Encryption and Decryption of PDFs PDF encryption makes use of RC4 and AES algorithms with different key length. pypdf supports all of them until PDF-2.0, which is the latest PDF standard. pypdf use an extra dependency to do encryption or decryption for AES algorithms. We recommend pyca/cryptography. Alternatively, you can use pycryptodome.
