    Description

      When applying protection to a PDF the resulting PDF shows weird background colors.

      The following minimal sample program produces the observed behaviour in attached PDF "Zieldatei-mit-Schutz.pdf"

      package protecttest;
      
      // $ java -version
      // openjdk version "1.8.0_181"
      // OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-0ubuntu0.18.04.1-b13)
      // OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)
      
      // compile with
      // javac -cp pdfbox-2.0.11.jar protecttest/PdfProtector.java
      
      // execute with
      // java -cp pdfbox-2.0.11.jar:commons-logging-1.1.3.jar:. protecttest.PdfProtector
      
      
      import java.io.File;
      import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
      import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.AccessPermission;
      import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.StandardProtectionPolicy;
      
      public class PdfProtector {
          public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          // load and save with no protection
          PDDocument d1 = PDDocument.load(new File("Quelldatei.pdf"));
          d1.save(new File("Zieldatei-ohne-Schutz.pdf"));
          d1.close();
          // everything seems fine with the resulting PDF
      
          // load and save with protection
              PDDocument d2 = PDDocument.load(new File("Quelldatei.pdf"));
          AccessPermission ap = new AccessPermission();
          ap.setCanAssembleDocument(false);
          ap.setCanModify(false);
          d2.protect(new StandardProtectionPolicy("foobar","",ap));
          d2.save(new File("Zieldatei-mit-Schutz.pdf"));
          d2.close();
          // resulting file is rendered with odd colors
          }
      }
