... which is not a good idea as it will make everything slower. Because 
PDFBox makes an internal copy to allow random access.

That code has a memory leak as "ignore" isn't closed

I doubt that. Unless "inFile" is an input stream and not a file, as the 
name would suggest.

|document.isEncrypted() == true|


then it is encrypted and you gave the correct password (which can be the 
empty password!!!).

If it is encrypted and you gave the wrong password then you'll get an
