Scenario: I use Slides to identify whether file is 1) encrypted; 2) write protected.


Issue:
  • Write protected POT/PPT. ProtectionManager.IsWriteProtected returns false. Valid value is returned for Office 2010 formats (PPTM…).
  • Encrypted POT/PPT. ProtectionManager.IsEncrypted return false.

Have not tested on PPS.

Sample files attached.

Password to opne/modify: “1” w/o quots.

Is there any movement?


Update based on Aspose.Slides 17.4

  1. Legacy formats with write-protection (ppt, pps).
  • ProtectionManager.IsWriteProtected returns FALSE. TRUE is expected.
  • ProtectionManager.IsEncrypted returns TRUE. FALSE is expected.
  • Legacy formats with both kinds of protection: open and write.
    • ProtectionManager.IsWriteProtected returns FALSE.

    It seems that the following issue from the initial post has been fixed as I cannot replicate it: Encrypted POT/PPT. ProtectionManager.IsEncrypted return false.


    Thanks,
