Opait.Pdf.PdfSecurity Class Reference

Class manages security parameters for encrypted PDF documents. A PDF document can be encrypted to protect its contents from unauthorized access. Encryption applies to all strings and streams in the document’s PDF file, but not to other object types such as integers and boolean values, which are used primarily to convey information about the document’s structure rather than its content. Leaving these values unencrypted allows random access to the objects within a document, whereas encrypting the strings and streams protects the document’s substantive contents. More...
