Freddie360 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Is it possible to apply a password to a AP file, I looked around the program but could find nothing, am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 From within the Affinity applications this is not possible - even setting a password on PDF export is ATM not possible. You have to use other tools to lock your files.

carl123 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Do you want to password protect it so someone cannot change the contents without the password or do you want to password protect it so someone cannot view the contents without the password Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Freddie360 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 I could use the 'Get Info' but have not always found this unsatisfactory, I wanted to set a password on the file to prevent others from viewing the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 If sending a file to someone, use something like Winzip to zip the file with encryption then only someone with the password will be able to extract & view it Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Freddie360 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 This file is sensitive only for me, it will sit on my computer (plus backups) and I just want to be able to password protect it. I can find a third party work-around, I just wondered if it was available at the point of saving in AP. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this is not possible within AP - only by third-party solutions Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
