Printing a password protected PDF file

After iOS 17 upgrade, there is a problem with protected PDF files.

Earlier, when a protected PDF file is opened one can share it to print option. Again a password is required. In this section one can save, instead of printing, the file to file application. Now the saved file is un protected.

After latest upgrade, while trying to print the file, it again asks for the password. At this point there are 2 situations: (1) The system says the password entered is incorrect, or (2) the file saved, after using the feature mentioned in earlier description, is still password protected.

Even I can't actually print it using Canon print application as well.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

We face the same problem. I reported a TSI with a sample project that show the bug :

A local PDF protected for edtion but not for printing is show using PDFKit. When sharing then print, the file is password protected whereas the meta clearly show (using debugger) that its not protected for printing.

The TSI has been reported 30 days ago, but i've got no news...

Even I can't actually print it using Canon print application because the application says that the PDF is print protected.

If some one has a solution, please share.
