Hi Andreas,
Thank you for your reply. I have tried using
document.decrypt("ownerORuser_password");
in my code. The above API call works if we provide the user password to
decrypt an encrypted PDF but when I give the owner password for the same
PDF, the API is not able to validate the password correctly and it never
recognizes the owner password. When I try opening that PDF from the file
system, the owner password and the user password work.
Thanks,
Balaji
