Unused. This bit was previously to restrict extracting text and graphics for accessibility (e.g. VoiceOver). PDF 2.0 deprecated this option. PSPDFKit ignores this option and does not show this option is the UI (
PDFDocumentSecurityViewController
). You should refrain from disabling this permission in order to improve accessibility in PDF readers that do not yet follow the recommendations of PDF 2.0.Declaration

static var extractAccessibility: DocumentPermissions { get }
-
(Security handlers of revision 3 or greater) Assemble the document (insert, rotate, or delete pages and create document outline items or thumbnail images), even if bit 4 is clear.

Swift
static var assemble: DocumentPermissions { get }

The PDF reference states that this permission may be restricted to only allow printing with degraded quality (if the printing permission is also granted). Since iOS only offers a single printing pipeline, restricting this permission has no effect on PSPDFKit for iOS. If the printing permission is granted then printing may always be high quality.
Declaration
Objective-C
PSPDFDocumentPermissionsPrintHighQuality = 1 << 7
Swift
static var printHighQuality: DocumentPermissions { get }
