Password protect PDF

[JeffY]

I am hoping to get some assistance in modifying Matt Petrowsky's example file that combines pdf's and add one more step to password protect the combined pdf.

I would include the file but it is for subscribers only.

There is example code to do this at:

I have zero knowledge on how to modify this to work with Matt's sample file.

Any help would be appreciated.

If someone wants to provide an estimate to do this please contact me at:

Thanks

You also need to load the Bcprov-jdk15-146.jar which is part of the iText Extra files download

Then create another SM function with the code and once you have a completed PDF send it to the function

(no error checking etc)

...)

// UserPass ( fm_file ; fm_fileOut ; userPassword )

// 11_05_26 JR

// v1

// snippet of code to add userPassword to file

// takes fm_file and stamps it to fm_fileOut

// userPassword is pretty much that



import java.io.FileOutputStream

import com.itextpdf.text.*

import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.*





USER = userPassword.getBytes()

OWNER = "yourPassword".getBytes()



reader = new PdfReader(fm_file)

stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(fm_fileOut))

stamper.setEncryption(USER, OWNER, PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING, PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128 | PdfWriter.DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA)

stamper.close()

return true
