Hello, In itext, can we decrypt a pdf file using the user password that was used to encrypt the file?
I know decryption can be done using owner password. What I want to achieve is: In my web application, keep pdf files in encrypted form. When the authorized user requests for a pdf file, then depending on the permissions (user's role), I send them a file with appropriate permissions - ALLOW_PRINTING, ALLOW_COPY etc. What I am doing right now is I encrypt a file using OWNER and USER passwords and then decrypt it using OWNER password but then that file allows all actions - print, copy etc. thanks, deep -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/pdf-decryption-using-user-password-tp3031879p3031879.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
