Check Document Password Protection Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Merger for Python via .NET lets you check whether a document has an open password set. The is_password_set() method on the Merger instance returns True if the document requires a password to open, or False otherwise.

1. Open the document with Merger. If the document is already password-protected, supply the password via LoadOptions; otherwise omit it.
2. Call merger.is_password_set() and inspect the return value.

from groupdocs.merger import Merger
from groupdocs.merger.domain.options import LoadOptions

def check_document_password_protection():
    # Provide the current password so the protected document can be opened
    load_options = LoadOptions(password="p@ss")
    # Load the password-protected document
    with Merger("./protected.pdf", load_options) as merger:
        # Returns True if the document has an open password set
        protected = merger.is_password_set()
        print("Is password set:", protected)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    check_document_password_protection()

Is password set: True

Note

is_password_set() is a method on the Merger instance, not a property of the document information object returned by get_document_info().

• Supply Load Password: LoadOptions(password="p@ss") allows Merger to open the encrypted document. Without this, opening a protected document raises IncorrectPasswordException.
• Load Document: The Merger context manager opens the document using the provided credentials.
• Check Protection: merger.is_password_set() interrogates the loaded document and returns True if an open password is present, False if the document is unprotected.

Refer to the GroupDocs.Merger API Reference for more details on is_password_set() and LoadOptions.

• Add document password
