THotPDF.EnablePubKeyEncryption

THotPDF

 

Methods  Next  CryptKeyLength

Switches document encryption to the PDF public-key security handler.

 

Delphi syntax:

procedure EnablePubKeyEncryption(const Seed: AnsiString; KeyType: THPDFKeyType = aes128; EncryptMetadata: Boolean = true);

 

C++ syntax:

void __fastcall EnablePubKeyEncryption(System::AnsiString Seed, THPDFKeyType KeyType, bool EncryptMetadata);

 

Description

EnablePubKeyEncryption emits an /Encrypt dictionary using /Filter /Adobe.PubSec. HotPDF handles the symmetric file encryption and PDF algorithm 9 key derivation, while the caller supplies the random seed and one externally built PKCS#7 envelopedData blob per recipient.

 

Use AddPubKeyRecipient after this method for each recipient. Set ActivateProtection to true before writing the document. The supported KeyType values are k40, k128, and aes128; AES-256 public-key encryption is not implemented.
