| <title>Overview</title> |
| <warning>PDF Encryption is available in Release 0.20.5 and later. The comments on this page do not apply to releases earlier than 0.20.5.</warning> |
| <p> |
| FOP supports encryption of PDF output, thanks to Patrick |
| C. Lankswert. This feature is commonly used to prevent |
| unauthorized viewing, printing, editing, copying text from the |
| document and doing annotations. It is also possible to ask the |
| user for a password in order to view the contents. Note that |
| there already exist third party applications which can decrypt |
| an encrypted PDF without effort and allow the aforementioned |
| operations, therefore the degree of protection is limited. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For further information about features and restrictions regarding PDF |
| encryption, look at the documentation coming with Adobe Acrobat or the |
| technical documentation on the Adobe web site. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| <section> |
| <title>Usage (command line)</title> |
| <p> |
| Encryption is enabled by supplying any of the encryption related |
| options. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| An owner password is set with the <code>-o</code> option. This |
| password is actually used as encryption key. Many tools for |
| PDF processing ask for this password to disregard any |
| restriction imposed on the PDF document. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If no owner password has been supplied but FOP was asked to apply some |
| restrictions, a random password is used. In this case it is obviously |
| impossiible to disregard restrictions in PDF processing tools. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A user password, supplied with the <code>-u</code> option, will |
| cause the PDF display software to ask the reader for this password in |
| order to view the contents of the document. If no user password was |
| supplied, viewing the content is not restricted. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Further restrictions can be imposed by using the <code>-noprint</code>, |
| <code>-nocopy</code>, <code>-noedit</code> and |
| <code>-noannotations</code> options, which disable printing, copying |
| text, editing in Adobe Acrobat and making annotations, respectively. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| <section> |
| <title>Usage (embedded)</title> |
| <p> |
| When FOP is embedded in another Java application you need to set an |
| options map on the renderer. These are the supported options: |
| </p> |
| <table> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Option</th> |
| <th>Description</th> |
| <th>Values</th> |
| <th>Default</th> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>ownerPassword</td> |
| <td>The owner password</td> |
| <td>String</td> |
| <td/> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>userPassword</td> |
| <td>The user password</td> |
| <td>String</td> |
| <td/> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>allowPrint</td> |
| <td>Allows/disallows printing of the PDF</td> |
| <td>"TRUE" or "FALSE"</td> |
| <td>"TRUE"</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>allowCopyContent</td> |
| <td>Allows/disallows copy/paste of content</td> |
| <td>"TRUE" or "FALSE"</td> |
| <td>"TRUE"</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>allowEditContent</td> |
| <td>Allows/disallows editing of content</td> |
| <td>"TRUE" or "FALSE"</td> |
| <td>"TRUE"</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>allowEditAnnotations</td> |
| <td>Allows/disallows editing of annotations</td> |
| <td>"TRUE" or "FALSE"</td> |
| <td>"TRUE"</td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| <note> |
| Encryption is enabled as soon as one of these options is set. |
| </note> |
| <p> |
| An example to enable PDF encryption in Java code: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| Driver driver = new Driver(); |
| driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF); |
| Map rendererOptions = new java.util.HashMap(); |
| rendererOptions.put("ownerPassword", "mypassword"); |
| rendererOptions.put("allowCopyContent", "FALSE"); |
| rendererOptions.put("allowEditContent", "FALSE"); |
| rendererOptions.put("allowPrint", "FALSE"); |
| driver.getRenderer().setOptions(rendererOptions); |
| driver.setOutputStream(...]]></source> |

| <title>Environment</title> |
| <p> |
| In order to use PDF encryption, FOP has to be compiled with |
| cryptography support. Currently, only <link |
| href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html">JCE</link> |
| is supported. JCE is part of JDK 1.4. For earlier JDKs, it can |
| be installed separately. The build process automatically |
| detects JCE presence and installs PDF encryption support if |
| possible, otherwise a stub is compiled in. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Cryptography support must also be present at run time. In particular, a |
| provider for the RC4 cipher is needed. Unfortunately, the sample JCE |
| provider in Sun's JDK 1.4 does <strong>not</strong> provide RC4. If you |
| get a message saying |
| </p> |
| <source>"Cannot find any provider supporting RC4"</source> |
| <p> |
| then you don't have the needed infrastructure. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| There are several commercial and a few Open Source packages which |
| provide RC4. A pure Java implementation is produced by <link |
| href="http://www.bouncycastle.org/">The Legion of the Bouncy |
| Castle</link>. <link |
| href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/jss/">Mozilla |
| JSS</link> is an interface to a native implementation. |

| <title>Installing a crypto provider</title> |
| <p> |
| The pure Java implementation from <link |
| href="http://www.bouncycastle.org/">Bouncy Castle</link> is easy to |
| install. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Download the binary distribution for your JDK version. If you have JDK |
| 1.3 or earlier you must also download a JCE from the same page. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Unpack the distribution. Add the jar file to your classpath. A |
| convenient way to use the jar on Linux is to simply drop it into the |
| FOP lib directory, it will be automatically picked up by |
| <code>fop.sh</code>. If you have JDK 1.3 or earlier don't forget to |
| install the JCE as well. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Open the <code>java.security</code> file and add<br/> |
| <code>security.provider.6=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider</code>,<br/> |
| preferably at the end of the block defining the other crypto |
| providers. For JDK 1.4 this is detailed on <link href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html#InstallProvider">Sun's web site</link>. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| If you have any experience with Mozilla JSS or any other |
| cryptography provider, please post it to the fop-user list. |
