Hi Mohammed,

i have gone throught this link already.

It's on Windows NT OS, i want the password production based HP-Unix, as our compay SAP is running on HP-UX platform.

cmd /c ENCRYPTPDF is only working with Windows NT.

How to encrypt in HP-UX OS

Awaiting for experts valuable inputs.

Thank you.

For Unix there is another tool but the methodology is the same to execute a shell command.

You will need an external encryption .

Hi Mohammed,

Thanks for the link, can you send some other link which could provide me more details in step by step.

It is the same way using FM 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'

In ABAP it does not matter what is the OS in background

The command that you are going to send differs on the basis of the OS.

So send the command mentioned in the link to the FM.

But also that pdftk should exists on you HP Unix server.

Hi Mohammed,

We have installed the tool pdftk in our server and using the command "/usr/local/bin/pdftk" i had used the FM "'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'" the path which i have used in the FM is

   "CONCATENATE '$ pdftk' Doc'.pdf output' Doc'.128.pdf owner_pw' Pass ' user_pw' Pass INTO v_dir_input".

Now my doubt is whether to download the PDF file in windows or AL11 (sap directory). If i want to download PDF file, in which path do i want to download in AL11 / Windows.

your server is unix so even the file will be on unix server only I suppose....

The file should be downloaded any place you can pass the path with filename to the pdftk in the filename for processing.

Hi mohammad,

the file downloaded iam using this path = ( /usr/sap/KED/SYS/global/file.pdf ) in sap directories and i had used the FM 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'  i passing the full parameter   ( pdftk path(file.pdf) output path(file.128.pdf) owner_pw  Pass 'user_pw Pass )  after FM executing i getting error.
