"Content copying for Accessibility" option is not present in PdfPermissions

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi,

I noticed that there is no ability to set “Content copying for Accessibility” permission when converting spreadsheet to PDF. Is it intentionally?

Aspose.Words.dll has PdfPermissions.ContentCopyForAccessibility.

Thanks.

@licenses,

I think you may try PdfSaveOption.SecurityOptions.ExtractContentPermission Boolean attribute for your needs, see the following sample code:
e.g
Sample code:

.............
  PdfSaveOptions saveOption = new PdfSaveOptions();
  saveOption.SecurityOptions = new Aspose.Cells.Rendering.PdfSecurity.PdfSecurityOptions();
  // Disabling copying/extracting contents permission.
  saveOption.SecurityOptions.ExtractContentPermission = false;
  workbook.Save("e:\\test\\out1.pdf", saveOption);

See the document for your reference:

Let us know if you need something else, we will check it out as we have already logged a ticket for it.

Hi

Thanks for the suggested workaround.

That is exactly what I use currently while there is no “ContentCopyForAccessibility” option in Aspose.Excel. But this approach has a performance overhead, so I look forward to getting the same functionality in Aspose.Cells.

Thanks.

@licenses,

Please try our latest version/fix: Aspose.Cells for .NET v18.7.1:
Aspose.Cells for .NET v18.7.1 (.NET 2.0)
Aspose.Cells for .NET v18.7.1 (.NET 4.0)

We added a new API: AccessibilityExtractContent in PdfSecurityOptions class.

Sample code:

    Workbook wb = new Workbook(srcFile); 

    PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOpt = new PdfSaveOptions(); 
    PdfSecurityOptions securityOptions = new PdfSecurityOptions(); 
    securityOptions.AccessibilityExtractContent = true; 
    pdfSaveOpt.SecurityOptions = securityOptions; 

    wb.Save(outFile.pdf, pdfSaveOpt);

Let us know your feedback.
