Member Function Documentation

virtual bool pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::Authorize ( Permission  p)
virtual

The method is called when a user tries to set security for an encrypted document and when a user tries to open a file. It must decide, based on the contents of the authorization data structure, whether or not the user is permitted to open the file, and what permissions the user has for this file.

Note
- This callback must not obtain the authorization data (e.g. by displaying a user interface into which a user can type a password). This is handled by the security handler's GetAuthorizationData(), which must be called before this callback. Instead, Authorize() should work with authorization data it has access to.
Parameters
p- permission to authorize
virtual void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::AuthorizeFailed ( )
virtual

A callback method indicating repeated failed authorization. Override this callback in order to provide a UI feedback for failed authorization. Default implementation returns immediately.

void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeMasterPassword ( const char *  password,
size_t  pwd_length 
)

Set the new master password to a binary string

Parameters
passwordthe new user password
Remarks
Deprecated. Use versions that accepts UString or buffer instead.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeMasterPassword ( const pdftron::UString password)

Sets the new master/owner password.

Parameters
passwordThe new master/owner password.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeMasterPassword ( const std::vector< pdftron::UInt8 > &  password_buf)

Sets the new master/owner password.

Parameters
password_bufThe new master/owner password.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeMasterPasswordASCII ( const char *  password)

Set the new master password to an ASCII text string

Parameters
passwordthe new master/owner password
Remarks
Deprecated. Use versions that accepts UString or buffer instead.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeRevisionNumber ( int  rev_num)

Change the revision number and the encryption algorithm of the standard security handler.

Parameters
rev_numthe new revision number of the standard security algorithm. Currently allowed values for the revision number are (see Table 3.18 in PDF Reference Manual v1.6 for more details):
  • 2 : Encryption using 40-bit RC4 algorithm.
  • 3 : Encryption using 128-bit RC4 algorithm. Available in PDF 1.4 and above.
  • 4 : Encryption using Crypt filters and 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm. Available in PDF 1.6 and above.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeUserPassword ( const char *  password,
size_t  pwd_length 
)

Set the new user password to a binary string

Parameters
passwordthe new user password
Remarks
Deprecated. Use versions that accepts UString or buffer instead.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeUserPassword ( const pdftron::UString password)

Sets the new user password.

Parameters
passwordThe new user password.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeUserPassword ( const std::vector< pdftron::UInt8 > &  password_buf)

Sets the new user password.

Parameters
password_bufThe new user password.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::ChangeUserPasswordASCII ( const char *  password)

Set the new user password to an ASCII text string

Parameters
passwordthe new user password
Remarks
Deprecated. Use versions that accepts UString or buffer instead..
virtual SecurityHandler* pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::Clone ( TRN_SecurityHandler  base) const
virtual
Returns
A new, cloned instance of SecurityHandler.
Note
this method must be implemented in any derived class from SecurityHandler.
virtual bool pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::EditSecurityData ( SDFDoc doc)
virtual

Called when the security handler should activate a dialog box with the current security settings that may be modified.

Returns
true if the operation was successful false otherwise.
virtual Obj pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::FillEncryptDict ( class SDFDoc doc)
virtual

Called when an encrypted document is saved. Fills the document's Encryption dictionary with whatever information the security handler wants to store in the document.

The sequence of events during creation of the encrypt_dict is as follows:

  • encrypt_dict is created (if it does not exist)
  • Filter attribute is added to the dictionary
  • call this method to allow the security handler to add its own attributes
  • call the GetCryptKey to get the algorithm version, key, and key length
  • checks if the V attribute has been added to the dictionary and, if not, then sets V to the algorithm version
  • set the Length attribute if V is 2 or greater
  • add the encrypt_dict to the document
Parameters
doc- The document to save.
Returns
- encrypt_dict
Warning
- Unlike all other strings and streams, direct object elements of the encrypt_dict are not encrypted automatically. If you want them encrypted, you must encrypt them before inserting them into the dictionary.
virtual bool pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetAuthorizationData ( Permission  req_opr)
virtual

This method is invoked in case Authorize() failed. The callback must determine the user's authorization properties for the document by obtaining authorization data (e.g. a password through a GUI dialog).

The authorization data is subsequently used by the security handler's Authorize() to determine whether or not the user is authorized to open the file.

Returns
false if the operation was canceled, true otherwise.
Parameters
req_opr- the permission for which authorization data is requested.
SecurityHandler* pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetDerived ( ) const
Returns
The derived class or NULL for standard security handler.
int pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetEncryptionAlgorithmID ( ) const
Returns
The encryption algorithm identifier. A code specifying the algorithm to be used in encrypting and decrypting the document. Returned number corresponds to V entry in encryption dictionary. Currently allowed values are from 0-4. See PDF Reference Manual for more details.
const char* pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetHandlerDocName ( ) const
Returns
The name of the security handler as it appears in the serialized file as the value of /Filter key in /Encrypt dictionary.
int pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetKeyLength ( ) const
Returns
The length of the encryption key in bytes.
Note
The returned key length is given in bytes.
const char* pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetMasterPassword ( )
Returns
Current master (owner) password.
size_t pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetMasterPasswordSize ( ) const
Returns
Length of the current owner password string. This has to be used when password is a non-ASCII string that may contain '\0' bytes.
bool pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetPermission ( Permission  p)
Returns
true if the SecurityHandler permits the specified action (Permission p) on the document, or false if the permission was not granted.
Parameters
pA Permission to be granted.
Note
in order to check for permission the method will repeatedly (up to three times) attempt to GetAuthorizationData() and Authorize() permission. If the permission is not granted AuthorizeFailed() callback will be called. This callback method allows derived class to provide UI feedback for failed authorization.
int pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetRevisionNumber ( )
Returns
the revision number of the standard security algorithm.
const char* pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetUserPassword ( )
Returns
Current user password.
size_t pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::GetUserPasswordSize ( ) const
Returns
Length of the current user password string. This has to be used when password is a non-ASCII string that may contain '\0' bytes.
void pdftron::SDF::SecurityHandler::InitPassword ( const char *  password,
size_t  pwd_length 
)

The method can be called in GetAuthorizationData() callback to specify user supplied non-ASCII password.

Remarks
Deprecated. Use versions that accepts UString or buffer instead.
