I'm not sure that this is so, bingle. I don't think there's a law against just breaking decryption, any more than there is a law against detecting police radar.
If I'm mistaken, however, please enlighten me.
On further consideration, however, I think this must only process encrypted PDFs where you have the password/key to decrypt them in the first place. As I recall, breaking encryption is notoriously time consuming, and I doubt anyone would sell a program that could do it quickly for anything like 40 bucks.. Again, now that I actually
think about it.
Thanks anyway, guys. (sheepish grin)
