LoadOptions class

The LoadOptions class allows specifying additional options (such as password) when opening a document to sign.

Set the password attribute to the document password if the file is encrypted.

The LoadOptions type exposes the following members:

Constructors

Constructor Description
init Initializes a new instance of LoadOptions class.
init Initializes a new instance of the LoadOptions class with a specified file type.

Properties

Property Description
file_type The file type associated with the load options, defaulting to FileType.unknown.
load_external_resources The flag that determines whether the document loads external resources. This property is obsolete; use LoadOptions.SkipExternalResources instead, which has the opposite meaning.
password The password used to open a protected document and to save a signed document as protected.
permissions The PDF document permissions such as printing, modification and data extraction. Only for PDF documents.
skip_external_resources The flag that stops the document from loading external resources. The default value is True; external resources are not loaded except those that match LoadOptions.WhitelistedResources.
whitelisted_resources The list of address fragments of external resources that are loaded even when LoadOptions.SkipExternalResources is true. The default value is an empty list.

Example 

from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import LoadOptions

load_options = LoadOptions()
load_options.password = "1234567890"
with Signature("protected.pdf", load_options) as signature:
    info = signature.get_document_info()
    print(f"{info.file_type.file_format}, {info.page_count} page(s), {info.size} bytes")
