Hi all,

I'm trying to set encryption using the setEncryption method. Below is the a
snippet of the source

      PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(inputPDFFormByteArr);
      PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, outputStream);
      FdfReader fdfReader = new FdfReader(fdfByteArr);

      int permissions = reader.getPermissions();
      boolean strength = reader.is128Key();
      
      AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
      String ownerPassword = "password"

      form.setFields(fdfReader);

      if ( ownerPassword != null && !"".equals(ownerPassword) ) {
        stamper.setEncryption( strength, null, ownerPassword, permissions );
      }


When the call to setEncryption is made an exception is thrown

com.lowagie.text.DocumentException: Content was already written to the output.
 at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper.setEncryption([B[BIZ)V(PdfStamper.java:293)
 at
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper.setEncryption(ZLjava.lang.String;
Ljava.lang.String;I)V(PdfStamper.java:311)

Any ideas why?

I started to look at the IText code and it throws the exception when the
PdfBody.size() > 1. Does that mean I have to setEncryption() before I do
form.setFields(fdfReader)?

Thanks for the help,

Abhay.
