I want to make pdf file password protected. I just goolge it for the same and find a good solution given below. It's working fine But it wipe out all the data which is already there in my pdf after i secure pdf using below given code.
Used jar files for this code are:
itextpdf-5.2.1.jar
bcmail-jdk16-1.46.jar
bcprov-jdk16-1.46.jar
bctsp-jdk16-1.46.jar
Code to secure PDF :
import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.DocumentException;
import com.itextpdf.text.Paragraph;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Secure_file {
private static String USER_PASSWORD = "password";
private static String OWNER_PASSWORD = "secured";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Document document = new Document();
try {
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("E:\\sample.pdf"));
writer.setEncryption(USER_PASSWORD.getBytes(),OWNER_PASSWORD.getBytes(), PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING,PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128);
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("This is Password Protected PDF document."));
document.close();
writer.close();
} catch (DocumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
what changes i need to made in this program ?
If you look up the iText in Action keywords you'll find encryption pointing to the sample part3.chapter12.EncryptionPdf. That sample's method createPdf essentially is equivalent to your code but the method encryptPdf is what you want:
/** User password. */
public static byte[] USER = "Hello".getBytes();
/** Owner password. */
public static byte[] OWNER = "World".getBytes();
...
public void encryptPdf(String src, String dest) throws IOException, DocumentException {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(dest));
stamper.setEncryption(USER, OWNER,
PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING, PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128 | PdfWriter.DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA);
stamper.close();
reader.close();
}
example using iText5. If use iText7 is very similar but using another class instead of stampler.
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(dp.getStream());
File tempFile = File.createTempFile("someFilename", FILE_EXTENSION_PDF);
tempFile.deleteOnExit();
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, os);
String pdfPassword = "1234"
String pdfAdminPassword = "5678"
stamper.setEncryption(
pdfPassword.getBytes(),
pdfAdminPassword.getBytes(),
PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING,
PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128);
reader.close();
stamper.close();
InputStream encryptedFileIs = new FileInputStream(tempFile);
or apache lib pdfbox
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(dp.getStream());
AccessPermission ap = new AccessPermission();
StandardProtectionPolicy spp = new StandardProtectionPolicy("1234", "1234", ap);
spp.setEncryptionKeyLength(128);
spp.setPermissions(ap);
document.protect(spp);
File tempFile = File.createTempFile("someFilename", FILE_EXTENSION_PDF);
tempFile.deleteOnExit();
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
document.save(os);
document.close();
InputStream encryptedFileIs = new FileInputStream(tempFile);
Good luck and happy coding :)
stamper.setEncryption(USER, OWNER,PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING, PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128);
I've used this code to add password for the pdf. it will ask for the password while opening the pdf
I have used FOP refer this document
FOUserAgent userAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
useragent.getRendererOptions().put("encryption-params", new PDFEncryptionParams(
null, "password", false, false, true, true));
Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, userAgent);

I am using iTextPdf for appending data to pdf but I want to save the modified file to a File object so that I can send that file to client server.
Code :
package doc;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.BaseFont;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfStamper;
public class Doc_demo {
public static void main(String args[]){
try {
//Create PdfReader instance.
PdfReader pdfReader =
new PdfReader("C:\\Users\\user1\\iTextPDFSamples\\user1\\SAMPLE_A071W471.pdf");
//Create PdfStamper instance.
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader,
new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\user1\\iTextPDFSamples\\user1\\ModifiedTestFile.pdf"));
//Create BaseFont instance.
BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.createFont(
BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN,
BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
//Get the number of pages in pdf.
int pages = pdfReader.getNumberOfPages();
//Iterate the pdf through pages.
for(int i=1; i<=1; i++) { //i<=pages
//Contain the pdf data.
PdfContentByte pageContentByte =
pdfStamper.getOverContent(i);
//Set text font and size.
pageContentByte.setFontAndSize(baseFont, 8);
pageContentByte.beginText();
pageContentByte.setTextMatrix(379, 615);
pageContentByte.showText("SN01234567890");
pageContentByte.endText();
pageContentByte.beginText();
pageContentByte.setTextMatrix(450, 615);
pageContentByte.showText("European Union");
pageContentByte.endText();
}
//Close the pdfStamper.
pdfStamper.close();
System.out.println("PDF modified successfully.");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Code works fine.
pdfStamper.close(); this line will save the modified file to the given location but how to convert it to File object.
Solved the issue :
File tempFile = File.createTempFile("Tempfile",".pdf");
created one tempfile and used this tempfile for pdfstamper's
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new FileOutputStream(tempFile));
This solved the issue.
I want to merge many PDF files into one using PDFBox and this is what I've done:
PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
for (String pdfFile: pdfFiles) {
PDDocument part = PDDocument.load(pdfFile);
List<PDPage> list = part.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
for (PDPage page: list) {
document.addPage(page);
}
part.close();
}
document.save("merged.pdf");
document.close();
Where pdfFiles is an ArrayList<String> containing all the PDF files.
When I'm running the above, I'm always getting:
org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.COSVisitorException: Bad file descriptor
Am I doing something wrong? Is there any other way of doing it?
Why not use the PDFMergerUtility of pdfbox?
PDFMergerUtility ut = new PDFMergerUtility();
ut.addSource(...);
ut.addSource(...);
ut.addSource(...);
ut.setDestinationFileName(...);
ut.mergeDocuments();
A quick Google search returned this bug: "Bad file descriptor while saving a document w. imported PDFs".
It looks like you need to keep the PDFs to be merged open, until after you have saved and closed the combined PDF.

