Which program shows you those permissions? I ask because I looked at the permissions as displayed by Adobe Acrobat and got these: <http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/file/n4659491/dest-permissions.png> That is, BTW, why I asked > How have you checked the permissions?

No, it is no "misbehavior of iText". Furthermore there seems to be some misunderstanding. The permissions in a PDF given in the context of encryption do not grant "extra permissions" in excess of those an un-encrypted document would have! Actually it is the other way around: Encryption allows you to remove permissions compared to what is allowed for an un-encrypted document, and by means of not using certain ALLOW_* permission bits you withdraw permissions.

You get the maximum number of permissions by simply not encrypting the document. In addition to the permissions of the un-encrypted document a specific PDF viewing program might require additional usage rights which are viewer-specific. Usage rights can be added by means of usage rights signatures. To apply such usage rights signatures you usually need software or services provided by the manufacturer of the PDF viewer in question. To add usage rights for Adobe Reader, e.g., you can use Adobe Acrobat or certain Adobe Lifecycle services.
