Can PDF documents be encrypted?
Yes. JES2xxx supports 40 and 128 bit encryption that is compatible with PDF standards. (Acrobat 4.0 can only support 40 bit encryption) A PDF document can have two passwords, an owner password and a User password. The Owner password controls the actions the recipient can perform with the document, such as printing, annotating, cut and pasting. The User password controls viewing of the document. Because the PDF document is encrypted, it stays encrypted even if the document is forwarded to someone else.
