I open an existing pdf. Checking for protection and ask for password if it is protected and open it with:
PdfReader pdfReader = null;
Stream outputStream = null;
PdfStamper pdfStamper = null;
try
{
pdfReader = GetPdfReaderObject();
outputStream = new FileStream(filePathDestination, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None);
pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, outputStream);
PdfLayer layer = new PdfLayer("watermark", pdfStamper.Writer);
for (int pageIndex = 1; pageIndex <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; pageIndex++) {
pdfStamper.FormFlattening = false;
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle pageRectangle = pdfReader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(pageIndex);
PdfContentByte pdfData = pdfStamper.GetOverContent(pageIndex);
pdfData.BeginLayer(layer);
PdfGState graphicsState = new PdfGState();
graphicsState.FillOpacity = 0.5F;
pdfData.SetGState(graphicsState);
pdfData.BeginText();
iTextSharp.text.Image watermarkImage = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(watermarkImagePath), ImageFormat.Png);
float width = pageRectangle.Width;
float height = pageRectangle.Height;
watermarkImage.SetAbsolutePosition(width / 2 - watermarkImage.Width / 2, height / 2 - watermarkImage.Height / 2);
pdfData.AddImage(watermarkImage);
pdfData.EndText();
pdfData.EndLayer();
}
}
pdfStamper.Close();
outputStream.Close();
outputStream.Dispose();
pdfReader.Close();
pdfReader.Dispose();
} catch (Exception e) {
....
}
}
After my modifications I save it but the protection is destroyed.
Why the protection is destroyed?
How can I save the protection from the origin document und add it to my modified one.

You use a PdfStamper to manipulate an existing PDF.
For any source PDF: If you want the result to be encrypted, you may use the SetEncryption method appropriately.
Have a look at the EncryptionPdf.cs, especially its method EncryptPdf:
PdfReader reader = ...;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, ms))
{
stamper.SetEncryption(
USER, OWNER,
PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING,
PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128 | PdfWriter.DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA
);
}
return ms.ToArray();
}
Here USER and OWNER are the user and owner passwords of your choice. You might want to use a different set of permissions.
For already encrypted source PDFs you may alternatively choose to use the PdfStamper in append mode (i.e. use a PdfStamper constructor with a bool append parameter set to true). In that case the original encryption will also be applied to the updated PDF.
Which version of iText are you using?
When a password protected PDF was opened using the owner password and manipulated by PdfStamper, all original password protection was indeed removed. This changed in iText 5.3.5. See the changelog:
Important: we now keep the original owner password when stamping a document.
In other words: with all iText versions prior to 5.3.5, the owner password is lost. Starting with 5.3.5, it should be kept.

Here is a PDF file that requires a password to open, and I added an electronic signature to it. A password is still required to open the file after this. But after I use AcroFields.RemoveField to remove the electronic signature, a password is no longer required to open the file. Is this normal? How can I keep the password when opening the PDF file?
test pdf
https://github.com/IYinxf/PDFs/blob/master/Encrypted.pdf
password is 11111111
code
pdfReader = new PdfReader(strTempPath, Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strPassword));
if (!pdfReader.IsOpenedWithFullPermissions)
{
return ERR_PERMISSION_DENIED;
}
AcroFields af = pdfReader.AcroFields;
bool rv = af.RemoveField(fieldName);
According to the code responsible for keeping encryption information
if (reader.IsEncrypted() && (append || PdfReader.unethicalreading)) {
crypto = new PdfEncryption(reader.Decrypt);
}
(PdfStamperImp constructor)
this only happens if you are stamping in append mode or if the unethicalreading flag is set.
