Well, I can certainly disagree with that. In fact, I disagree with every statement you've just made. First, you can use CFPDF to read from a password-protected PDF into a PDF variable, which you could write to output or to file. Second, I'm not sure what your desired outcome is, in any case. You want it secured? not secured? You might find it useful to describe, as a use case, exactly how you want users to interact with PDFs using your application.
