I've used the following method from the javadocs:

public static void encrypt(PdfReader reader,
                           OutputStream os,
                           boolean strength,
                           String userPassword,
                           String ownerPassword,
                           int permissions)
                    throws DocumentException,
                           IOException

What exactly is the ownerPassword? - what does this do? (it doesn't seem to do
anything?)

And if I set permissions to be 10000000 i.e. only allow printing - it still
allows Selecting Text and Graphics???

Anything wrong with the javadocs?
