Hello In my quest to migrate forms from one pdf to a new one, I just realized that the resulting PDF does not have the same document restrictions and document security settings anymore. The original PDF has the following entries: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Bzk_1dcyc5UDd5c2FUSVRXRmc/view?usp=sharing
The newly created PDF using PDFBox has the following reduced settings for both the document restrictions and the document security: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Bzk_1dcyc5cU8tYTFvVDNXREk/view?usp=sharing This is how I have tried to remedy the situation, but nothing changes: String dir = "./"; String ownerPassword = ""; String userPassword = "hidden"; PDDocument srcDoc; PDDocument tplDoc; srcDoc = PDDocument.load(new File(dir, "ccalt.pdf"), userPassword); tplDoc = PDDocument.load(new File(dir, "cctemp.pdf"), userPassword); tplDoc.setAllSecurityToBeRemoved(true); AccessPermission srcDocAP = srcDoc.getCurrentAccessPermission(); System.out.println("RO/OP:" + srcDocAP.isReadOnly() + "/" + srcDocAP.isOwnerPermission()); AccessPermission destDocAP = new AccessPermission(); destDocAP.setCanAssembleDocument(srcDocAP.canAssembleDocument()); destDocAP.setCanExtractContent(srcDocAP.canExtractContent()); destDocAP.setCanExtractForAccessibility(srcDocAP.canExtractForAccessibility()); destDocAP.setCanFillInForm(srcDocAP.canFillInForm()); destDocAP.setCanModify(srcDocAP.canModify()); destDocAP.setCanModifyAnnotations(srcDocAP.canModifyAnnotations()); destDocAP.setCanPrint(srcDocAP.canPrint()); destDocAP.setCanPrintDegraded(srcDocAP.canPrintDegraded()); StandardProtectionPolicy policy = new StandardProtectionPolicy(ownerPassword, userPassword, destDocAP); //policy.setPermissions(srcDocAP); srcDoc.close(); tplDoc.protect(policy); tplDoc.save("ccmig.pdf"); tplDoc.close(); What am I doing wrong now? The output of the println statement is: RO/OP:false/true Best regards Roberto
