Encrypted Key not correctly calculated when the meta data is not encrypted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-907
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-907
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Parsing
    Affects Versions: 1.3.1
            Reporter: Martijn Brinkers


Since rev 4, meta data can be unencrypted while the data is encrypted. If the 
metadata is not encrypted 0xFFFFFFFF should be added to the hash:

"Security handlers of revision 4 or greater) If document metadata is not being 
encrypted, pass 4 bytes with
the value 0xFFFFFFFF to the MD5 hash function."

(see see 7.6.3.3 Algorithm 2 Step f of PDF 32000-1:2008)

Whether or not the metadata is encrypted is store in the encryption dictionary. 
The default value is to encrypt the meta data.

I will attach a patch to detect whether the meta data is encrypted, and if not 
0xFFFFFFFF will be added.

The document that I have tested with can be downloaded from
