A search of CTAN suggests that you can do it already using LaTeX. Find it at: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pdfcrypt.html Here is the original announcement, explaining how to use it: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-August/001483.html Alternatively, there appear to be a bunch of utilities out there to encrypt an existing pdf doc. To use one of these, use the converter stuff to: 1. Define a new format pdfencrypted 2. Define a converter from your favourite flavour of pdf to pdfencrypted. -- Angus
