Hi Gordon, Could you send me your output file as an attachment? What is the owner/user password supposed to be? Also, I would use hex <..> or ascii 85 <~..~> string syntax for all of the encrypted strings since they typically contain binary characters, that may eliminate some of acrobat's complaints.

I've included my complete pdf document below. I am using the same first 5 bytes of my user key (happens to be D9 4E 97 BC 49) to encrypt the contents in Object 1 and Object 20. The encrypted strings in Object 1 are ok and 'decrypt' okay when viewing the Document Properties. But on load of the PDF I get the following error messages: 1) There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (117) 2) Non-Hex Character in a hex string. 3) An unrecognized token (some binary characters) was found. Could the "<" characters in the content stream be causing this issue? If so, this is what the encryption routine generates ... do I have to replace special characters? I agree with Jon that this is a very tricky thing to debug. My head hurts. %PDF-1.4 %oooo 1 0 obj << /Author (?IrC1V <EOoIw~~) /CreationDate (?s2ya u~OYY!AAIc,Ai) /Creator ('Al!1Z|E".UfU") /Producer (aaF$,[S?I") /Subject (CAm?o] ~i?Ie}-?-?a?) /Title (2Al!1h?O?^OB?2) >> endobj 4 0 obj << /Type /Encoding /BaseEncoding /WinAnsiEncoding >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Filter /Standard /V 1 /R 2 /O<3680217F91EFBC709FAEE44B5DF18DAB7CFA55259AE71900204530EFDF9B951F> /U<A618B3FFE72BD68B45FA5FFD56DD8B17B914D8AAC8A05262AE69906E89B259CF> /P -4 >> endobj 6 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F1 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Courier >> endobj 7 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F2 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Courier-Oblique >> endobj 8 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F3 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Courier-Bold >> endobj 9 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F4 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Courier-BoldOblique >> endobj 10 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F5 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Helvetica >> endobj 11 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F6 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Helvetica-Oblique >> endobj 12 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F7 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Helvetica-Bold >> endobj 13 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F8 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Helvetica-BoldOblique >> endobj 14 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F9 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Times-Roman >> endobj 15 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F10 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Times-Italic >> endobj 16 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F11 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Times-Bold >> endobj 17 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /Name /F12 /Encoding 4 0 R /BaseFont /Times-BoldItalic >> endobj 18 0 obj << /Font << /F9 14 0 R /F10 15 0 R /F11 16 0 R /F12 17 0 R /F1 6 0 R /F2 7 0 R /F3 8 0 R /F4 9 0 R /F5 10 0 R /F6 11 0 R /F7 12 0 R /F8 13 0 R >> /ProcSet [ /PDF /Text /ImageC ] /XObject << >> >> endobj 19 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 3 0 R /Resources 18 0 R /Contents 20 0 R /Rotate 0 /MediaBox [ 0 0 612 792] /Annots [ ] >> endobj 20 0 obj << /Length 21 0 R >> stream sse]?? o?A?YE; ,?VSp-??T?f0 ]HCyikuNIno!zeaUo?a??>uAlZba{"<RUd'U ukoM DUo>?F< 2endstream endobj 21 0 obj 86 endobj 2 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 3 0 R /Outlines 0 0 R >> endobj 3 0 obj << /Type /Pages /Count 1 /MediaBox [ 0 0 612 792 ] /Kids [ 19 0 R ] >> endobj xref 0 22 0000000000 65535 f 0000000017 00000 n 0000002364 00000 n 0000002436 00000 n 0000000219 00000 n 0000000293 00000 n 0000000496 00000 n 0000000599 00000 n 0000000710 00000 n 0000000818 00000 n 0000000933 00000 n 0000001039 00000 n 0000001153 00000 n 0000001264 00000 n 0000001382 00000 n 0000001490 00000 n 0000001600 00000 n 0000001708 00000 n 0000001822 00000 n 0000002051 00000 n 0000002195 00000 n 0000002342 00000 n trailer << /Size 22 /Root 2 0 R /Info 1 0 R /Encrypt 5 0 R /ID [<2B408896A136C0807EE34C7F0F26BECB><2B408896A136C0807EE34C7F0F26BECB>] >> startxref 2534 %%EOF To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfdev.html To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfdev.html
