remove encryption from pdf with pdfbox, like qpdf

问题

With qpdf, you can simply remove restrictions/encryption from a pdf like so:

qpdf --decrypt infile outfile

I would like to do the same thing with PDFBox in Java:

PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(inputFilename);
if( doc.isEncrypted() )
{
   //remove the encryption to alter the document
}

I've tried this with StandardDecryptionMaterial, but I have no idea what the owner password is. How does qpdf do this?

This is what you'd need to do. Inspired from the PDFBox WriteDecodedDoc tool. You may have to include the bouncycastle jar (http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html)

    if (doc.isEncrypted()) {
        try {
            doc.decrypt("");
            doc.setAllSecurityToBeRemoved(true);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            throw new Exception("The document is encrypted, and we can't decrypt it.", e);
        }
    }
