How to get permissions of the file?

Question

Hello!I have a file(s) with some permissions (like in the picture).How I can read these permission(s) for prepending users to upload this file to the server?I used pdfservices-sdk-2.1.0 library for Java.PS: The file with the properties above is already signed, but anyway how I can do it?

If the document is encrypted with a permissions password, you'll see a "permissions" property in the returned JSON. The permissions.permissions properties will tell you what the users can do. Signing and form filling use the same permission bit.

    "permissions": {
        "encryption": {
            "encrypt_attachments_only": false,
            "has_owner_password": true,
            "encrypt_metadata": true,
            "has_user_password": false,
            "bit_length": 256,
            "algorithm": "AES"
        },
        "permissions": {
            "assistive_technology": true,
            "form_filling": true,
            "copying": false,
            "page_extraction": true,
            "document_assembly": false,
            "commenting": true,
            "printing": "low_quality",
            "editing": false
        }
    },
