Hi,

Thanks for the detail and sample code.

After an initial test, I observed the issue as you mentioned by using your sample code with a simple template Excel file. Disabling setExtractContentPermission - “Permission to copy or extract content” option is not working and I can still copy text from it in the PDF file.

e.g
Sample code:

Workbook book = new Workbook(“e:\test2\Book1.xlsx”);
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions(SaveFormat.PDF);
options.setDefaultFont(“Arial”);
PdfSecurityOptions sec = new PdfSecurityOptions();
sec.setAnnotationsPermission(false);
sec.setExtractContentPermission(false);
sec.setExtractContentPermissionObsolete(false);
sec.setModifyDocumentPermission(false);
sec.setFillFormsPermission(false);
sec.setAssembleDocumentPermission(false);
sec.setOwnerPassword(“testing”);
options.setSecurityOptions(sec);
book.save(“out1.pdf”, options);

I have logged a ticket with an id “CELLSJAVA-40973” for your issue. We will look into it soon.

Once we have any update on it, we will let you know here.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have tested your scenario/ case using your newly attached file a bit, it works fine. I am using the following sample code, it works fine regarding security settings for extract content permissions, please see the screen shot here for your reference.

e.g

Sample code:

Workbook book = new Workbook(“67460.xls”);
