Owen - - I use the paid version, because I've got tons of PDFs. - Administering gpg can be a little opaque but there's some good guides out there (cheat sheet here<http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/~lockhart/gpg/gpg-cs.html>; original reference documentation—surprisingly readable—here<http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html> ). - Mac/Win/Linux availability: yes. In all cases you can get GUI clients that sit on top of the command line tool, but to be honest I find the command line gpg easier to use. iPhone/Android: dunno, but I tend to use those as read-only devices. - Once I had my public and secret keys set up I've only ever used "gpg -d" to decode a file and "gpg -e -s" to symmetrically encode it and sign it.
