PdfPublicKeyDecryptionHandler(X509Certificate2)

Creates a new decryption handler with the specified certificate.

public PdfPublicKeyDecryptionHandler(X509Certificate2 certificate)

Parameters

certificate X509Certificate2

The certificate to use to decrypt a document.

Remarks

The certificate must be marked exportable. If it is not, then an instance of PdfException will be thrown.

To decrypt a document, the certificate should match a recipient specified in the document recipients collection. If the certificate does not match a recipient, an instance of CannotDecryptPdfException will be thrown later when the handler is used to decrypt a document.

The permissions for the decrypted document might vary, depending on the certificate.

PdfPublicKeyDecryptionHandler(string, string)

Creates a new decryption handler using the specified key store file.

public PdfPublicKeyDecryptionHandler(string keyStorePath, string password)

Parameters

keyStorePath string

The path to the PFX / PKCS #12 key store file.

public PdfPublicKeyDecryptionHandler(X509Store store)

Parameters

store X509Store

In case there are no matching certificates in certificate store, an instance of CannotDecryptPdfException will be thrown when the handler is used to decrypt a document.

Any certificate not marked as exportable is ignored during the search for a matching certificate.

The permissions for the decrypted document might vary, depending on the matching certificate.
