PDF encryption settings and enabling comments

Hello, 
I was on the site the other day and noticed that it is possible to configure
the PDF renderer to activate / deactivate PDF security settings. Is there a
complete documentation for how to do this with FOP on the web somewhere. I
am interesting in activating comments in my generated PDF documents. Is this
possible? 

Many Thanks, 
  Scott Speights

PDF Encryption is described on the FOP website here: 
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/pdfencryption.html

You can disable editing of annotations, but you can edit them by 
default. However, I think you need Acrobat Pro for editing annotations. 
Acrobat Reader can't add/amend annotations.

Thanks,

Chris

I set this up a while ago and it is a little brief, but this is how I did 
security (FOP 0.94):


Set up user agent:

        FOUserAgent userAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();

Set up security parms:

        private String ownerPW = "somepw";
        private String userPW = "someotherpw";
        private boolean allowPrint = true;
        private boolean allowCopy = true;
        private boolean allowEdit = true;
        private boolean allowEditA = true;

Add security parms to user agent:

        userAgent.getRendererOptions().put("encryption-params", new 
PDFEncryptionParams((ownerPW.trim().equals("")?null:ownerPW), 
(userPW.trim().equals("")?null:userPW), allowPrint, allowCopy, allowEdit, 
allowEditA));

Create FOP object with user agent:

        Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(outputType,userAgent,out);

Do the rest of your FOP stuff.

That's all I have - hope it helps.
