Hi,

If I understand it properly you would need to add an Encrypt pdf object
that is referenced in the documents trailer dictionary.
The you would need to encrypt all pdf streams using the appropriate
algorithm.
If JCE can handle this then it would be used to encrypt the stream.

Currently we have a few filters for other purposes, this would be
another filter added to the list (I presume it needs to be last in the
list) and implements PDFFilter. The encode method would do the
encryption based on the algorithm and key.

This filter would probably be setup using the configuration.

What would need to be done:
- implement the encrypt pdf object that contains the various dictionary
values
- implement the PDFFilter that does the encryption, using JCE
- organise the configuration for password etc.

I hope that answer your quesations.

Keiron.
