CREATE ZIP FILE WITH PASSWORD

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have created with an ABAP program a PDF file in local filesystem that later I send it by email, that's working fine.

Now I need to protect the information in this file.

Is possible create a zip file (compressing the pdf) with password?

I've read different discussions in the forums but I don't know if it is possible yet, so if it is possible, how I should proceed to get a zip file password protected from a local pdf file.

Kind regards,

Julian.

Hi Julian,

Yes you can create a ZIP file by using the class CL_ABAP_ZIP. But you will not be able to set the password to the zip file.

Hope this helps.

Hi Julian,

You can create password to the PDF file itself.

For eg.,

If a company is sending payslips pdf to employees through email , every month automatically from SAP.Then the password can be set as employees Birthday.

You dont have to zip it as PDF is protected with password.

Thanks and regards,

Hello Bharathi,

how do you do this >> You can create password to the PDF file itself. <<

To create a zip-file is easy with class CL_ABAP_ZIP (lo_zip->add and   lo_zip->save), but I'm searching for a reason to protect the created zip - file with a password (like your example employee birthday).

Same issue with a workaround.
