Encryption

This sample demonstrates how to encrypt the PDF document with encryption standards like 40-bit RC4, 128-bit RC4, 128-bit AES, 256-bit AES, advanced encryption standard 256-bit AES Revision 6 (PDF 2.0) and 256-bit AES-GCM (PDF 2.0) to protect documents against unauthorized access.

Encryption Type :

40 Bit RC4

128 Bit RC4

128 Bit AES

256 Bit AES

256 Bit AES Revision 6

256 Bit AES GCM

Encryption Options :

User Password : password

Owner Password : syncfusion

It is possible to protect with user password or owner password or both passwords and also possible to change or remove password and permission. More information about encryption or decryption can be found in this documentation section.
