I have a slightly different use case for the PDF encryption and I was hoping someone might be able to assist before I spend the time to setup a test environment. I am looking to send PDF attachments through the mail gateway, and have just PDF's encrypted - not the message as an encrypted PDF and the attachment as an embedded (nested) PDF. Is this possible? Thanks, --Joel ---
