Unfortunatly a temporary Postscript file is created locally (on our Web
server) as a result of a Print request. The client then retrieves the
Postscript file to display it. Obviously the data is vunerable during
that period and while it is in transit. It is only as secure as your
average Web form, which is to say, not very much.

You're right, some people might be unconfortable having the data come to
our server at all, so I'll put a message up making it clear that the
system is not bullet-proof. I will be making the Java opcodes/source
available soon, so people can at least run it off their own machines,
where it will be secure.

Well, thank you for pointing this out. I should have at least brought
the point up, since I realize not everyone is clear on the risks
involved with WWW forms.