When testing your code in append mode, it turns out that the field is not removed. This is caused by the AcroFields field removal code not properly marking the correct updated objects in your PDF as used. When you do the marking manually, it works fine:
using (var pdfReader = new PdfReader(file, Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strPassword)))
using (FileStream output = new FileStream(outputFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
using (PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, output, '\0', true))
{
AcroFields af = pdfReader.AcroFields;
bool rv = af.RemoveField(fieldName);
pdfStamper.MarkUsed(pdfReader.Catalog);
for (int pageNo = 1; pageNo <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; pageNo++)
{
pdfStamper.MarkUsed(pdfReader.GetPageN(pageNo));
}
}
Testing with the unethicalreading flag set to true works out-of-the-box:
PdfReader.unethicalreading = true;
using (var pdfReader = new PdfReader(file, Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strPassword)))
using (FileStream output = new FileStream(outputFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
using (PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, output))
{
AcroFields af = pdfReader.AcroFields;
bool rv = af.RemoveField(fieldName);
}
I am reading and writing to the same PDF at the same time i am getting error "The document has no catalog object (meaning: it's an invalid PDF)" on this line "PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(inputPdf2);" in the below code snippet.

please help me in order to fix issue or give me any alternate approach
In your first loop you overwrite each of your files with a manipulated version like this:
var bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(inputPdf1);
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(bytes);
fileStream = new FileStream(inputPdf1, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write);
var stamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, fileStream);
[...]
Using FileMode.Open here is an error. You want to replace the existing file with a new one, and for such a use case you have to use FileMode.Create or FileMode.Truncate.
Using FileMode.Open results in the original file content remaining there and you writing into it. Thus, if your new file content is shorter than the original one (which can happen when flattening a form), your new file keeps a tail segment of the original file. In PDFs there are relevant lookup information at the end, so upon reading this new file the PdfReader finds the lookup information of the old file which don't match the new content anymore at all.
By the way, you create the PdfCopy like this:
fileStream = new FileStream(finalPDFFile, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
pdfCopy = new PdfCopy(finalPDF, fileStream);
This is wrong for the same reason: If there already is PDF there, FileMode.OpenOrCreate works just like FileMode.Open with the unwanted effects described above.
Thus, you should replace the FileMode values for streams you write to with FileMode.Create.
I have an XFA enabled PDF document that I would like to fill out programatically. I'm using C# and iTextSharp 5.5.12.0
The document is password protected so I set PdfReader.unethicalreading = true;
The file I'm working with is the N-400.
The filled document has the fields set properly when I view it in Adobe Acrobat Reader. But if I open it in a browser (say IE or Chrome) the fields are empty.
I am opening the file in append mode.
Here's my code (SRC, XML and DEST are strings with full paths to the files).
using (FileStream pdf = new FileStream(SRC, FileMode.Open))
using (FileStream xml = new FileStream(XML, FileMode.Open))
using (FileStream filledPdf = new FileStream(DEST, FileMode.Create))
{
PdfReader.unethicalreading = true;
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdf);
pdfReader.RemoveUsageRights();
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, filledPdf, '\0', true);
string[] fields = stamper.AcroFields.Fields.Select(x => x.Key).ToArray();
for (int key = 0; key <= fields.Count() - 1; key++)
{
stamper.AcroFields.SetFieldProperty(fields[key], "setfflags", PdfFormField.FF_READ_ONLY, null);
}
stamper.Writer.CloseStream = false;
stamper.AcroFields.Xfa.FillXfaForm(xml);
stamper.Close();
pdfReader.Close();
}
i am trying to add an image using itextsharp but not having any luck
there are a ton of tutorials for adding an image to a new pdf doc but not and existing pdf so the .add menthod is not avaivlable
i am tring to do use the stamper write method to add image
and i dont get any errors but no image shows up
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfIn); //get pdf
if (File.Exists(pdfOut)) File.Delete(pdfOut); //reset
FileStream fs = new FileStream(pdfOut, FileMode.Create);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, fs);
try
{
// Convert base64string to bytes array
Byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64decode);
iTextSharp.text.Image sigimage = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(bytes);//
sigimage.SetAbsolutePosition(10, 10);
sigimage.ScaleToFit(140f, 120f);
stamper.Writer.Add(sigimage);
}catch (DocumentException dex){//log exception here
}catch (IOException ioex){//log exception here
}
AcroFields fields = stamper.AcroFields;
//repeat for each pdf form fill field
fields.SetField("agencyName", name.Value);
stamper.FormFlattening = true; // set to true to lock pdf from being editable
stamper.Writer.CloseStream = true;
stamper.Close();
reader.Close();
fs.Close();
I think you try the following adding it to bytes
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfIn)
FileStream fs = new FileStream(pdfOut, FileMode.Create);
var stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, fs);
var pdfContentByte = stamper.GetOverContent(1);
iTextSharp.text.Image sigimage = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(bytes);
sigimage.SetAbsolutePosition(100, 100);
pdfContentByte.AddImage(sigimage);
using following code you can able to add image to each page in an existing pdf file. ( I use this code for desktop application)
string FileLocation = #"C:\\test\\pdfFileName.pdf"; // file path of pdf file
var uri = new Uri(#"pack://application:,,,/projrct_name;component/View/Icons/funnelGreen.png"); // use image from project/application folder (this image will insert to pdf)
var resourceStream = Application.GetResourceStream(uri).Stream;
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(FileLocation);
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new FileStream(FileLocation.Replace(".pdf", "(tempFile).pdf"), FileMode.Create));iTextSharp.text.Image img = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(resourceStream), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
img.SetAbsolutePosition(125, 350); // set the position in the document where you want the watermark to appear.
