Deprecated Classes

org.apache.pdfbox.encryption.DocumentEncryption
use the new security API instead.

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.PDEncryptionManager
Made deprecated by the new security layer of PDFBox. Use SecurityHandlers instead.

org.apache.pdfbox.encryption.PDFEncryption
use the new security layer instead

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.PDStandardEncryption
Made deprecated by the new security layer of PDFBox. Use SecurityHandlers instead.

Deprecated Fields

org.apache.pdfbox.Overlay.EXT_G_STATE
use the COSName.EXT_G_STATE constant instead

org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSNumber.ONE
Use the COSInteger.ONE constant instead

org.apache.pdfbox.Overlay.PROC_SET
use the COSName.PROC_SET constant instead

org.apache.pdfbox.Overlay.XOBJECT
use the COSName.XOBJECT constant instead

org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSNumber.ZERO
Use the COSInteger.ZERO constant instead

Deprecated Methods

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.clearWillEncryptWhenSaving()
Do not rely on this method anymore. It is the responsability of COSWriter to hold this state.

org.apache.pdfbox.pdfviewer.PageDrawer.colorChanged(boolean)

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.SecurityHandler.encryptData(long, long, InputStream, OutputStream)
While this works fine for RC4 encryption, it will never decrypt AES data You should use encryptData(objectNumber, genNumber, data, output, decrypt) which can do everything. This function is just here for compatibility reasons and will be removed in the future.

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.action.type.PDActionURI.getBase()
use PDURIDictionary.getBase() instead

org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSDictionary.getDictionaryObject(String, String)
use COSDictionary.getDictionaryObject(COSName, COSName) using COSName constants instead

org.apache.pdfbox.util.BitFlagHelper.getFlag(COSDictionary, String, int)
use #getFlag(COSDictionary, COSName, boolean) using COSName constants instead

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.getOwnerPasswordForEncryption()
Do not rely on this method anymore.

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.getPageCount()
Use the getNumberOfPages method instead!

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.getPageFormat(int)
Use the PDPageable adapter class

org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper.getText(COSDocument)

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.getUserPasswordForEncryption()
Do not rely on this method anymore.

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDSignatureField.getValue()
use getSignature() instead

org.apache.pdfbox.util.TextPosition.getWordSpacing()

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.isOwnerPassword(String)

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.isUserPassword(String)

org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSDictionary.keyList()
Use the COSDictionary.entrySet() method instead.

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage.print(Graphics, PageFormat, int)
Use the PDPageable adapter class

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.action.type.PDActionURI.setBase(String)
use PDURIDictionary.setBase(String) instead

org.apache.pdfbox.util.BitFlagHelper.setFlag(COSDictionary, String, int, boolean)
use BitFlagHelper.setFlag(COSDictionary, COSName, int, boolean) using COSName constants instead

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDSignatureField.setValue(String)
use setSignature(PDSignature) instead

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.wasDecryptedWithOwnerPassword()
use getCurrentAccessPermission instead

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.willEncryptWhenSaving()
Do not rely on this method anymore. It is the responsibility of COSWriter to hold this state

org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper.writeText(COSDocument, Writer)

Deprecated Constructors

org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.COSArrayList(Object, COSBase, COSDictionary, String)
