Problem with Decrypt pdf with password

hello Aspose team


I have a problem when I try to remove the password of a pdf document I already try with this code

PdfFileSecurity file = new PdfFileSecurity(filePath, DestinationPath);
file.DecryptFile(password);

and like this

Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(filePath, password);
doc.Decrypt();
doc.Save(destinationPath);


but in both scenarios i have the same Exception from the method DecryptFile

Permissions check failed (invalid Perms value).

can you help me with this, thanks
