Introducing Module Reachability: Focus on the Vulnerabilities That Matter
Module Reachability filters out unreachable CVEs so you can focus on vulnerabilities that actually matter to your application.
A very simple wrapper for qpdf which is a content-preserving transformations on PDF files. It includes encrypting and decrypting PDF with AES 256, AES 128, RC4 (128 & 40) encryption algorithms.
npm install node-qpdf
You can encrypt your PDF by following:
var qpdf = require('node-qpdf');
var options = {
keyLength: 128,
password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD_TO_ENCRYPT'
}
qpdf.encrypt(localFilePath, options);
The following are required options
keyLength:
- a number which defines the encryption algorithm to be used. Values can be 40, 128 and 256 only.password:
- a string containing the secret password which will be further used to unlock the PDF.You might want to set other options for each encryption algorithm inside restrictions:
JSON according to the keyLength
you choose :-
Key Length: 40
Option | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
print: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow printing. |
modify: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow document modification. |
extract: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow text/image extraction. |
annotate: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow comments and form fill-in and signing. |
Key Length: 128
Option | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
print: | 'full' , 'low' , 'none' | full: allow full printing. low: allow low-resolution printing only. none: disallow printing. |
modify: | 'all' , 'annotate' , 'form' , 'assembly' , 'none' | all: allow full document modification. annotate: allow comment authoring and form operations. form: allow form field fill-in and signing. assembly: allow document assembly only. none: allow no modifications. |
extract: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow text/image extraction. |
useAes: | 'y' , 'n' | AES encryption will be used instead of RC4 encryption. |
accessibility: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow accessibility to visually impaired. |
Key Length: 256
Option | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
print: | 'full' , 'low' , 'none' | full: allow full printing. low: allow low-resolution printing only. none: disallow printing. |
modify: | 'all' , 'annotate' , 'form' , 'assembly' , 'none' | all: allow full document modification. annotate: allow comment authoring and form operations. form: allow form field fill-in and signing. assembly: allow document assembly only. none: allow no modifications. |
extract: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow text/image extraction. |
accessibility: | 'y' , 'n' | Determines whether or not to allow accessibility to visually impaired. |
var qpdf = require('node-qpdf');
var options = {
keyLength: 128,
password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD_TO_ENCRYPT',
restrictions: {
print: 'low',
useAes: 'y'
}
}
qpdf.encrypt(localFilePath, options, outputFilePath);
var qpdf = require('node-qpdf');
var options = {
keyLength: 256,
password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD_TO_ENCRYPT',
restrictions: {
modify: 'none',
extract: 'n'
}
}
var doc = qpdf.encrypt(localFilePath, options, outputFilePath);
doc.stdout.pipe(res);
res.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'application/pdf',
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Content-Disposition': 'inline; filename=order.pdf'
});
You can decrypt your PDF by following:
var qpdf = require('node-qpdf');
qpdf.decrypt(localFilePath, 'YOUR_PASSWORD_TO_DECRYPT_PDF');
var qpdf = require('node-qpdf');
qpdf.decrypt(localFilePath, 'YOUR_PASSWORD_TO_DECRYPT_PDF', outputFilePath);
var qpdf = require('node-qpdf');
var doc = qpdf.decrypt(localFilePath, 'YOUR_PASSWORD_TO_DECRYPT_PDF', outputFilePath);
doc.stdout.pipe(res);
res.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'application/pdf',
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Content-Disposition': 'inline; filename=order.pdf'
});
