All the privileges related properties are of Boolean types and can be controlled by setting to true or false. These above methods allow developers to restrict or allow annotations modification, contents modification, copying the content, degraded printing, document assembling, form filling, printing the pages and screen readers.

Set Privileges on the PDF Documents

//Instantiate Pdf object by calling its empty constructor


Pdf pdf1 = new Pdf();

//Assign a security instance to Pdf object


pdf1.setSecurity( new Security() );

//Restrict annotation modification


pdf1.getSecurity().setIsAnnotationsModifyingAllowed(false);

//Restrict contents modification


pdf1.getSecurity().setIsContentsModifyingAllowed(false);

//Restrict copying the data


pdf1.getSecurity().setIsCopyingAllowed(false);

//Allow to print the document


pdf1.getSecurity().setIsPrintingAllowed(true);

//Restrict form filling


pdf1.getSecurity().setIsFormFillingAllowed(false);

//Add a section in the Pdf


Section sec1 = pdf1.getSections().add();

//Create a text paragraph


Text text1 = new Text(sec1,"this is text content");

//Set the top maring of text paragraph to 30


text1.getMargin().setTop(30);

//Add the text paragraph to the section


sec1.getParagraphs().add(text1);

// Save the Pdf


FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(new File(...));


pdf1.save(fileOut);

XML Code
