Set password for output document

On this page

GroupDocs.Comparison allows you to protect output document with password.

To protect output document, follow these steps:

  1. Instantiate the Comparer object. Specify the source document path or stream.
  2. Call the add() method. Specify the target document path or stream.
  3. Instantiate the CompareOptions object. Call the setPasswordSaveOption() method and specify the PasswordSaveOption.USER value.
  4. Instantiate the SaveOptions object. Call the setPassword() property to specify a password string.
  5. Call the compare() method. Specify the SaveOptions and CompareOptions objects as parameters.

The following code snippet shows how to compare documents and protect the output document with password:

import com.groupdocs.comparison.Comparer;
import com.groupdocs.comparison.options.CompareOptions;
import com.groupdocs.comparison.options.enums.PasswordSaveOption;
import com.groupdocs.comparison.options.save.SaveOptions;
import java.nio.file.Path;
// ...


try (Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.docx")) {
    comparer.add("target.docx");

    CompareOptions compareOptions = new CompareOptions();
    compareOptions.setPasswordSaveOption(PasswordSaveOption.USER);
    SaveOptions saveOptions = new SaveOptions();
    saveOptions.setPassword("3333");
    final Path resultPath = comparer.compare("result.docx", saveOptions, compareOptions);
}
