Hesham and Adam and All,
My problem seems to be simpler in spirit. All i want to know are the
security settings on a pdf. i do not have the password. i have a pdf file
and i want to know what are the operations that are allowed on the pdf. It
would be like opening the pdf in adobe and then going to
File->Properties->Security and finding what is allowed and what is not. The
code below does not seem to work. It always return the variable 'ex' as
true, even if the PDF has Extraction Not Allowed set. Any ideas?
ex = ap.canExtractContent() and thus always prints "You have permission to
> extract text".
