Sets the password preset to open a password-protected eWriter file.

When opening a password-protected eWriter file, the user is normally prompted to enter the password. This command line switch passes the password directly to the file so that the user is not prompted to enter it.

Important security warning:
Submitting the password for a protected ebook as command line parameter is not secure. The command line password may be hidden for an average user but tech-savvy users can easily find it.

 

Value

Example

password

pw=mypassword

 

Note:
All examples are the argument. They must always be preceded by the eViewer app or the eWriter EXE file name if you are using that format on Windows. When using standalone Windows EXE files the file is both the viewer and the target and calls itself.

URL example eViewer app:
ewriter://<path+filename>?pw=mypassword
