as I and Shmuel Wolfson pointed out: The password security is not

I apologize, but your clients require something that cannot be achieved.

changes to the PDF, extracting, printing etc is OK.

Hi all,
some time ago I bought the PDF Password Remover (--
http://www.verypdf.com/app/pdf-password-remover/index.html)for legal
purposes.
The tool simply wipes away the password in a second and costs only 30 $.
So, forget about password security to be any kind of obstacle.

We secure our customer-facing PDFs. Users can Print or View only. We've learned
the hard way with dealers/distributors who pull things out, make
shorter/different versions or change things to suit their personal style. I
know it's easy to crack a PDF password, but from a liability standpoint,
I deliver documentation via PDFs downloaded from our Shrepoint servers.
We don't password them. The SP site is accessible only by permission.
