Xamarin - Decrypting PDFs not supported?

I am using Syncfusion PDF library in my Xamarin project and I am trying to decrypt a PDF using the user password and I keep getting: System.NotSupportedException: Encrypted Document are currently not supported. All I do is:

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(byteArray, "userPassword");

I can understand the meaning of the exception, but I was just wondering if there is any way of doing what I need to do.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Encrypted PDF are not supported on WinRT, Windows Phone, Xamarin, Universal Windows Platform and Silverlight

    public PdfLoadedDocument( 
   string filename,
   string password
)

    Remarks

    This constructor is not supported in WinRT, Windows Phone, Xamarin, Universal Windows Platform and Silverlight
