# fpGetRestrictions()

Gets document restrictions for a `KVDocument`. For more information about this feature see Document Restrictions.

## Syntax

    KVErrorCode (pascal* fpGetRestrictions)(
        KVDocument pDocument,
        KVRestrictions* pRestrictions);

## Arguments

`pDocument` | A `KVDocument` that you created with fpOpenDocumentFromFile() or fpOpenDocumentFromStream().
`pRestrictions` | A pointer to an existing KVRestrictions structure. Use the macro `KVStructInit` to initialize the KVStructHead structure before calling this function.

## Returns

The return value is an error code.

- If the call is successful, the return value is `KVError_Success` and the document restrictions are stored in `pRestrictions`.
- If the call is unsuccessful, the return value is an error code that indicates the problem.

## Discussion

- Restrictions can be reported for DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF format only.
- Restrictions may not be reported if reading the document content is itself restricted.
