Hi Everybody,

Does anybody know whether it is possible to encrypt AUTOMATICALLY in PHP
(at the server side) an Adobe PDF document (also stored at the server
side) by using a public key coming from a certificat of the client that
want to retreive, decrypt (with his private key) and read the PDF
document ?

I would like to distribute PDF document to certified clients for which
they could only read the document on their PC that owns the certificat
(public/private keys) that has been used to encrypt the document at the
server side and allow to decrypt it at the client side.

Many thanks in advance for you help

Steph

Forget it. Most clients don't have certificates, and even if they did,
they could copy the certificate to another machine.

If it were that easy we wouldn't have the problem with piracy (both
software and entertainment) that exists in the world today.

The fact is - once I download your PDF, I can pretty much do as I please
with it. If you don't want others to have it, don't distribute it.
