Re: Indexing secured PDF Documents

Peter,

Looking at the security tab of the document properties from within
Acrobat, reveals:

"All contents of the document are encypted and search engine cannot
access the documents metadata"

There are a number of document restrictions listed:

"Content extraction for accessibility: NOT ALLOWED"

I believe this stuff is a feature of pdf's created with adobes
Creator/PDF Writer tools.
