Hello all,
I have a collection of PDFs I'm extracting text from programmatically, and
some of them are encrypted. All of them can be opened in OS X's Preview
without supplying a password, but when decrypting with PDFBox, a small
portion of result in an exception on decryption:
Exception in thread "main"
org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.CryptographyException: Error: The supplied
password does not match either the owner or user password in the document.
at
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.StandardSecurityHandler.decryptDocument(StandardSecurityHandler.java:231)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.openProtection(PDDocument.java:1111)
...
This happens both with
doc.openProtection(new StandardDecryptionMaterial(""));
and
doc.decrypt("");
(not that I'm sure there's a difference). Is there some magic that Preview
is doing to decrypt the document, or am I just hosed? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!
