You may but I don't know if it will go into the main distribution. Myself
and Bruno had the policy of not accepting encrypted documents to stay out of
piracy troubles. On the other hand, $39 will buy you the elcomsoft cracker
and there are also other Java libraries that decrypt pdfs. The times have
changed and maybe we don't have to be so prude after all. I don't know what
Bruno has to say about this.

Paulo Soares
