All Known Implementing Classes:

    public interface PdfEncryptionSettings

Encryption settings are described in section 3.5 (more specifically section 3.5.2) of the PDF Reference 1.7. They are explained in section 3.3.3 of the book 'iText in Action'. The values of the different preferences were originally stored in class PdfWriter, but they have been moved to this separate interface for reasons of convenience.

Method Summary
`void` | `setEncryption(byte[] userPassword, byte[] ownerPassword, int permissions, int encryptionType)` Sets the encryption options for this document.
`void` | `setEncryption(Certificate[] certs, int[] permissions, int encryptionType)` Sets the certificate encryption options for this document.

Method Detail

### setEncryption

    void setEncryption(byte[] userPassword,
                       byte[] ownerPassword,
                       int permissions,
                       int encryptionType)
                       throws DocumentException

  Sets the encryption options for this document. 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:
    `userPassword` - the user password. Can be null or empty
    `ownerPassword` - the owner password. Can be null or empty
    `permissions` - the user permissions
    `encryptionType` - the type of encryption. It can be one of STANDARD_ENCRYPTION_40, STANDARD_ENCRYPTION_128 or ENCRYPTION_AES128. Optionally DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA can be ored to output the metadata in cleartext
  Throws:
    `DocumentException` - if the document is already open

### setEncryption

    void setEncryption(Certificate[] certs,
                       int[] permissions,
                       int encryptionType)
                       throws DocumentException

  Sets the certificate encryption options for this document. An array of one or more public certificates must be provided together with an array of the same size for the permissions for each certificate. 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. Optionally DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA can be ored to output the metadata in cleartext

  Parameters:
    `certs` - the public certificates to be used for the encryption
    `permissions` - the user permissions for each of the certificates
    `encryptionType` - the type of encryption. It can be one of STANDARD_ENCRYPTION_40, STANDARD_ENCRYPTION_128 or ENCRYPTION_AES128.
  Throws:
    `DocumentException` - if the document is already open
