I don't believe you can do 1, and i'm not clear on what you're asking in
2.
I've found Adobe's security stuff to be perfectly adequate. It gives you
the options on what to allow them to do -- separate passwords can be
assigned for viewing and modifying the file, and you can prevent any/all of
the following:
Printing the file
Changing the file
Selecting Text and Graphics
Adding Notes and Form Fields
I have never seen any issues on the web regarding this being insecure, and
use it frequently.
I have also tried to open/modify protected files in Illustrator and other
PDF-native programs, without any luck.
Why re-invent the wheel?

I am wondering if one or more of you can point me in the right direction on
this one.
Our company has intellectual property (legal forms) that is in the form of
a pdf. We want to sell this over the Web but a regular pdf is not secure and
it would allow users to make unlimited copies and have unlimited use. I know
Adobe gives you the ability to assign a password to a PDF so it cannot be
altered but I don't think this will suffice. We need to either:
1. Let the user print the PDF from the browser without displaying it to the
screen (not sure this is feasible)
or
2. Do a server side mail-merge without using Acrobat form fields.
Just looking for a pointer in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any
and all help
