please help

Hi Andy,

Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? ReportBuilder has supported encrypted PDF exports for quite some time.

Is ReportBuilder 20.04

There is no problem in exporting to encrypted PDF.
But the password entered when opening the PDF is incorrect.

ppReport_201709_PDF.DeviceType:='PDF';
with ppReport_201709_PDF.PDFSettings do begin
Author:='test';
Title:='test';
end;
with ppReport_201709_PDF.PDFSettings.EncryptSettings do begin
Enabled:=True;
UserPassword := 'test';
end;
ppReport_201709_PDF.TextFileName:='test.PDF';
ppReport_201709_PDF.Print;

Since there is no example of encrypted PDF in the demo provided, can it be provided as a reference?

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the information. In my tests, encryption is working correctly with code similar to yours and I am able to successfully open a password protected PDF. Below is the code I used to test. If you are still unable to get this working, please create a simple example and send it to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at what is happening.

uses
  ppTypes;

procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ppReport1.DeviceType := dtPDF;
  ppReport1.OpenFile := True;
  ppReport1.AllowPrintToFile := True;
  ppReport1.ShowPrintDialog := False;
  ppReport1.TextFileName := 'Test.pdf';

  ppReport1.PDFSettings.Author := 'Test';
  ppReport1.PDFSettings.Title := 'Test';

  ppReport1.PDFSettings.EncryptSettings.UserPassword := 'Test';
  ppReport1.PDFSettings.EncryptSettings.Enabled := True;

  ppReport1.Print;

end;

The situation remains the same, PDF cannot be opened with the correct password.
The project file has been sent to support@digital-metaphors.com

andydai

Has been tested in the following environment.
Exported PDF cannot be opened by correct password.

Delphi 10.4.1 & RB 20.04
Delphi 10.4 & RB 18.01
Delphi XE & RB 20.04

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the example and information. This issue appears to only occur when the Windows regional locale is set to a non-latin value. It likely has to do with the changed ANSI code page being used in that case.

We will research this further and report back here once a solution is found.

This issue will be fixed for the next version of ReportBuilder. Registered users can contact support@ for a temporary work-around.

Note that this issue only affects certain regional locales.