img.ScalePercent(35f);// not neccessory, use if you want to adjust image
img.ScaleToFit(140f, 100f); // not neccessory, use if you want to adjust image
PdfContentByte waterMark;
for (int page = 1; page <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; page++) // for loop will add image to each page. Based on the condition you can add image to single page also
{
waterMark = stamp.GetOverContent(page);
waterMark.AddImage(img);
}
stamp.FormFlattening = true;
stamp.Close();// closing the pdfStamper, the order of closing must be important
pdfReader.Close();
File.Delete(FileLocation);
File.Move(FileLocation.Replace(".pdf", "(tempFile).pdf"), FileLocation);
I want to convert an image to PDF and add a watermark to it. I used iTextSharp to convert it. I successfully converted the image file to pdf but I'm not able to add watermark to it without creating another pdf file.
The code below creates a PDF file and also adds custom attributes,
function watermarkpdf is used to add watermark and pdfname is given as the arguement
foreach (string filenm in Images)
using (var imageStream = new FileStream(filenm, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
doc.NewPage();
iTextSharp.text.Image jpeg = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(filenm);
float width = doc.PageSize.Width;
float height = doc.PageSize.Height;
jpeg.ScaleToFit(width,height);
doc.Add(jpeg);
}
doc.AddHeader("name", "vijay");
watermarkpdf(pdfname);
The watermarkpdf function is given below.
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(txtpath.Text+"\\pdf\\" + pdfname);
FileStream stream = new FileStream(txtpath.Text + pdfname,FileMode.Open);
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, stream);
for (int pageIndex = 1; pageIndex <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; pageIndex++)
{
Rectangle pageRectangle = pdfReader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(pageIndex);
PdfContentByte pdfData = pdfStamper.GetUnderContent(pageIndex);
pdfData.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA_BOLD, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED), 40);
PdfGState graphicsState = new PdfGState();
graphicsState.FillOpacity = 0.4F;
pdfData.SetGState(graphicsState);
pdfData.SetColorFill(BaseColor.BLUE);
pdfData.BeginText();
pdfData.ShowTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "SRO-Kottarakkara", pageRectangle.Width / 2, pageRectangle.Height / 2, 45);
pdfData.EndText();
}
pdfStamper.Close();
stream.Close();
iTextSharp doesn't support "in-place editing" of files, only reading existing files and creating new files. The problem is that it would have to write to something that is being written to which could be very problematic.
However, instead of using a file you can create your image in a MemoryStream, grab the bytes from that and pipe that to the PdfReader, all with minimal changes to your code. All of the PDF writing functions that take files actually work with the abstract Stream class and which MemoryStream inherits from so they can be used interchangeably. Below is some basic code that should show you what I'm talking about. I don't have an IDE currently so there might be a typo or two but for the most part it should work.
//Image part
//We will dump the bytes from the memory stream to the variable below later
byte[] bytes;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()){
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms);
doc.Open();
//foreach (string filenm in Images)
//...
doc.Close();
//Dump the bytes, make sure to use ToArray() and not GetBuffer()
bytes = ms.ToArray();
}
//Watermark part
//Read from our bytes
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(bytes);
FileStream stream = new FileStream(txtpath.Text + pdfname,FileMode.Open);
//...
