStart(document, "myPermission"));

//add the editable content
StructureDocumentTagInline newsdt = new StructureDocumentTagInline(document);
paragraph.ChildObjects.Add(newsdt);

newsdt.SDTProperties.Tag = "Test2_Tag";
newsdt.SDTProperties.Alias = "Test2";
newsdt.SDTProperties.SDTType = SdtType.RichText;
TextRange rt = new TextRange(document);
rt.Text = "Das ist der Inhalt des neuen Paragraphs.";
newsdt.SDTContent.ChildObjects.Add(rt);

//permission end
paragraph.ChildObjects.Add(new PermissionEnd(document, "myPermission"));

//set document other parts to be readonly
document.Protect(ProtectionType.AllowOnlyReading, "e-iceblue");

document.SaveToFile("PartialProtect.docx");
