So if the official documents are encrypted the same as this one, there's going to be some people that won't be able to easily view them. I'll at least be annoyed since I'll have to click through acrobat 5 times to save each file unencrypted instead of running a batch file through ghostscript.
If it truly is AES instead of RC4, could the RC4 be another part of the hint? Another name for it is ARCFOUR, maybe there are four arcs on the field that we have to race around
