I have successfully implemented Scott Hoge's password protected members
only page access. Now I need to know how to protect Adobe PDF files so
they can only be read by members that have signed in with a password. I
can, of course, limit access to the links to the PDF files, but the PDF
files themselves are stored in accessible locations. I don't create the
PDF files myself, so I don't know if there is a way to switch this on in
the Adobe converter. Any suggestions?
