EncryptionAlgorithm Property

The encryption algorithm to encrypt the document with.

Syntax

 pdfencryptor.getEncryptionAlgorithm([callback])
 pdfencryptor.setEncryptionAlgorithm( encryptionAlgorithm, [callback])

Default Value

"AES256"

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getEncryptionAlgorithm([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setEncryptionAlgorithm([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Use this property to specify the encryption algorithm to encrypt the PDF document with.
