Hi Paulo,

 

Yup, I’ve noticed that too.  But when I use encrypt_pdf.java, the produced PDF is only compatible with Acrobat 5.0 and up.  Is there a way so that it is compatible with Acrobat 3 or 4?

That's old code. Use com.lowagie.tools.encrypt_pdf.java.

 

Best Regards,

It seems that the code that encrypted it reads the PDF file right-side up, but retains the rotation value of the old PDF file.  Here’s the code if you would like to look.  It just seems so odd to me too:

Upside-down? This is a novelty! I would like to see the pdf and the program used to encrypt it.

I have a problem encrypting PDFs.  It creates the encrypted PDF upside down.  Is this a bug with iText?  The PDF was created with the version 1.2 specification.
