Hello everybody,
I came along a strange behaviour when saving a PDF with a UserPassword or OwnerPassword.
The protection itself works fine however the pdf outlines used as bookmarks are messed up afterwards.
The PDF is generated during runtime using the code from the wiki page ( CreateDocument() ) so I don't go further into that this post.
Here is my code for saving the PDF:
Code:
Document document = CreateDocument();
string mdddl = MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.IO.DdlWriter.WriteToString(document);
MigraDoc.Rendering.PdfDocumentRenderer renderer = new MigraDoc.Rendering.PdfDocumentRenderer();
renderer.Document = document;
renderer.RenderDocument();
var pdfSharpDoc = renderer.PdfDocument;
for (int pageCounter = 0; pageCounter < pdfSharpDoc.PageCount; pageCounter++)
{
pdfSharpDoc.Outlines.Add("Page " + (pageCounter + 1), pdfSharpDoc.Pages[pageCounter]);
}
//adding protection if wanted
if (chkProtect.Checked == true)
{
pdfSharpDoc.SecuritySettings.UserPassword = txtbPassword.Text;
}
//Saving the PDF document
pdfSharpDoc.Save(filename);
I attached two images showing the same document once saved with protection and one saved without.
Note that if I let the program generate the pdf with protection several times the characters shown in the outlines / bookmarks change.
I already tested:
- First set the protection and then setting the outlines
- Using OwnerPassword instead of UserPassword
- Using Owner and UserPassword
- Using the wiki page protect PDF using the PdfDocument document = PdfReader.Open(filenameDest, "some text"); and saving it again
but the result was the same.
Can someone explain this behaviour and give me a hint solving it?
Thank you very much!
