one more feature request

[TomasC]

allowing for password protection of the generated PDF would be
extremely useful (at least for me ;-))
thanks

Tomas, you must be working for the government with all these requests
for security features. :)
Password protection has been asked for a couple times, I'll consider
adding it once I get in the major features we've still not finished
yet.

hehe,
in fact i am working on a site for my friend who designs typefaces
(fonts)
as we all know, the rendering of type on screen is not the most
accurate so i want to provide an option to download (dynamically
generated) pdf preview for print purposes
of course that should be reasonably secure so the fonts can't be
easily extracted from the pdf
password, i think, should do (although i know every password can be
cracked etc. ...)

Google "remove PDF encryption" or something similar :-/

Basically, anyone who intends to extract a font from your PDF should
be savvy enough to run a script that scrubs out the encryption. :-/
