i'm not so sure there.
I wanted to make the file unencrypted but add the protection for editing.
So far the usual suspects like PDF-to-txt and others have failed. Unfortuately my PPC couldn't read the file either because of the encryption.
Bad that...

Making a password prtection for the file to open is out of the question for me. It requires a device that has input and that is not always the case. Also, users would have to use the password to open the file every time, making it far more attractive to simply strip the pasword from the file thus making it "unprotected" again.

I'll have to try Xpdf or something and also try to make the file more compatible.
