Summary: Move SecurityHandler to PDEncryptionDictionary
Key: PDFBOX-1986
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1986
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: John Hewson
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.
