Thank you, Tilman.  

Ha!  Sorry, I was just giving the minimal code.  The actual code was:

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        File f = new File("C:/temp/testPDF_protected.pdf");
        PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
        PDPage page = new PDPage();
        document.addPage(page);

        PDFont font = HELVETICA_BOLD;
        PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, 
page);
        contentStream.beginText();
        contentStream.setFont( font, 12 );
        contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount( 100, 700 );
        contentStream.drawString( "Hello World" );
        contentStream.endText();
        contentStream.close();

        AccessPermission ap = new AccessPermission();
        ap.setReadOnly();
        StandardProtectionPolicy spp = new StandardProtectionPolicy("owner", 
"user", ap);
        document.protect(spp);
        document.save(f);
        document.close();
    }

The error is "There was a problem reading this document (57)".   I can move the 
AccessPermissions line before and after creating the page, and I get the same 
error.  If I don't create/add a page, I get the same error.

If I comment out the AccessPermission -> protect lines, Adobe Reader is able to 
open the file.

I generated the document on Windows with PDFBox 2.0 SNAPSHOT and Java 1.8.0_31.

For the record, I'm still sure I'm doing something wrong!  :)

Best,

            Tim

Hi Tim,

add a page to the document.

PDPage page = new PDPage();
document.addPage(page);
