Protecting word processing documents Leave feedback
On this page
Beyond locking an individual watermark, you can protect the whole document. Watermarker.get_content() returns a WordProcessingContent with protect() and unprotect() methods.
The example sets read-only protection with a password.
from groupdocs.watermark import Watermarker
from groupdocs.watermark.options.word_processing import WordProcessingLoadOptions
from groupdocs.watermark.contents.word_processing import WordProcessingProtectionType
def protect_document():
with Watermarker("./document.docx", WordProcessingLoadOptions()) as watermarker:
content = watermarker.get_content()
content.protect(WordProcessingProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "p@ssw0rd")
watermarker.save("./output.docx")
if __name__ == "__main__":
protect_document()
