pdf_protect.go

/*
 * Protects PDF files by setting a password on it. This example both sets user
 * and opening password and hard-codes the protection bits here, but easily adjusted
 * in the code here although not on the command line.
 *
 * The user-pass is a password required to view the file with the access specified by certain permission flags (specified
 * in the code example below), whereas the owner pass is needed to have full access to the file.
 * See pdf_check_permissions.go for an example about checking the permissions for a given PDF file.
 *
 * If anyone is supposed to be able to read the PDF under the given access restrictions, then the user password should
 * be left empty ("").
 *
 * Run as: go run pdf_protect.go input.pdf <user-pass> <owner-pass> output.pdf
 * Sets a user and owner password for the PDF.
