BullZip Home

I use bullzip to create protected PDF file from MS Access Report.
My settings :
- code is in VBA
- MS Access 2013
- Bullzip PDF printer 11.5

I am not able to set the desired security setting. I have no error and PDF is generated with password but when I check the security setting of the file they are not set as I wanted (for exemple for AllowCopy).

I tried several setting :
.SetValue "AllowCopy", IIf(bAllowCopy, "yes", "no")
.SetValue "AllowCopy", IIf(bAllowCopy, "true", "false")

I am not able to put AllowCopy setting to False

Do you have any idea ?

The complete code is :

Function PrintReportAsPDFwithBullZip(ByVal rptName As String, _
Optional sWhereCondition As String = "", _
Optional sDirectory As String = "", _
Optional sFileName As String = "", _
Optional sTitle As String = "", _
Optional sOwnerPassword As String, _
Optional sUserPassword As String, _
Optional bOpenViewer As Boolean = True, _
Optional bConfirmOverwrite As Boolean = True, _
Optional bAllowAssembly As Boolean = False, _
Optional bAllowCopy As Boolean = False, _
Optional bAllowModifyAnnotations As Boolean = False, _
Optional bAllowModifyContents As Boolean = False) _
As Boolean