If you want to combine two files where one overlays the other (example: document A is a template and document B has the text you want to put on the template), this works:
after creating "doc", you want to write your template (templateFile) on top of that -
PDDocument watermarkDoc = PDDocument.load(getServletContext()
.getRealPath(templateFile));
Overlay overlay = new Overlay();
overlay.overlay(watermarkDoc, doc);

Some background to this question can be found at Check printing with Java/JSP and Create a "print-only" PDF with itext
I have been able to successfully create and open a PDF with a print dialog using iText-2.0.8 and the following code:
String outputFile = "firstdoc.pdf";
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(outputFile));
writer.setOpenAction(new PdfAction(PdfAction.PRINTDIALOG));
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("TEST"));
document.close();
I have also been able to use flying-saucer to generate a PDF from XHTML using the following code:
String inputFile = "firstdoc.xhtml";
String url = new File(inputFile).toURI().toURL().toString();
String outputFile = "firstdoc.pdf";
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setDocument(url);
renderer.layout();
renderer.createPDF(os);
os.close();
However, I can't seem to get the two to work together...
I would like to create the PDF using flying-saucer as in the 2nd code block and I would like to set the open action of that PDF to PdfAction.PRINTDIALOG.
How can I get these two sets of code to work together such that a flying-saucer created PDF opens with a print dialog initially?
You can implement org.xhtmlrenderer.pdf.PDFCreationListener of flying saucer and write your print dialog related code in preWrite(ITextRenderer iTextRenderer, int pageCount) method.
#Override
public void preWrite(ITextRenderer iTextRenderer, int pageCount)
{
iTextRenderer.getOutputDevice().getWriter().setOpenAction(new PdfAction(PdfAction.PRINTDIALOG));
}
Add this listener in ITextRenderer
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setListener(PDFCreationListener implemetation class);
renderer.setDocumentFromString(htmlContent);
renderer.layout();
renderer.createPDF(os);
Hope this helps.
Figured it out...
In case someone else needs this in the future, you can just use PdfStamper to modify a PDF that has already been created.

String mergedFileName = "Merged.pdf";
mergePDFFiles(files, mergedFileName);
After calling mergePDFFiles, load merged file
File mergedFile = new File(mergedFileName);

If you want to combine two files where one overlays the other (example: document A is a template and document B has the text you want to put on the template), this works:
after creating "doc", you want to write your template (templateFile) on top of that -
PDDocument watermarkDoc = PDDocument.load(getServletContext()
.getRealPath(templateFile));
Overlay overlay = new Overlay();
overlay.overlay(watermarkDoc, doc);
Using iText (existing PDF in bytes)
public static byte[] mergePDF(List<byte[]> pdfFilesAsByteArray) throws DocumentException, IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Document document = null;
PdfCopy writer = null;
for (byte[] pdfByteArray : pdfFilesAsByteArray) {
try {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfByteArray);
int numberOfPages = reader.getNumberOfPages();
if (document == null) {
document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
writer = new PdfCopy(document, outStream); // new
document.open();
}
PdfImportedPage page;
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfPages;) {
++i;
page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
writer.addPage(page);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
document.close();
outStream.close();
return outStream.toByteArray();
}
