Quick Start: Encrypting a PDF document using the web service API

The following C# code example encrypts a PDF document named Loan.pdf with a password value of OpenPassword. The master password is PermissionPassword. The secured PDF document is saved as a PDF file named EncryptLoan.pdf. (See Encrypting PDF Documents with a Password.)

/*

 * Ensure that you create a .NET client assembly that uses 

 * base64 encoding. This is required to populate a BLOB 

 * object with data or retrieve data from a BLOB object.

 * 

 * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle ES using Base64 Encoding" 

 * in Programming with LiveCycle ES
