I have a lending system where users will be required to upload financial statement when applying for a loan. There are customers whose statements are sent by financial institution having password encryption know to them only. Now the goal here is to have a script php/nodejs that can decrypt or get pdf content from the encypted document and output a new pdf document or any readable format that is not encrypted for use by the lending institution.
I am not sure if PDFTron has the capability to decrypt a pdf document that requires user to input password to make it readable. I’ m using windows 10 platform, to achieve what i want, I have tried to implement code sample for nodejs/javascript provided in your document. Unfortunately, I’m getting undefined node pop up window with “Assertion Failed” Error. Please advice on the way forward. Any assistance will be appreciated.
Please Check My Code Below:-
const express = require(“express”);
//const bodyParser = require(“body-parser”);
const app = express();
const cors = require(‘cors’);
require(‘dotenv’).config();
const { PDFNet } = require(’@pdftron/pdfnet-node’);
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
const main = async () =>{
const doc = await PDFNet.PDFDoc.create();
const page = await doc.pageCreate();
doc.pagePushBack(page);
doc.save('blank.pdf', PDFNet.SDFDoc.SaveOptions.e_linearized);
}
const removeDocSec = async() =>{
let ret = 0;
let securedDoc = null;
try {
securedDoc = await PDFNet.PDFDoc.createFromURL('example.pdf');
if (!(await securedDoc.initSecurityHandler())) {
let success = false;
console.log("The password has been set to : 'test'");
const passwordsToTry = ['32909210', 'testy', 'test'];
for (let count = 0; count < passwordsToTry.length; count++) {
const candidate = passwordsToTry[count];
console.log("Trying password candidate: '" + candidate + "'");
if (await securedDoc.initStdSecurityHandlerUString(candidate)) {
success = true;
console.log('The password is correct');
break;
} else {
console.log('The password is incorrect.');
}
}
if (!success) {
console.log('Document authentication error...');
ret = 1;
return ret;
}
}
securedDoc.lock();
console.log('PDF document initialized and locked');
const hdlr = await securedDoc.getSecurityHandler();
console.log('Document Open Password: ' + (await hdlr.isUserPasswordRequired()));
console.log('Permissions Password: ' + (await hdlr.isMasterPasswordRequired()));
console.log('Permissions: ');
console.log("\tHas 'owner' permissions: " + (await hdlr.getPermission(PDFNet.SecurityHandler.Permission.e_owner)));

console.log('done');
} catch ({err}) {
console.log(err);

}
return ret;
}
