+ <p>FOP supports encryption of PDF output, thanks to Patrick C. Lankswert.
+ This feature is commonly used to prevent unauthorized viewing, printing, editing, copying text
+ from the document and doing annotations. It is also possible to ask the user for a password in
+ order to view the contents. Note that there already exist third party applications which can
+ decrypt an encrypted PDF without effort and allow the aforementioned operations, therefore the
+ degree of protection is limited. For further information about features and restrictions
+ regarding PDF encryption, look at the documentation coming with Adobe Acrobat or the technical
+ documentation on the Adobe web site.</p>
