Thanks everyone for the replys.
I agree with you 100% Steve about the if they can download
and save it, and you care dont about that, then why bother protecting them
in the first place.
That is what I have been trying to get across to the client.
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: password protection for PDF files
If it were that important - think you should consider setting the file
protection inside the pdf itself.
www.digapp.com - TimedOut
http://www.PlanetPDF.com - Arts Security Tool (scriptable ActiveX Obj)
if memory serves
and likely one of the better options www.activePDF.com ' s toolset
There are other way more elaborate certificate/authentication based themes
but..... hey.
I was reading the end of your post and was thinking.... if they can download
and save it, and you care dont about that, then why bother protecting them
in the first place. They can just email them all over the place to each
other elsewise...??
