I have an important document which I want to make it be read-only. Can Spire.Doc support it?

Thank you for your inquiry!
You can realize it through Encrypt method with the following code: document.Encrypt("your password");

Hi. Encrypt is NOT read only. Encrypt puts a password on the document that prevents anyone from opening it without the password. Is there any way to make it READ-ONLY, so that the document is not editable at all, but still viewable without a password?

Dear danielzborovski,
Thanks for your inquiry.
You can use Protect() Method to do so.
Code: Select all
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.AllowOnlyFormFields);

Hello Charan,

Thanks for your inquiry.
It is infeasible to make a certain "page" read only, because our Spire.DOC is based on MS Word, the Word document is a flow document and does not contain any information about its layout into pages. But, our Spire.DOC supports making the specified content read only while creating document. Please refer to the following sample code to achieve it, if there is any question, just feel free to write back.
Code: Select all
Document doc = new Document();
Section section = doc.AddSection();
Paragraph para1 = section.AddParagraph();
//add  permission start
para1.ChildObjects.Insert(0, new PermissionStart(doc, "myPermission"));
para1.AppendText("this is para1.");
//add  permission end
para1.ChildObjects.Add(new PermissionEnd(doc, "myPermission"));
//set document other parts to be readonly
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.AllowOnlyReading, "123");
Paragraph para2 = section.AddParagraph();
para2.AppendText("this is para2.");
Paragraph para3 = section.AddParagraph();
para3.AppendText("this is para3.");
doc.SaveToFile("result.docx");

Sincerely,
Lisa
