Dealing with encryption in MigraDoc

Encryption is handled in PDFsharp’s PdfDocument. Therefore, you have to render the final Document before configuring encryption on the resulting PdfDocument:

// Render the document.
var pdfRenderer = new PdfDocumentRenderer { Document = document };
pdfRenderer.RenderDocument();
var pdfDocument = pdfRenderer.PdfDocument;

To configure encryption for pdfDocument now, see PDFsharp encryption page.

// Save the PdfDocument:
pdfRenderer.Save(filename);
