Decrypt PDF File using Owner Password via .NET
Before converting PDF to MHTML, if you want to decrypt your document you can do it by using the API. In order to decrypt the PDF file, you first need to create a Document object and open the PDF using the owner’s password. After that, you need to call Decrypt method of the Document object. Finally, save the updated file using Save method of the Document object.
Document document = new Document("Decrypt.pdf", "password");
// decrypt PDF
document.Decrypt();
// save the decrypted document as doc
document.Save("Decrypt_out.doc");
Create ReadOnly MHTML- File via .NET
In order to protect your MHTML from editing and to prevent other people from editing sensitive and confidential information in your document, you can also set the protection of the document using the API.

It enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. You can set your document to read-only by using the following lines of code.
Document document = new Document("input.doc");
// apply document protection and set protection password
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.ReadOnly, "password");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Mhtml
document.Save("output.mhtml", SaveFormat.Mhtml);

What is PDF File Format?
PDF, or Portable Document Format, is a file format designed for presenting documents in a manner that remains consistent across various software applications, hardware devices, and operating systems. Each PDF file contains a comprehensive description of a fixed-layout document, encompassing text, fonts, graphics, and other necessary information for accurate display. Initially developed by Adobe Systems in the early 1990s, PDF served as a means to share computer documents while preserving text formatting and inline images.
PDF files are typically generated using software like Adobe Acrobat or similar PDF creation tools. Presently, PDF has become an open standard governed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standardization ensures compatibility and interoperability across different platforms and systems. To view PDF files, users can utilize free software such as Adobe Reader or other PDF viewers available.
One of the significant advantages of PDF is its platform independence, allowing seamless viewing and printing on a wide range of devices and operating systems. Regardless of the hardware or software used, the document’s layout and content will remain intact. This universal accessibility has contributed to the popularity of PDF as a preferred format for sharing and distributing documents across diverse platforms and systems.
PDF’s capability to encapsulate a complete document, including text, fonts, graphics, and formatting, makes it a reliable choice for various applications. Whether it’s sharing important reports, publishing e-books, distributing forms, or delivering professional presentations, PDF ensures consistent document rendering and reliable preservation of content across different environments.
What is MHTML File Format?
MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a file format that combines HTML code and its associated resources into a single file. It stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension HTML. MHTML files are commonly used for saving web pages, including all their content such as images, CSS stylesheets, and JavaScript, into a single file.
MHTML files are often created by web browsers when users save web pages for offline viewing or archiving purposes. By bundling all the necessary resources into one file, MHTML ensures that the web page can be viewed and rendered accurately, even without an internet connection or access to the original server.
The MHTML format follows the MIME standard, which is used for encoding and exchanging various types of data over the internet. It uses multipart MIME encoding to package the HTML code and associated resources into a single file. The file typically has a .mht or .mhtml file extension.
MHTML files can be opened and viewed by web browsers that support the format, such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Opera. Some text editors and specialized software also provide the ability to open and edit MHTML files.
The MHTML format offers advantages in terms of portability and convenience, as it allows users to save and share web pages as a single file, ensuring the preservation of the page’s layout, formatting, and linked resources. However, it’s worth noting that MHTML is not as widely used as other web formats like HTML or PDF, and compatibility may vary across different software and platforms.
