# Extend permissions to allow the editing of annotations.
encryption_details = aw.saving.PdfEncryptionDetails(user_password='password', owner_password='', permissions=aw.saving.PdfPermissions.MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS | aw.saving.PdfPermissions.DOCUMENT_ASSEMBLY)
# Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
# to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
save_options = aw.saving.PdfSaveOptions()
# Enable encryption via the "EncryptionDetails" property.
save_options.encryption_details = encryption_details
# When we open this document, we will need to provide the password before accessing its contents.
