PDF encryption is a joke, xpdf/etc will bypass it most trivially. Adobe makes some tools to modify PDF's and then there's also emacs or your text editor of choice.I am not sure we are on the same page here.. but are you telling me that a document that is password protected (for printing/text extraction etc) is not really that secure. Or are you talking about some other encryption. I had performed an intensive search on google to locate ways of bypassing that protection, and found.. well nothing. But if we are on the same page, which tools can I use to read password protected documents. I wasn't able to use xpdf to do the same. Regards, Dhar
