[CODE4LIB] ​Re: Encrypting jpg, png or PDF

Ross and Joe, Thank you both. I'm handling a plethora of matters at the library so I really appreciate all your help and understanding. The documents we're discussing are bank statements. I want to protect them from hackers. I want the person who gets them to be able to open them. He may not
