Hi,

We are encrypting PDF documents using the below method:

document.encrypt("user", "owner", documentPrivilege, CryptoAlgorithm.AESx128, false);

This approach encrypts all document content including metadata. Is there a way to encrypt content except metadata so that the search engines can still access document’s metadata?

An approach that mimics the following option in Acrobat Pro
