Simple wrapper package around MPDF's `setProtection` method that allows you to set password on PDF files.

### Version Compatibilities

[](#version-compatibilities)

Laravel PDF ProtectPHP VersionLaravel 7.\*Laravel 8.\*Laravel 9.\*Laravel 10.\*Laravel 11.\*Laravel 12.\*Laravel 13.\*`3.x``>=8.1` - `=7.4` - `=7.4` - `=7.4` - `setOutputFile('pdf/encrypted-123.pdf','local|s3|...')
    ->setPassword("1234")
    ->secure();
```

#### OLD Version 2.x

[](#old-version-2x)

In version 2.x the usage is more common to use and simplified.

```
$inputFile = storage_path('pdf/LetterFormat.pdf');
$outputFile = storage_path('pdf/encrypted-123.pdf');

PDFPasswordProtect::setInputFile($inputFile)
    ->setOutputFile($outputFile)
    ->setPassword("1234")
    ->secure();
```

You can also add the optional method 'setOwnerPassword':

```
...

PDFPasswordProtect::setInputFile($inputFile)
    ...
    ->setOwnerPassword("1234")
    ->secure();
```

Alternative new options are: 'setMode' and 'setFormat'.

> setFormat is default 'auto' and will now detect the document format. Before v2.x it was set to 'A4'.

```
PDFPasswordProtect::setInputFile($inputFile)
...
->setMode("en_GB") //You can set different language values. Default is utf-8
->setFormat("auto|A4|Letter") //You can set a Document format. Default is auto.
->secure();
```

#### Version 1.x

[](#version-1x)

You can also use the old version from v1.x in v2.x, but it is deprecated and will no longer get any updates.

```
PdfPasswordProtect::encrypt(storage_path('pdf/document.pdf'),storage_path('pdf/'.'encrypted-documented.pdf'),'janedoe');
```

Encrypt method in detail

- $inputFile and $outputFile has to be a path like `storage_path("pdf/document.pdf")`

```
PdfPasswordProtect::encrypt($inputFile,$outputFile,$password)
```

The final file will be located in `storage/pdf` as `encrypted-document.pdf`

### Testing

[](#testing)
