PDF Security

Set passwords to allow user make actions with document

 doc.security do |sec|
   sec.owner_password ="testXXX"
   sec.user_password ="testYYY"
   sec.disable :print, :copy
 end

The code above, we are disabling print and content copy. Now disabling everything

doc.security do |sec|
sec.owner_password =“test123”
sec.user_password =“test567”
sec.disable :all
end

When open the document the password will be necessary
