I looked at the command line open params for acrobat reader but didn't see any mention of passing a password. I found and old technote from 2000 on the pdfxtra site that said the password protection was not currently supported. Do newer versions of the xtra or any other xtra support pdf passwords?
Alternatively I could encrypt the pdf files themselves on the CD but I'd still have to create unencrypted temp files on the HD. Is there a way to decrypt the data to memory and display it or a way to directly embed the PDF data in the cast? Is there some other solution to protecting the pdf that I am overlooking? The goal here is to prevent the causal user from distributing the unprotected pdfs, not to prevent a determined cracker from getting to it.
