Hello Bravismore,
DSpace does not alter the originally uploaded PDF in any way (as that'd
be considered a preservation concern). If you encrypt the PDF in Adobe
Acrobat, it will still be encrypted after uploading to DSpace. So, you
might want to check your encryption settings, or even try to download
the PDF from a different machine (maybe Acrobat is being smart and knows
you already unencrypted the PDF earlier).
Sincerely,
Tim

Dear Dspace'rs
I have been approached by one department that intends to start submitting
content to our repository. However, they would like their PDF's protected from
copying.
We tried using encrypting options in Adobe Acrobat but as soon as the document
is uploaded, people can still open and copy contents.
Is there an indexing process (in Dspace- maybe filter-media) that relaxes the
encryption settings of an uploaded PDF?
We would appreciate any tips on how other institutions are handling PDF access
restrictions.
Regards
