According to this it will read PDF/A (subset of PDF) but they indicate it's intended as a lightweight solution that isn't intended to replace the full Acrobat Reader. |
True, it isn't intended to replace the full Acrobat Reader. What it is intended for is ebook reading. As for encrypted PDF ebooks, Adobe dropped support for that in Reader v8. Digital Editions is intended to be the replacement for that functionallity, along with adding epub support.
I only have one encrypted PDF ebook, so I am not interested in registering my copy of Digital Editions. I don't know if you will have to re-download those PDF ebooks again, or if you can read them as-is. Someone else will have to test that.
