I wish to make it harder for users to save the pdf files viewed in one of my applicatons using the pdf plug-in.  One idea I had was to give the pdf an open password and have my app tell the pdf reader the password.  This would then mean the pdf document could be viewed in my application but not outside of it without knowing my password. Is this possible? Are there any commands, which I can send along with the pdf name to supply the password to the Reader?
