Re: pdf encryption
I believe it was not your post, but rather post #2 that led to the closing of that thread..

That was the concesus of the members of a chat I am in..


That said,

There was a point brought up in a post last year, that said it was a pain to open an (encrypted) pdf file many times, and type in the password.

There are actually softwares that will decrypt the file and save it as a "normal" pdf file, once you DO KNOW the pdf permission password.

This may not be of use to some, but to those who don't want to re-download the new unencrypted files, after kickoff, here is the link to a software that will open it (after the password is known) and resave it automatically as a unencrypted file.

I tried this on the Test File, after typing in the known password (2005DecryptTest) and it worked like a charm.
By the way, more than likely, the FIRST PDF's will be changed frequently, and you may have to re-download a new PDF anyways.
But.. Whatever.
