How to open a PDF which password protected?

[satyendraEMC]

Hi,

We have a use case were we need to open a PDF document having security enabled.

Is there a way to open/supply this password and ynamically open the PDF and then optimize the same?

Currently our code is as below:

ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());

com.aspose.pdf.Document document = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(filenameSource);
document.optimize();
document.convert("pdfVersioning.txt", profileProcessor.getPdfSettings().pdfVersion, ConvertErrorAction.None);
document.save(filenameSource);
document.dispose();

The above code works fine for PDF's which do not have password protection.

But for PDF's which are password protected, we get below exception:

com.aspose.pdf.exceptions.InvalidPasswordException: Invalid password

Please can you let me know how can we open such a PDF file? Or is there any other way to handle this use case?

Thanks,

Hi Satyendra,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please check following code snippet to open a password protected PDF document. Later you can optimize the resultant file. Hopefully it will serve the purpose.

//open document

Document document = new Document(“Input.pdf”, “userpassword”);

//decrypt PDF

document.decrypt();

//save updated PDF

document.save(“output.pdf”);

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,
