Yes, as I stated, I can set passwords on our proofs. However, it looks as if I didn't take this far enough. I was under an assumption that since I couldn't place that pdf file into any other layout program without it "beeping" at me for a password, that FusionPro wouldn't be able to either. I read in (via data file) this password protected file and processed it through FP and composed an imposed output file. I checked that final file's security settings, and there were none. The password that existed in the document to begin with was turned off.
This kind of answers my own question about being able to use a protected document, but this new situation now leads me to ask: was the original document that FusionPro created truly password-protected?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 10:46 AM To: FusionPro Users Forum Subject: [fusionpro] Security and Passwords Hi, Is their a way for fusionpro to use its password features to allow it to use a "protected" pdf file? We have one customer that is notorious for their agents creating pdf proofs online and then simply downloading them from the proof screen and taking that pdf file to their local print-center to get it printed (i.e. Staples, CopyMax, Kinkos, etc..) We would like to put a password on these pdf creations from FusionPro, but then also to use that same pdf after approved for internal printing. We generally use two templates per job: one to create a pdf proof that the customer sees, then one that takes that same approved pdf file and does a final imposition for our indigo presses. We want to use the exact pdf that the customer sees and not re-create another after the approval. We have been burned a couple of times from a past system glitch that caused FusionPro to not fully re-create some final pdf files in exactly the same manner as the customer approved. We determined to remove any posibility of this happening again by only using that same proof "as the customer sees it". Since WE know the password that WE set (a feature in FusionPro that I can currently use), is their any way to program FusionPro with our password in its logic to allow us to further process and print our own protected files?
