    public static void CreatePDF(string outputPath)
    {
        // Create a PDF Document
        Document document = new Document();

        // Create a Page and add it to the document
        Page page = new Page();
        document.Pages.Add( page );

        // Create a AES 256 bit security object
        Aes256Security security = new Aes256Security( "owner", "user" );

        // Add the security object to the document
        document.Security = security;

        // Create and display a label as a reference
        string text = "This document has been encrypted with AES 256 bit encryption.";
        page.Elements.Add( new Label( text, 50, 50, 400, 100, Font.Helvetica, 18 ) );

        // Save the PDF
        document.Draw( outputPath );
    }
}

Remarks

AES 256 bit PDF security is compatible with PDF version 1.5 and higher. This class is FIPS compliant when used in applications that targets .NET Framework 3.5 and higher. Setting document’s PDF version to 1.4 or lower will throw an exception during the creation of PDF. Adobe Acrobat Reader version X or higher is needed to open documents encrypted with this class. For more details on AES 256 bit security take a look at the Security topic.
