Re: Protect the document but don't encrypt the content

Thank you, Karin, for your reply. I followed your suggestion and received the following from Lori Kassuba of Adobe / Acrobatusers.
>>> The password security in Acrobat has changed a bit but mainly it’s been associated with the encryption routine. Earlier versions encrypted all the content but later versions allowed you to exclude metadata.
If you’re posting PDFs on the web, and you’d like to have some search engine visibility, then under password security you would select “Encrypt all document contents except metadata (Acrobat 6 and later compatible).
I don’t suppose everyone visiting your site would have Reader 9 (256 AES encryption) so you might want to choose password security for an earlier version – perhaps 7 <<<
