  • java.lang.Object
    • com.aspose.words.ProtectionType
public class ProtectionType 
extends java.lang.Object

Utility class containing constants. Protection type for a document.

Example:

Shows how to protect a section so only editing in form fields is possible.
Document doc = new Document();

// Insert two sections with some text
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.writeln("Section 1. Unprotected.");
builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_CONTINUOUS);
builder.writeln("Section 2. Protected.");

// Section protection only works when document protection is turned and only editing in form fields is allowed
doc.protect(ProtectionType.ALLOW_ONLY_FORM_FIELDS);

// By default, all sections are protected, but we can selectively turn protection off
doc.getSections().get(0).setProtectedForForms(false);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Section.Protect.docx");
