We won't add those changes as PDFBox respects the security settings of a pdf.

> Hi team,
> Technically, we can do extract text from "Owner" password protected pdf file 
> without specifing "owner" password. Right?
> Do we should be able to do that ? or not.
> The reason why I'm asking is I am using the PDFBox for audting the content 
> of the pdf file.
> So, whether the user want to make "text extract" permission disabled or not, 
> I need to look into the content of the "owner password" protected pdf file.
> Old PDFbox could do this.
> What do you think?
