encrypted-base

All codes

• Type: error
• Kind: unsupported (valid input that Lamina PDF doesn’t implement)

What happened

A save was requested for an encrypted document without SaveOptions::with_remove_encryption(true) (every mode: Auto, Incremental and FullRewrite). Nothing was written. laminapdf_save::SaveError::EncryptedBase and the writers’ laminapdf_cos::Error::EncryptedBase share this code.

Why

Lamina PDF can’t encrypt on save yet, and it never drops or corrupts encryption silently.

How to fix

Save with SaveOptions::with_remove_encryption(true) to write a plaintext full rewrite (every string and stream decrypted, no /Encrypt), or wait until Lamina PDF can encrypt on save. A signed and encrypted document also needs with_invalidate_signatures(true).

Example

let err = doc.save(&SaveOptions::default()).unwrap_err(); // encrypted-base
let saved = doc.save(&SaveOptions::default().with_remove_encryption(true))?;

Data fields
