I am looking at working with password protected PDFs and I am wondering about the following workflow.

Can you determine the if a password protected PDF is print-restricted prior to having the password or do you need to enter have the password before you can access the restricted actions?

Hello David,

I was incorrect in my last reply, you can read this information by using the PDFDocument class. Below is a snippet you can use to print out the security options for a PDF. And to answer your original question, you will need to supply a password before anything can be read about the document.

Code:


string fileName = @"C:\temp\Sample.pdf";

bool encrypted = PDFFile.IsEncrypted(fileName);
string password = null;
if (encrypted)
{
	Console.Write("File is encrypted, please enter password: ");
	password = Console.ReadLine();
}

PDFDocument document = new PDFDocument(fileName, password);

Console.WriteLine(String.Format("IsEncrypted: {0}", document.IsEncrypted));

if (document.SecurityOptions != null)
{
	PDFSecurityOptions o = document.SecurityOptions;
	Console.WriteLine("SecurityOptions:");
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tAnnotationsEnabled: {0}", o.AnnotationsEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tAssemblyEnabled: {0}", o.AssemblyEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tCopyEnabled: {0}", o.CopyEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tCopyForAccessibilityEnabled: {0}", o.CopyForAccessibilityEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tEditEnabled: {0}", o.EditEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tEncryptionMode: {0}", o.EncryptionMode));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tFormFieldFillingEnabled: {0}", o.FormFieldFillingEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tHighQualityPrintEnabled: {0}", o.HighQualityPrintEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tOwnerPassword: '{0}'", o.OwnerPassword));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tPrintEnabled: {0}", o.PrintEnabled));
	Console.WriteLine(String.Format("\tUserPassword: '{0}'", o.UserPassword));
}
else
{
	Console.WriteLine("SecurityOptions: null");
}
