If one was going to do something wrong - well then perhaps fear over
using a tool that does nasty stuff to the DRM aspects of pdf is not
really a solution.

Remember folks we are trying to achieve something that is cost
effective.
If the information is really that sensitive then writing it with a ball
point pen on a piece of paper leaning on a glass surface may be more
appropriate, not to mention the wall / floor safe or bank vault.

If you know the value of the information you can make value judgements
about how to store it.
