Document Editor provides support for protecting the document with FormFieldsOnly
protection. In this protection, user can only fill form fields in the document.
Document editor provides an option to protect and unprotect document using enforceProtection
and stopProtection
API.
The following example code illustrates how to enforce and stop protection in Document editor container.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-documenteditorcontainer ref='container' :serviceUrl='serviceUrl' height="590px" id='container' :enableToolbar='true'></ejs-documenteditorcontainer>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DocumentEditorContainerPlugin, DocumentEditorContainerComponent,Toolbar} from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorContainerPlugin);
export default {
data() {
return { serviceUrl:'https://ej2services.syncfusion.com/production/web-services/api/documenteditor/'};
},
provide: {
//Inject require modules.
DocumentEditorContainer: [Toolbar]
},
mounted(){
//enforce protection
this.$refs.container.ej2Instances.documentEditor.editor.enforceProtection('123','FormFieldsOnly');
//stop the document protection
this.$refs.container.ej2Instances.documentEditor.editor.stopProtection('123');
}
}
</script>
Note: In enforce Protection method, first parameter denotes password and second parameter denotes protection type. Possible values of protection type are NoProtection |ReadOnly |FormFieldsOnly
. In stop protection method, parameter denotes the password.
