Get Document Privileges

Get document privileges

Use PdfFileInfo.getDocumentPrivilege() to inspect what operations the current PDF allows.

Steps

1. Create a PdfFileInfo object for the input PDF.
2. Call getDocumentPrivilege() to retrieve the privilege set.
3. Read the relevant boolean flags from the returned DocumentPrivilege object.
4. Close the PdfFileInfo instance when finished.

Java example

public static void getDocumentPrivileges(Path inputFile) {
    PdfFileInfo pdfInfo = new PdfFileInfo(inputFile.toString());
    DocumentPrivilege privileges = pdfInfo.getDocumentPrivilege();

    System.out.println("Document Privileges:");
    System.out.println("  Can Print: " + privileges.isAllowPrint());
    System.out.println("  Can Degraded Print: " + privileges.isAllowDegradedPrinting());
    System.out.println("  Can Copy: " + privileges.isAllowCopy());
    System.out.println("  Can Modify Contents: " + privileges.isAllowModifyContents());
    System.out.println("  Can Modify Annotations: " + privileges.isAllowModifyAnnotations());
    System.out.println("  Can Fill In: " + privileges.isAllowFillIn());
    System.out.println("  Can Screen Readers: " + privileges.isAllowScreenReaders());
    System.out.println("  Can Assembly: " + privileges.isAllowAssembly());
    pdfInfo.close();
