I have had similar problem when I tried to use PdfReader on a secure pdf:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/asn1/ASN1ObjectIdentifier
at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfEncryption.<init>(PdfEncryption.java:147)
I got the newest version of itext through maven. But after I added the
bcmail-jdk16-1.46.jar and bcprov-jdk16-1.46.jar files through maven,
the problem is solved.
And you are right, this wasn't an issue for older version of itext (I
have 5.0.6 in another environment and it seems to work fine.)
