Encrypt PDF using Cloud .NET SDK
using Aspose.Pdf.Cloud.Sdk.Api;
using Aspose.Pdf.Cloud.Sdk.Model;
namespace EncryptDecrypt
{
public class EncryptPdf
{
private string ToBase64(string str)
{ // Convert string to Base64.
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str);
return Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);
}
public static async Task Encrypt(EncryptDecryptHelper helper, string documentName, string outputName, string localFolder, string remoteFolder)
{ // Get your AppSid and AppSecret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud (free registration required).
pdfApi = new PdfApi(AppSecret, AppSid);
using (var file = File.OpenRead(Path.Combine(localFolder, documentName)))
{ // Upload the local encrypted PDF to cloud storage folder name.
FilesUploadResult uploadResponse = await pdfApi.UploadFileAsync(Path.Combine(remoteFolder, documentName), documentName);
Console.WriteLine(uploadResponse.Uploaded[0]);
}
string userPassword = "User-Password";
string ownerPassword = "Owner-Password";
// Encrypt the PDF on cloud storage.
AsposeResponse response = await pdfApi.PostEncryptDocumentInStorageAsync(
documentName,
ToBase64(userPassword),
ToBase64(ownerPassword),
CryptoAlgorithm.AESx256.ToString(),
folder: remoteFolder);
// Checks the response and logs the result.
if (response == null)
Console.WriteLine("EncryptPdf(): Unexpected error!");
else if (response.Code < 200 || response.Code > 299)
Console.WriteLine("EncryptPdf(): Failed to encrypt document.");
else
{ // Downloads the updated file for local use.
Console.WriteLine("EncryptPdf(): document '{0} successfully encrypted.", documentName);
Stream stream = pdfApi.DownloadFile(Path.Combine(remoteFolder, documentName));
using var fileStream = File.Create(Path.Combine(localFolder, "encrypt_" + outputName));
stream.Position = 0;
await stream.CopyToAsync(fileStream);
Console.WriteLine("EncryptPdf(): File '{0}' successfully downloaded.", "encrypt_" + outputName);
}
}
}
