Hello all,

I've searched the web and can't find an answer to my particular
question, so please bear with me ...

I have an intranet site that I would like to populate with PDF files
that are password protected.  (User or owner password - we haven't
decided yet.)  I would like to have some ASP code in the web pages
open the PDF files by sending them the password, not by having the
user type it in.  (This is our way of protecting the files from being
saved or opened outside of the intranet.)  I've looked at the Adobe
SDK and see that I can't automate Reader to do this.  Is there an
add-on to Adobe Reader that I can use for this?

I also want my purchasing agents to be able to perform batch password
changes on copies of these files as they are sent to vendors.  I would
like to create a VB program that allows the agents to specify the new
password and the directory that the files are located in.  The program
would send the old password to the files, then change the password and
resave them.  Can I do this with an add-on to Reader?  If not, can I
do this with an add-on to Acrobat?

BIG thanks in advance!
Robin
