config Method
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

def decrypt() -> None: ...
Remarks
Call this method to decrypt the document.
do_action Method
Performs an additional action.
Syntax
def do_action(action_id: str, action_params: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
do_action is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.
The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.
ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....
reset Method
Resets the class settings.
Syntax
def reset() -> None: ...
Remarks
reset is a generic method available in every class.
on_decryption_password_needed Event
Request to provide decryption password during decryption.
Syntax
class OfficeDecryptorDecryptionPasswordNeededEventParams(object): @property def cancel_decryption() -> bool: ... @cancel_decryption.setter def cancel_decryption(value) -> None: ... # In class OfficeDecryptor: @property def on_decryption_password_needed() -> Callable[[OfficeDecryptorDecryptionPasswordNeededEventParams], None]: ... @on_decryption_password_needed.setter def on_decryption_password_needed(event_hook: Callable[[OfficeDecryptorDecryptionPasswordNeededEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event is fired when the component needs decryption password from the user.
if CancelDecryption property is set to true value (default value) then decryption would fail if provided password is invalid. Otherwise this event would be fired again.
on_error Event
Information about errors during signing.
Syntax
class OfficeDecryptorErrorEventParams(object): @property def error_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class OfficeDecryptor: @property def on_error() -> Callable[[OfficeDecryptorErrorEventParams], None]: ... @on_error.setter def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[OfficeDecryptorErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during the office document processing.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error.
on_notification Event
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
class OfficeDecryptorNotificationEventParams(object): @property def event_id() -> str: ... @property def event_param() -> str: ... # In class OfficeDecryptor: @property def on_notification() -> Callable[[OfficeDecryptorNotificationEventParams], None]: ... @on_notification.setter def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[OfficeDecryptorNotificationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The class fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the class. For example, it may fire to report completion of the document processing. The list of events being reported is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.
The unique identifier of the event is provided in the EventID parameter. EventParam contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the class, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.
This class can fire this event with the following EventID values:
DocumentLoaded | Reports the completion of Office document processing by the component. Use the event handler to access document-related information. The EventParam value passed with this EventID is empty. |
OfficeDecryptor Config Settings
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.OfficeDecryptor Config Settings
