## 3.26. Permissions

### Overview

If you expect your workflow to create copy protected PDF documents, you should test that. You can see the permissions using Adobe Reader®, but that is a poor “test”:

You can test permissions using the following methods. All methods have one typed parameter with the values `true` or `false`:

    // Testing permissions:
    .toAllowScreenReaders(..)
    .toAssembleDocument(..)
    .toExtractContent(..)
    .toFillInFields(..)
    .toModifyAnnotations(..)
    .toModifyContent(..)
    .toPrintInDegradedQuality(..)
    .toPrintInHighQuality(..)

### Example

    @Test
    public void hasPermission_ScreenReadersAllowed() throws Exception {
      String filename = "documentUnderTest.pdf";
      AssertThat.document(filename)
                .hasPermission()
                .toAllowScreenReaders(true)
      ;
    }

The document permissions of a protected document differ depending on whether the document is opened with the owner password or with the user password.
