Bruno, we exchanged emails some weeks ago about encryption And you told me to set it writer.setEncryption(PdfWriter.STRENGTH40BITS, null, null, PdfWriter.AllowPrinting); So that user will be able to read it right away in adobe acrobat reader but this will be uneditable. That is right Problem is there is an advanced pdf password recovery software that can decrypt it making it editable. The only way to do this is to set a username and password even at least one character for it not to be able to be decrypted. Then the problem would be that in adobe acrobat reader, it asks for a password so it's not viewable directly anymore. any idea on a workaround for this?
