I’ve been tasked with a problem to solve, and I think I can use any tool to do 
it. LiveCode could be a good choice. Here’s what’s needed:

A PDF is online somewhere. A logged in user asks for it, and the server 
encrypts it before sending over, using some sort of key that was in the query. 
On receiving the data, the client side would have to unencrypted it, and show 
it as the original PDF in a browser.

I feel sure there are some difficulties in there, such as whether Javascript 
can write a file to the user’s hard drive, and then show it in a browser. In 
LiveCode terms, one solution would be to send it as encrypted image data, and 
then set the imagedata of an image to the unencrypted version (if setting 
imagedata is allowed in the HTML5 export from LiveCode).

Do you all see other difficulties, or maybe simple solutions to the problem?
