Xerox manual VIPO-54

If you choose not to set any passwords in Acrobat Distiller but define an Owner/Master password in the VIPO Configuration file, VIPO will still transfer this password to all files generated during the split process. This means that while the original file may not have an Owner/Master password set, all the split files generated will. However, in order to transfer the Owner/Master password, the original PDF file must have at least one of the other security options set. If a parent PDF file has no security restrictions defined, no password will be transferred to any generated split files.

To inform VIPO to use a User and/or Owner Password when processing PDF files, the following entries must be defined in the VIPO Configuration file (C:\WINNT\xvtp.ini for Windows 2000, or C:\Windows\xvtp.ini for Windows XP):

## User/Open Password Entry Example ## pdf_user_password=ExampleOfUserOpenPwd

## Owner/Master Password Entry Example ## pdf_owner_password=ExampleOfOwnerMasterPwd

VIPO will not use the password when processing PDF files if an entry is:

•left blank

•commented out (by using # character)

•completely removed

The password string(s) defined above must exactly match the corresponding password(s) set for Acrobat Distiller, if any. These password strings can contain any printable ASCII characters except for blank spaces. Currently, encryption/decryption of passwords is not supported in VIPO.
