  This link
  
  https://developer.mescius.com/document-solutions/dot-net-pdf-api/demos/features/document/document-restrictions/code-cs
  
  mentions another code sample “See also the DocumentPermissions sample, which shows how to examine restrictions in a loaded PDF.”
  
  I am unable to locate that sample.
  
  Can you post a link to the code sample for “DocumentPermissions”?
  
  Thanks!

  Hi Robin,

  Apologies for the confusion.

  It seems like the “DocumentPermissions” sample referenced in the documentation is currently not available as a standalone demo. However, the same functionality is already covered through the SecurityHandlers sample.

  We have escalated this matter with the concerned team for further review under the internal tracking ID: DOC-7484. We will update you as we get any further information from their end.

  To examine restrictions in a loaded PDF, you can use the GcPdfDocument.Security.DecryptHandler property, which exposes the security settings and permissions applied.

  Please refer to the attached code sample demonstrating how to retrieve properties such as CopyContent, EditingPermissions, and PrintingPermissions from the loaded document.

  Please let us know if you need any further clarification.

  Kind Regards,
  
  Chirag
