Brute force attacks, really? Gotta step up your game, my friend. Those PDFs need some serious encryption.

Hmm, I think the issue is that you're using easily guessed passwords. Those won't provide much protection against determined hackers.

I also think PDF passwords can easily be cracked by brute force attacks, which could be another reason for the security hole.

I agree with Honey. Using weak passwords can make it easier for hackers to crack them.
