FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package tc-lib-pdf-encrypt

tc-lib-pdf-encrypt

PDF encryption primitives for password protection and permission control.

If this project is useful to you, please consider supporting development via GitHub Sponsors.

Overview

tc-lib-pdf-encrypt implements core encryption routines used by PDF generation and processing stacks, including password handling and permission flags.

The package encapsulates PDF security mechanics behind a focused API so consuming libraries can apply encryption policies without reimplementing cryptographic details. It is built for interoperability with standard PDF readers and for clear separation between document logic and security concerns.

Security Notice

RC4 modes (0 and 1) are cryptographically broken and deprecated. RC4-40 (mode 0) and RC4-128 (mode 1) are no longer considered secure. Both modes emit an E_USER_DEPRECATED notice at runtime. Use AES-128 (mode 2), AES-256 R5 (mode 3), or AES-256 R6 / PDF 2.0 (mode 4) for all new documents.

Mode	Algorithm	Security
0	RC4-40	Broken — do not use
1	RC4-128	Broken — do not use
2	AES-128	Acceptable for legacy compatibility
3	AES-256 R5 (PDF 1.7 ext.)	Recommended
4	AES-256 R6 (PDF 2.0 / ISO 32000-2)	Recommended (most current)

Features

Encryption

RC4 and AES variants for PDF object/string encryption (modes 0–4; see Security Notice above)
AES-256 R6 (PDF 2.0 / ISO 32000-2, mode 4) support with Algorithm 2.B (ISO 32000-2 §7.6.4.3.4) key derivation
User and owner password workflows
Permission flag handling for document operations
Optional metadata encryption control ($encryptMetadata)
Optional embedded-file stream encryption ($encryptEmbeddedFiles, /EFF dictionary entry)
Public-key (certificate) encryption for multiple recipients

Decryption

Password authentication for all encryption modes (RC4-40, RC4-128, AES-128, AES-256 R5/R6)
Public-key (PKCS#7 / S/MIME) decryption for recipient private keys
Per-object key derivation for AES-128 streams
Round-trip decryptString() companion to encryptString()

Integration

Designed for direct use by PDF writer and reader components
Helpers for PDF date formatting and hex/string transforms
Exception-driven error handling
