The PDF with the code doesn't require any royalty, you simply have to purchase the full-scale Adobe Acrobat. That is a tax-deductible business expense and if you do much business on-line with code-protected pdf files you will quickly amortize the expense.

Is there a simple way one could post one's own sheet music (one's own
compositions) in a sort of "online store" and collect payments from people
online? I have a client who wishes to do this and this client is rather
computer-illiterate. What could one recommend to someone who doesn't know
the least about servers, encryption, store management, etc., but who would
like a simple solution to distributing and selling one's own sheet music
(PDF's)? If it helps, this person lives in Japan.
There are solutions to get PDF protected by a code
This way, your file won't open before you give them the code.
Then, you'll need a payment solution to install on a webpage (paypal for example).
As soon as your payment is received, you can send them the code to open the file.
There are ways to automate the sending of emails so that you don't even have to do the job.
Warning : the PDF protected file takes money and paypal takes money too.
If you're selling just a one page sheet of music, chances are you won't get that much at the end with all the commissions required.
