Hello All,

I have created a program in which I need to insert the company logo in the title (header) and also password protect the file.

When I run the program will no password option the ODS PDF generates the pdf file without any errors or issue in the pdf file. When I set the password in the program. the pdf file is generated and there are no errors or warnings in the log, but the pdf file do not contain the logo and the pdf reader shows error there is something wrong with the file please contact the person who created it.

This is the code which I'm using to create the header: (this is working fine)

options nodate nonumber orientation=portrait papersize=A4 ;
ods escapechar="^";

ods pdf file="&path\&fname" style=journal notoc startpage=no ;

title j=l f='Times New Roman' height=10pt "Sponsor: &sponsor";
title2 j=l f='Times New Roman' height=10pt "Project No.: &proj " j=c "Version No.: &ver" j=r '^S={preimage="&logo"}';

if i add password options (below code) then this code will run without errors but no image is inserted in the pdf.

options nodate nonumber orientation=portrait papersize=A4 pdfsecurity=high pdfpassword=(open="Awesomepassword");

Please help.

Your code works fine for me. Tested. The both SAS viewer screen, and pdf file opening after entering the password.

options nodate nonumber orientation=portrait papersize=A4 pdfsecurity=high pdfpassword=(open="Awesomepassword");
ods escapechar="^";
ods pdf file="C:\Users\Desktop\test\test.pdf" style=journal notoc startpage=no ;
	title j=l f='Times New Roman' height=10pt "Sponsor:";
	title2 j=l f='Times New Roman' height=10pt "Project No.:" j=c "Version No.: " j=r '^S={preimage="C:\Users\Desktop\test\logo.png"}';
	proc print data=sashelp.class; run;

ods pdf close;

Result:

Hello A_Kh,

The issue is not of password protection, the file is opening but the logo is not inserted if set password in the program.

Is logo is inserted into your pdf after adding password options in the program? or any errors by pdf viewer is shown?

Yes, the logo does get inserted in password protected file as well.
The log is clean, pdf file opens without issue after entering the psswd.

Could it be smth to do with your PDF Viewer setting? I'm not good at it.
The logo I'm using is 3KB .png file.
