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
