DocAssurance Service for encrypting PDF

Hello team,

 

I am trying to utilize the DocAssuranceService to encrypt PDFs. I have created a class using the Sample 1 under the Securing Documents section here:
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-64/forms/use-document-services/aem-document-services-programmatically.html?lang=en#securing-documents

 

Additionally, I have a servlet identical to the below link, which calls the above class in order to retrieve a certified PDF.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/forms/creating-your-first-osgi-bundle/create-servlet.html?lang=en

 

I have put a snippet of the class I have created to use the DocAssurance.

 

 

 

public class PassEncryptCertifyExtend { @3214626 private DocAssuranceService docAssuranceService; @3214626 private SlingRepository slingRepository; @3214626 private ResourceResolverFactory jcrResourceResolverFactory ; /** * * @90521 inputFile - path to the pdf document stored at disk * @90521 outputFile - path to the pdf document where the output needs to be stored * @throws Exception */ Document outDoc; Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("classname"); public Document SecureDocument(Document inDoc) throws Exception{ try { logger.info("***** CALLING ENCRYPTION OPTIONS *****"); outDoc = null; outDoc = docAssuranceService.secureDocument(inDoc, getPassEncryptionOptions(), null, null, null); logger.info("***** EXITING ENCRYPTION OPTIONS *****"); } catch(Exception e) { logger.error(e); } return outDoc; }

 

 

 

 
outDoc = docAssuranceService.secureDocument(inDoc, getPassEncryptionOptions(), null, null, null);

 

This line is providing a nullpointer exception when run. I can verify that the inDoc being passed is without any issues. In addition, thegetPassEncryptionOptions() method is being run successfully. I have tried various options such as just passing inDoc with other parameters as null, passing in with all other parameters, yet all variations return a nullPointer exception. The logger indicating the exit of the docAssuranceService.secureDocument does not run and the code returns back to the servlet. I was wondering if I could receive any guidance in this regard.

 

Error:

public InputStream certifyDocument(com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document documentToCertify, String credentialAlias,
String fieldName) {
this.credentialAlias = credentialAlias;
this.fieldName = fieldName;
ResourceResolver resourceResolver = null;
com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document certifiedDocument = null;

try {

try {
resourceResolver = getResolver.getFormsServiceResolver();


certifiedDocument = docAssuranceService.secureDocument(documentToCertify, null,
getCertificationOptions(resourceResolver), null, null);
log.info("Certified the document");
System.out.println("Certified document");
certifiedDocument.copyToFile(new File("c:\\scrap\\abc.pdf"));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

} finally {


try {
return certifiedDocument.getInputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {

}
return null;

you can get the sample resolver from this link. You will have to deploy the bundle and add the user mapper settings as shown in the document

Are you not able to import the developing with service user bundle in your code?

did you add the bundle to the project?


Yes, thats correct. Even after uploading, starting and adding the bundle, the import is still not resolving.
