pdf encryption

I'd like to get the chance to defend my thread that was closed by a moderator.

In that thread I was discussing the impossibility of cracking the encryption on a pdf and stating that neither FIRST nor Chief Delphi has anything to worry about when it comes to someone cracking the encryption on the pdfs. The thread was merely meant to be educational and to discuss the encryption scheme.

Seriously, you don't need to worry about someone cracking the files (as I pointed out in that thread, it is impossible to crack it with current technology and has never been done before). I'd appreciate it if the thread was reopened and people realized that I am not trying to cheat or to actually crack the files, I merely enjoy discussion and encryption theory.
