    Description

      I tried to encrypt PDF by user password which contains national characters. Encryption was successful but I can't open it and decrypt it in any PDF browser.

      Due to Cookbook example (https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/cookbook/encryption.html) it could be tested by changing StandardProtectionPolicy instantiation.

      StandardProtectionPolicy spp = new StandardProtectionPolicy("ěšč", "řžý", ap);

      Maybe my usage is wrong... In this case please accept my apology.

      Thank you!
