# Create a PdfDocument object
doc = PdfDocument()

# Load a sample PDF file
doc.LoadFromFile("input.pdf")

# Encrypt the PDF file with an open password and a permission password
doc.Security.Encrypt("openPsd", "permissionPsd", PdfPermissionsFlags.FillFields, PdfEncryptionKeySize.Key128Bit)

# Save the result file
doc.SaveToFile("output/Encrypted.pdf", FileFormat.PDF)

Extract Text from PDF Documents

from spire.pdf.common import *
from spire.pdf import *

def WriteAllText(fname:str,text:List[str]):
        fp = open(fname,"w")
        for s in text:
            fp.write(s)
        fp.close()

inputFile = "./Demos/Data/PDFTemplate-Az.pdf"
outputFile = "ExtractTextFromParticularPage_out.txt"


doc = PdfDocument()
# Read a pdf file
doc.LoadFromFile(inputFile)
# Get the first page
page = doc.Pages[0]
