Surely the point of a password is to stop people opening it ( or printing it ) 
without the password?

 

I wouldn’t be massively impressed if you took one of my documents I has 
disallowed printing and then did just that.

And isn’t that error message nothing to do with iText?

Subject: [iText-questions] Use of password protected PDFs

 

Hello.

I've experiencing some problem using protected PDFs.

I've been asked to make a small java program that shows a list of PDFs, allows 
the user to see them in a viewer and to print them with the application of a 
watermark on the printed copy.

 

First of all I looked if it was possible to launch the PDFs in acrobat reader 
disabling the printing command, but after some search over the internet it 
didn't looked possible, so I developed a small viewer using the PDFrenderer 
library.

The printing part, I used iText to process the PDF applying a watermark page by 
page, save it in a temporary file and then print the temporary file.

 

With PDFs I printed the program works fine, both the viewer and the printer 
work properly, but using PDFs protected, in both the modules I get the same 
error:

 

com.sun.pdfview.PDFParseException: Unknown command: qq
    at com.sun.pdfview.PDFParser.iterate(PDFParser.java:800)
    at com.sun.pdfview.BaseWatchable.run(BaseWatchable.java:101)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)

 

when I call the method getPage(int pageNum) of the class PDFFile.

I found on the internet that the problem seem quite common, but couldn't 
understand how to get rid of it. Someone can help?

 

Thanx in advance

 

Raffaele Mottalini
