I guess Bill forgot the golden rule: if you want maximum protection, don't use the bare minimum. PDF passwords are like a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound.

I'm not surprised. Sending sensitive info through email and relying on a simple password for protection? What could go wrong, right?

Seriously? PDF passwords can be cracked by brute force tools? That's like leaving the front door open and wondering why someone walked in!

I believe PDF passwords are not considered safe by Sarbanes-Oxley, so it's better to use other encryption methods.

I agree with Flo, that's why I always encrypt the PDF file itself before sending it.

I think PDF passwords can easily be cracked by software brute force tools.
