Thanks a lot Adam.
The solution you mentioned is the same thing I did in my last message, and
that's why it caused that Exception ... I opened the pdf, decrypted it,
saved it without doing any action, then close it. But the Exception occurred
in the save step.
I have tried a solution that worked fine for me.
I opened the file, decrypted it, did all the writing stuff I wanted, then
before saving it I encrypted it again with null owner / user passwords ...
Then saved and closed it.
That did the trick.
Best regards ,
Hesham

I'm not sure that I know enough about PDF encryption and how PDFBox
decrypts files to be of much more help here. A NullPointerException
should be easy to track down though. About the only workaround I can
think of would be to open & remove all encryption, save, open unencrypted
file and do what you need to do. Of course, this would be a performance
hit, but it's a quick & dirty solution which might be good enough to get
you by for now. I've never wanted to open an encrypted PDF and then save
it without stripping out the encryption, so I don't know much about saving
encrypted PDFs. Trace through the SecurityHandler classes, and hit the
PDF reference from Adobe. That's your best bet.
Good luck,
Adam

Re: PDF Permissions
Hi ,
Thanks for your help Adam.
Today I have tried to change the permissions of my PDF, and your code
worked
fine ... I access the PDF using 'Owner Password'.
My problem is I want to write to the encrypted PDF ... This works fine,
until the line of saving the PDF, I get this Exception :
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.StandardSecurityHandler.prepareDocumentForEncryption(StandardSecurityHandler.java:261)
at
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfwriter.COSWriter.write(COSWriter.java:1002)
This exception just appears even if I don't write anything in the PDF ...
Just when I try to save it, ex :
pdfFile = PDDocument.load( file ); // Open this pdf to edit.// Decrypt
the pdf if it's encrypted :
if( pdfFile.isEncrypted() ) { StandardDecryptionMaterial dm
= new StandardDecryptionMaterial( "1234" );
pdfFile.openProtection( dm );
}
pdfFile.save( file ); // Exception here.
pdfFile.close();
Best regards ,
Hesham

Here are the basics:
PDDocument doc = null;
try {
doc = PDDocument.load(someFile);
StandardDecryptionMaterial sdm = new
StandardDecryptionMaterial("yourPasswordGoesHere");
doc.openProtection(sdm);
// use the document like normal
} catch(...) {
// decryption error
} finally {
if(doc != null)
doc.close();
}

Re: PDF Permissions
I am having problems with encrypted PDFs too. I don't know but I think
there
are things wrong with the Encryption / Decryption classes.
