When loading PDF files, generally you will call GetPDFFileType first to determine if the file provided by the user is valid PDF. After that, it is recommended you call IsEncrypted to check if the file is encrypted and ask the user for a password before loading the file.

For an example, refer to PDFCompatibilityLevel.
