GetEncryptionFingerprintA

Document properties, Security and Signatures

Description

The trailing A denotes the ANSI (char) DLL entry point; the ActiveX/COM surface exposes only the Unicode form. Behaviour is identical to GetEncryptionFingerprint and string arguments are interpreted using the current SetAnsiMode code page

Returns all the encryption information for the selected document. This encryption "fingerprint" can be used to encrypt a different document using the EncryptWithFingerprint function. This allows a new document to be encrypted with the same passwords as an existing document without actually knowing these passwords.

Syntax

Delphi

Function DLGetEncryptionFingerprintA(InstanceID: Integer): PAnsiChar;

DLL

const char * DLGetEncryptionFingerprintA(int InstanceID);
