[bug-gs] Setting pdf security with setpagedevice

[Russell Lang]

Igor,

I was following up a posting on comp.lang.postscript.  Someone wished 
to set the security from PostScript code, rather than the GS command 
line.  So instead of using:   
  ps2pdf14 -sOwnerPassword#owner -sUserPassword#user -dEncryptionR#3 
   -dKeyLength#128 -dPermissions#-4 in.ps out.pdf
I tried using
  ps2pdf14 in.ps out.ps
where in.ps included at the start
 <<
  /OwnerPassword (owner)
  /UserPassword (user)
  /EncryptionR 3 
  /KeyLength 128
  /Permissions -4
>> setpagedevice

This resulted in a PDF file which had the owner and user password set 
to all NULL characters.  Should it be possible to set the security 
using setpagedevice, or can it only be set from the command line?
