I am trying to change the attributes "Content Copying" and "Content Copying for
Accessibility" on a PDF received from a third party.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but am unable to find anything that says it
is not allowed.
Here is what I can tell you about the PDF.
Both "Content Copying and Content Copying for Accessibility are currently set
to "Allowed".
The PDF is NOT read only.
The "Owner Permission" is set to false (which I am thinking may be key).
I set both attributes to false, I then save the document and close the document.
The time stamp of the document gets updated, but the attributes remain
unchanged.
Below is sample code and output:
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(pdfFile);
canExtract =
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().canExtractContent();
canExtractFA =
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().canExtractForAccessibility();
canExtract_owner =
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().getOwnerAccessPermission().canExtractContent();
canExtractFA_owner =
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().getOwnerAccessPermission().canExtractForAccessibility();
readOnly = doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().isReadOnly();
ownerPermission = doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().isOwnerPermission();
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().setCanExtractForAccessibility(false);
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().setCanExtractContent(false);
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().getOwnerAccessPermission().setCanExtractContent(false);
doc.getCurrentAccessPermission().getOwnerAccessPermission().setCanExtractForAccessibility(false);
doc.save(pdfFile);
doc.close();
canExtract-true, canExtractFA-
Thank you
