Property Value

True - the field is intended for entering a secure password that should not be echoed visibly to the screen;
false - the field does NOT contain password.

Value of this property is a part of inheritable flag group.
Property value is taken from the field flags if at least one flag is specified explicitly.
Property value is taken from the field flags of the field parent in the field hierarchy if not one flag is specified explicitly.

Remarks

Characters typed from the keyboard should instead be echoed in some unreadable form, such as asterisks or bullet characters. To protect password confidentiality, viewer applications should never store the value of the text field in the PDF file if this flag is set.

Requirements
