John Hewson updated PDFBOX-1986:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
> Move SecurityHandler to PDEncryptionDictionary
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-1986
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1986
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: John Hewson
> Labels: Encryption
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> In the PDF specification a "security handler" is defined in the "encryption
> dictionary", but in PDFBox the security handler belongs to the document
> itself.
> It is not difficult to move the SecurityHandler field of PDDocument to the
> PDEncryptionDictionary class, and we can do so without introducing any
> breaking changes.
> We can deprecate methods at this point rather than removing them, until we're
> happy with feedback.
> Also, we generally don't use the postfix "Dictionary" because most classes in
> the PD model represent dictionaries anyway, so we should rename
> PDEncryptionDictionary to PDEncryption. Luckily we can just deprecate the old
> class and add a new subclass with the desired name. This avoids breaking
> changes until we're happy with the new state of things.
