Thomas Chojecki commented on PDFBOX-1228:
-----------------------------------------

I never test it, but what happen if you just add the encryption password as george posted. As <owner password> just use an empty string, so that it would look like this new StandardDecryptionMaterial("").

If this will help, you can try to ask the pddocument if it is encrypted and try to open it with the empty string. if this fail, throw an exception and inform the user the document is protected and could not be decrypted.

On the other hand, the pdfbox shouldn't destroy documents if the user use the save method on encrypted documents without decrypting it.I would prefere to open the issue and do some check while saving a document. better throw an exception and inform the user that something is going wrong while saving so that he has a chance to react (eg. in unit tests).

> I have a file (attached) that when loaded with PDocument.load and then saved to another location simply saves as a blank PDF.  The number of pages is correct, but when opened in Acrobat, all the page names are corrupted and the pages are blank.
> Here's the code:
>         PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load("/home/jnankin/Desktop/in.pdf");
>         doc.save("/home/jnankin/Desktop/out.pdf");
>         doc.close();
> Please advise.
