Password-protected documents Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Parser provides the functionality to open the password-protected documents.
Here are the steps to work with password protected documents.
- Instantiate the LoadOptions object and pass the password in LoadOptions(String) constructor;
- Create Parser object and call any method.
The following code sample shows how to process password protected documents.
try
{
// Create an instance of Parser class with the password:
using (Parser parser = new Parser(filePath, new LoadOptions(password)))
{
// Check if text extraction is supported
if (!parser.Features.Text)
{
Console.WriteLine("Text extraction isn't supported.");
return;
}
// Print the document text
using (TextReader reader = parser.GetText())
{
Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
}
}
}
catch (InvalidPasswordException)
{
// Print the message if the password is incorrect or empty
Console.WriteLine("Invalid password");
}
If the password is incorrect or empty InvalidPasswordException exception is thrown.
The following code shows how to check whether a file is password-protected:
// Get a file info
Options.FileInfo info = Parser.GetFileInfo(document);
// Check IsEncrypted property
Console.WriteLine(info.IsEncrypted ? "Password is required" : "");
