The permissions are the same whether you open the PDF with user or owner password. The difference is that the owner password allows you to change the permissions, for example, remove them.

But now i have a problem when i use the next code PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("ChapterSection.pdf"); PdfEncryptor.encrypt(reader, new FileOutputStream("encrypted.pdf"), "User".getBytes(), "Owner".getBytes(),0, true); I suposse that when i open the pdf with "User" i couldn't do anything 'cause i don't have permissions, and if i open it with "Owner" i have all the allowances. however it doesn't work. When i modified the permissions, it seems that they are applied in both cases, user and owner. Could you tell me where i am wrong? Thanks in advance.
