This question was kind of previously posted, but I'm getting the same
error, even though I AM supplying the password byte[] to the reader when I
do this:
I found this code somewhere and was using it as starting point to split an
original password protected file, up into separate pages(they also need to
be password protected with same password)
private void split(String filePath) throws Exception {
Document.plainRandomAccess = true; // try to avoid possible JVM
crashes
String password = "password";
byte[] passwordBytes = password.getBytes();
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(filePath, passwordBytes);
Then later on in the code I do this, and it fails on the last line (
PdfReader not opened with owner password):
Document document = new
Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(pageNo));
File newFile = new File(fileName.append("_"
).append(pageCnt).append(".pdf").toString());
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(newFile));
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, pageNo);
<--- Fails on this line
Do I need to attach or send the passwordBytes byte[] into the document
somehow, or the PdfWriter?
What am I doing wrong, since I have obviously complied by sending in the
user password with the "reader" .
Can someone please help guide me what/where I need to set this password,
to be able to split a password protected PDF into multiple single PDF's
protected with the same password.
Thanks so much for your time.

Provide the owner password that was used to create the PDF file.
