Viewing encrypted linearised (fast web view) PDF

[Glen Davies]

Hi

I have webviewer working with large linearised pdf, and it works as expected. However some of the PDFs are password encrypted. With these ones webviewer prompts for the password ok, and in the background issues all the byte range requests, but when the password has been entered all the document pages just show the loading spinner icon.

If I save these documents with fast web view turned off then webviewer prompts for password and displays the document fine - but of course without any byte range loading.

Is it at all possible for webviewer to handle encrypted linearised pdfs?

Also, is it possible to hand a password to webviewer rather than have the user enter it?

Thanks

Glen

Hi Glen,

Thanks for the report, we've been able to reproduce the issue and are currently investigating. We'll let you know when we have more information.

Hi Glen,

Here is a build that should fix the issue: http://www.pdftron.com/ID-zJWLuhTffd3c/WebViewer/WebViewer_2.2.1.52425.zip

Great - seems to be working fine with that build. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

Hi

As mentioned this build fixed the issue with encrypted linearized pdfs, but the loading of PDFNet.js has changed in this build which has broken some of our other setup. 

We are initializing PDFNet in config.js after we get a documentLoaded event with  PDFNet.initialize().then(...

This was possible it seems as in the previous build ControlUtils.js loads PDFNet.js with

files.unshift("pdf/PDFNet.js");

at around line 200, but this is gone from this new build, and also PDFNet.js does not exist in pdf folder of new build.  

How can we include PDFNet.js and initialise it with this new build?

Thanks

Hi Glen,

It looks like you're using the full build and I had sent you the lean build. Here's a link to the full build which will have PDFNet.js http://www.pdftron.com/ID-zJWLuhTffd3c/WebViewer/PDFNetJSFull_2.2.1.52904.zip
