Thx for the answer. I have included the Bouncy Castle Jars (bcprov-jdk14-146.jar and bcmail-jdk14-146.jar) into the classpath and the application doenst throw an exception at all. If it would, the return parameter wouldnt be filled, but it is. The pdf-data i am throwing to the web service gets returned and can be displayed. Just the pwd is not set at all! :(
/public byte[] encrypt(byte[] pdf, byte[] pwd) { // TODO : Implement try { PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdf); ByteArrayOutputStream boas = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); try { PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, boas); stamper.setEncryption(pwd, pwd, PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING, PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128 | PdfWriter.DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA); stamper.close(); *return boas.toByteArray();* } catch (DocumentException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; }/ -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/PDF-encryption-as-a-Web-Service-on-a-JDK-1-4-based-Application-Server-tp3677768p3677811.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention Research study explores the data loss prevention market.
