encrypt

public static void encrypt(PdfReader reader,
                           OutputStream os,
                           byte[] userPassword,
                           byte[] ownerPassword,
                           int permissions,
                           boolean strength128Bits)
                    throws DocumentException,
                           IOException

Entry point to encrypt a PDF document. The encryption parameters are the same as in PdfWriter. The userPassword and the ownerPassword can be null or have zero length. In this case the ownerPassword is replaced by a random string. The open permissions for the document can be AllowPrinting, AllowModifyContents, AllowCopy, AllowModifyAnnotations, AllowFillIn, AllowScreenReaders, AllowAssembly and AllowDegradedPrinting. The permissions can be combined by ORing them.

Parameters:

reader - the read PDF

os - the output destination

userPassword - the user password. Can be null or empty

ownerPassword - the owner password. Can be null or empty

permissions - the user permissions

strength128Bits - true for 128 bit key length, false for 40 bit key length

Throws:

DocumentException - on error

IOException - on error
