Hide Page Piece Dictionary from user
« on: March 27, 2018, 10:29:10 AM »
I want to use the “Page Piece Dictionary” and the PDF index to store documents in CMOD.  But, if the user saves the retrieved PDF from CMOD to their desktop, and then opens that PDF with a text editor, the Index elements of the Page Piece Dictionary are now visible to the user.   Is there a way to hide / encrypt / lock down the “Page Piece Dictionary” so that CMOD can still use it, but the user cannot access it?

hide the data below from the user....

PieceInfo <</IBM-ODIndexes <</Private
                                <</DocId(AAA)
                                 /BankNumber(0000000001)
                                 /AcctNumber(00000000000111111111)
                                 /NoticeType(W)
                                 /StmtDate(20120507)
                                >>
                               /LastModified(D:20120619000000Z)
                        >>
                >>

Thanks

Hey Ed.

No, this is the custom PDF Index used by CMOD's PDF indexer. 

My question for Douglas is...  Isn't this information already contained elsewhere in the document?  That is, the index information in the PPD that you're concerned about disclosing...  Isn't it already found elsewhere inside the document?

Otherwise, you might want to add an enhancement request that would permit obscuring (with compression) or encrypting this info -- whatever meets the requirements of your use case.

Some of the data found in the PPD is found on the document, but some is not...
