Merge encrypted pdf file programmatically exception

I have been using the following code to merge encrypted pdf files programmatically.

public void mergeMyFiles(String filesToBeMerged[], String mergedFileLocation, String password) {
    try {
        int pageOffset = 0;
        ArrayList masterBookMarkList = new ArrayList();

        PdfReader reader = null;
        PdfReader.unethicalreading = true;
        for (fileIndex = 0; fileIndex < filesToBeMerged.length; fileIndex++) {
            /**

             */
            reader = new PdfReader(filesToBeMerged[fileIndex], password.getBytes());
            /**

             */
            List bookmarks = SimpleBookmark.getBookmark(reader);
            if (bookmarks != null) {
                if (pageOffset != 0)
                    SimpleBookmark.shiftPageNumbers(bookmarks, pageOffset,
                        null);
                masterBookMarkList.addAll(bookmarks);
                System.out.println("Bookmarks found and storing...");

I started getting this error recently upon trying to create the pdfReader at this line of code:

reader = new PdfReader(filesToBeMerged[fileIndex], password.getBytes());

com.itextpdf.text.exceptions.InvalidPdfException: Unknown encryption type R = 6 at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader.readPdf(PdfReader.java:738) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader.(PdfReader.java:181) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader.(PdfReader.java:219) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader.(PdfReader.java:207) at com.project.mainPageShop.mergeMyFiles(mainPageShop.java:4368) at com.project.mainPageShop$DownloadFileAsync.onPostExecute(mainPageShop.java:11757) at com.project.mainPageShop$DownloadFileAsync.onPostExecute(mainPageShop.java:11628) at android.os.AsyncTask.finish(AsyncTask.java:755) at android.os.AsyncTask.access$900(AsyncTask.java:192) at android.os.AsyncTask$InternalHandler.handleMessage(AsyncTask.java:772) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:107) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:237) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:7814) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:493) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1068)

Kindly note that the password is correct, and same file which use to work using this code, is now raising this exception.

UPDATE:

I have used the following code using com.itextpdf:itext7-core:7.0.2

public void mergePDFFiles(String FILE1, String FILE2, String mergedFileLocation, String password) {
    try {
        PdfReader pdf1 = new PdfReader(FILE1);
        pdf1.setUnethicalReading(true);
        PdfReader pdf2 = new PdfReader(FILE2);
        pdf2.setUnethicalReading(true);
        PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(pdf1, new PdfWriter(mergedFileLocation));
        PdfDocument pdfDocument2 = new PdfDocument(pdf2);

        PdfMerger merger = new PdfMerger(pdfDocument);
        merger.merge(pdfDocument2, 1, pdfDocument2.getNumberOfPages());

        pdfDocument2.close();
        pdfDocument.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

This is the logcat Result:

The error is occurring at the following line:

PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(pdf1, new PdfWriter(mergedFileLocation));
