I have a PDF document that is password protected. I want to call this PDF from an HTML file passing the password.
Any idea how to do this?
The idea behind this is to open a protected PDF without the end user knowing the password.
If the PDF is unlocked on the server for the client to read, what will keep the client from saving the unlocked PDF to read later (or accessing the cache to do the same)?
If the PDF is unlocked on the client's end, what will keep the client from finding the password that the server passed to open the file?
The PDF it's self will store the password.
I am aware that there are a lot of programs that can crack this password. And I am aware that someone could just right click on the link and click copy shortcut or view the source to get the password.
I've been asked to try to make this work.
Any ideas?
