<static> createFromEncCode(name, key_len, enc_code)

Create a Standard Security Handler.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
name string The name of the Standard Security Handler.
key_len number The bit length of the encryption key (40 or 128 bit).

getEncryptionAlgorithmID()

Returns:
A promise that resolves to the encryption algorithm identifier. A code specifying the algorithm to be used in encrypting and decrypting the document. Returned number corresponds to V entry in encryption dictionary. Currently allowed values are from 0-4. See PDF Reference Manual for more details.
Type

A promise that resolves to the name of the security handler as it appears in the serialized file as the value of /Filter key in /Encrypt dictionary.
Type
Promise.<string>

getKeyLength()

Returns:
A promise that resolves to the length of the encryption key in bytes. Note: The returned key length is given in bytes.
Type
Promise.<number>

getPermission(p)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
p number 
PDFNet.SecurityHandler.Permission = {
	e_owner : 1
	e_doc_open : 2
	e_doc_modify : 3
	e_print : 4
	e_print_high : 5
	e_extract_content : 6
	e_mod_annot : 7
	e_fill_forms : 8
	e_access_support : 9
	e_assemble_doc : 10
}
A Permission to be granted. Note: in order to check for permission the method will repeatedly (up to three times) attempt to GetAuthorizationData() and Authorize() permission. If the permission is not granted AuthorizeFailed() callback will be called. This callback method allows derived class to provide UI feedback for failed authorization.
Returns:
A promise that resolves to true if the SecurityHandler permits the specified action (Permission p) on the document, or false if the permission was not granted.
Type
Promise.<boolean>

getRevisionNumber()

Returns:
A promise that resolves to the revision number of the standard security algorithm.
Type
Promise.<number>

initPassword(password)

the method can be called in GetAuthorizationData() callback to specify user supplied ASCII password.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
password string user supplied ASCII password
Returns:
Type

isModified()

Returns:
A promise that resolves to true if the SecurityHandler was modified (by calling SetModified()) or false otherwise. If the user changes SecurityHandler's settings (e.g. by changing a password), IsModified() should return true.

Promise.<boolean>

setEncryptMetadata(encrypt_metadata)

Indicates whether the document-level metadata stream is to be encrypted.

Returns:
Type
Promise.<void>

setPermission(perm, value)

Name Type Description
perm number 
PDFNet.SecurityHandler.Permission = {
	e_owner : 1
	e_doc_open : 2
