com.aspose.words.FileCorruptedException when specifying a password Aspose.Words for Java 10.4.0

Hello,
I am doing some basic testing with Aspose Words for Java to open a protected (read-only) document. I have created a fresh docx
file a set the protection to read-only with the password ‘123’. When opening the document with the password specfied via the
understanding junit test case, the following exception is thrown, when specifying no Loadoptions in the ‘new Document’ constructor,
the call succeeds.

Environment:
Aspose.Words for Java 10.4.0 (Aspose.Words.jdk16.jar)
java version “1.6.0_26”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
Eclipse 3.5.1
JUnit 4.4
If needed i can send you the complete maven project
Regards Rob Sessink

Best regards,

Hello,
Please see the attached document.

Hello
Thank you for additional information. Your document is not encrypted it is just protected. If the document is not encrypted, set LoadingOptions Password to null or empty string.
https://reference.aspose.com/words/java/com.aspose.words/loadoptions/#getPassword
In your case should use the following code to unprotect your document:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\test_protection.docx");
doc.unprotect();
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx", SaveFormat.DOCX);

https://reference.aspose.com/words/java/com.aspose.words/document/#unprotect
Best regards,

Thank you for your response, i mixed up the concepts of protection and encryption, everythings works correct now.
