Hi,

Please use the following code:

//Set both password

PdfFileSecurity fileSecurity1 = new PdfFileSecurity("orignal.pdf", "encrypted.pdf");

fileSecurity1.EncryptFile("userpassword", "ownerpassword", PdfPrivilege.Copy | PdfPrivilege.Print, true);

//Remove both password

PdfFileSecurity fileSecurity2 = new PdfFileSecurity("encrypted.pdf", "nopassword.pdf");

fileSecurity2.DecryptFile("ownerpassword");

//Remove open document password

PdfFileSecurity fileSecurity3 = new PdfFileSecurity("encrypted.pdf", "noopenpassword.pdf");

fileSecurity3.ChangePassword("ownerpassword", "", "ownerpassword");

//Remove permission password

PdfFileSecurity fileSecurity4 = new PdfFileSecurity("encrypted.pdf", "nopermissionpassword.pdf");

fileSecurity4.ChangePassword("ownerpassword", "userpassword", "");

Thanks.
