Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require devraeph/laravel-pdf-protect

Usage

Version 3.x

In version 3.x the usage supports now multiple Storage support local, s3, ...

PDFPasswordProtect::setInputFile('pdf/LetterFormat.pdf','local|s3|...')
    ->setOutputFile('pdf/encrypted-123.pdf','local|s3|...')
    ->setPassword("1234")
    ->secure();

OLD Version 2.x

In version 2.x the usage is more common to use and simplified.

$inputFile = storage_path('pdf/LetterFormat.pdf');
$outputFile = storage_path('pdf/encrypted-123.pdf');

PDFPasswordProtect::setInputFile($inputFile)
    ->setOutputFile($outputFile)
    ->setPassword("1234")
    ->secure();

You can also add the optional method 'setOwnerPassword':

...

PDFPasswordProtect::setInputFile($inputFile)
    ...
    ->setOwnerPassword("1234")
    ->secure();

Alternative new options are: 'setMode' and 'setFormat'.

setFormat is default 'auto' and will now detect the document format. Before v2.x it was set to 'A4'.

PDFPasswordProtect::setInputFile($inputFile)
...
->setMode("en_GB") //You can set different language values. Default is utf-8
->setFormat("auto|A4|Letter") //You can set a Document format. Default is auto.
->secure();

Version 1.x

You can also use the old version from v1.x in v2.x, but it is deprecated and will no longer get any updates.

PdfPasswordProtect::encrypt(storage_path('pdf/document.pdf'),storage_path('pdf/'.'encrypted-documented.pdf'),'janedoe');

Encrypt method in detail

• $inputFile and $outputFile has to be a path like storage_path("pdf/document.pdf")

PdfPasswordProtect::encrypt($inputFile,$outputFile,$password)

The final file will be located in storage/pdf as encrypted-document.pdf
