Hi,

Is it possible to check if a document is protected using Windows Rights Management?

Hi

Thanks for your request. Using Aspose.Words you can check whether document is protected in MS Word, Please see the following link for more information:

In addition, you can check whether a document is write-protected:

Hi,

The attached document is protected by Windows Rights Management (I can’t even read it, since I have my credentials are not valid).

When checking the ProtectionType property of the Aspose document I get AllowOnlyComments.
In theory that means that I can read the file and even add/modify comments on it, but that’s not the case.

Best regards,
Joao

Hi

Thanks for your request. Aspose.Words does not provide API to work with Windows Right Management properties. We will consider adding such API in one of future versions. You will be notified as soon as the issue is resolved.

Best regards.
