Password protection with ownerPassword only #220

Closed rcwwilliams closed 6 years ago

Hi

The feature to password protect a PDF document using recrypt is great - thank you.

Is it possible to recrypt a document so it can be opened without a password, but with the activities specified in the userProtectionFlag being password protected?

Thanks

Kind regards

Robin

You can try to set the userPassword to ''. And set password and ownerPassword to the one you want.

It should allow you to open the pdf file without password and require password for editing.
