Andrea Vacondio commented on PDFBOX-807: ---------------------------------------- I attached an encrypted document with owner password "test". Using PDFBox 1.6.0 I created a simple test: public void testDec() throws Exception { String[] args = { "-password", "test", "/tmp/enc_test_test_file.pdf", "/tmp/out.pdf" }; Decrypt.main(args); } And I got the following stacktrace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.StandardSecurityHandler.prepareDocumentForEncryption(StandardSecurityHandler.java:283) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfwriter.COSWriter.write(COSWriter.java:1306) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.save(PDDocument.java:1121) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.save(PDDocument.java:1102) at org.apache.pdfbox.Decrypt.decrypt(Decrypt.java:153) at org.apache.pdfbox.Decrypt.main(Decrypt.java:57) ........ > NullPointerException in StandardSecurityHandler.java:261 > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-807 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-807 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: PDModel > Affects Versions: 1.2.1 > Environment: JDK 1.6.0_21, Windows XP 32 Bit. > Reporter: MH > Assignee: Adam Nichols > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: enc_test_test_file.pdf > > > I like to add text to a PDF and used the example code > AddMessageToEachPage.java to do this.
