Cannot open 256bit AES encoded PDF

Hi,

We’re having trouble opening some 256Bit AES encrypted documents. Error reported is:

Permissions check failed (invalid Perms value).

The document opens fine in Acrobat and Nuance.

File is: Test Document AES256.pdf (25.0 KB)

Password is: 123456

Using the following Call

new Aspose.Pdf.Document(File, “123456”)

Other 256Bit pdfs and other encryption levels work fine. Using Aspose PDF 19.4.0.0
