Re: Medical Records CD

I believe your elsewhere posted characterization of the strength of 
[properly and recently secured?] Adobe 'produced' files to be 
misleading. Consider this page:

http://www.adobe.com/security/pdfs/acrobat_security_wp.pdf

I therefore believe that the latest Adobe Acrobat Professional may 
be used to accomplish what you here inquire about when compared to 
other such products in light of ease-of-use, effectiveness, and 
other relevant factors.
