Hello,
I thought that PdfReader#getPermissions returns the permissions used when
encrypting a document, in the same format as
PdfEncryptionSettings#setEncryption wants them. However, I only get strange
results. For example, a document without any permissions (like the one
created in the code below) will have permissions of -64 and not 0 as I used
for creating it.
Bug or feature?
Michael
Example code:
-----
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
public class StrangePermissions {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Document d = new Document();
PdfWriter w = PdfWriter.getInstance(d, new
FileOutputStream("test.pdf"));
w.setEncryption(new byte[0], "Test".getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),
0, PdfWriter.STANDARD_ENCRYPTION_40);
d.open();
d.add(new Chunk("Hello, World!"));
d.close();
PdfReader r = new PdfReader("test.pdf",
"Test".getBytes("ISO-8859-1"));
System.out.println(r.getPermissions()); // returns -64
}
}
