Method: PDF::Reader::AesV3SecurityHandler#decrypt

Defined in:
lib/pdf/reader/aes_v3_security_handler.rb

#decrypt(buf, ref) ⇒ Object

7.6.2 General Encryption Algorithm

Algorithm 1: Encryption of data using the RC4 or AES algorithms

used to decrypt RC4/AES encrypted PDF streams (buf). Input data should be in bytesizes of a multiple of 16, anything else is an error. The first 16 bytes are the initialization vector, so any input of exactly 16 bytes decrypts to an empty string

buf - a string to decrypt ref - a PDF::Reader::Reference for the object to decrypt

: (String, PDF::Reader::Reference) -> String
