PDFX Email Password Encryption

Scroll Prev Top Next More

PDFX Email password encryption refinement: In some cases, encrypted passwords end up with a LF character in the middle, which interferes with the processing of the //PDFX,Email.SMTP.Password directive in the print file. The workaround is to use this alternate format (previously supported only by EMAILX.SBX and now supported by PDFX as well):

//PDFX,Email.SMTP.Password,#,#,#,#,#,...#

where each # is a decimal value representing one byte of the encrypted password.

This format is immune to problems with control characters.

As part of the same fix, mode 1 encryption is now supported (previously only mode 2 encryption was supported). See MX_PWCRYPT for details.
