Hmm... Have you tried opening any other PDFs with Reader 7.0 to see if this
is the case?
If I find the time, I'll run a few tests *with* encryption, and if necessary
do some further lookup in the PDF Specification to see if I can find
something WRT PDF code that controls this particular document property (esp.
the changes in PDF 1.5 and 1.6)
I'm also thinking... Currently FOP 0.20.5 produces PDF conforming to the 1.3
Specification (Acrobat 4.0) --maybe that version still lacks the necessary
commands to make it 'commentable' by Reader 7.0 (= PDF version 1.6) (? long
shot)

I'll see what I can dig up.

Could be that the binary was still compiled on a machine without JCE present
(Java 1.3 sans JCE), but I can't confirm it myself. Anyone?

BTW: On top of what Patrick already pointed out --problem with bookmarks--
there is also a known problem when using PDF Encryption in combination with
custom fonts, and a problem with the document properties' values --i.e.
author, producer...-- getting messed up.

Heads-up to all those interested:
It still needs to be fully tested, but IIC, the PDF library in FOP's
development version solves --at least some of-- these issues.


Greetz,

Andreas
