Actually, 128 bit is a ver. 5.0 requirement. I'm using this exact setup in my app (iText w/ FOP for encryption), and we are requiring all users to have AcroReader 5.0 for 128 bit encryption. Also, if you encrypt at 128 bit, and then check the encryptions properties of the doc in Reader, you'll see strength 128 and next to it, 5.0 in parenthesis. --
