Re^2: Choosing namespace/name for (my first) CPAN module which is a sub-class of a well-known distribution

Is PDF encryption, modern or not, actually widely used

IME, no. I suspect that this is largely because it suffers from the requirement to share the password with those others you wish to be able to read the document. And if you are going to share the password securely, why not just share the document securely? When I do have a need to share a PDF securely with someone I just encrypt it with their PGP public key.

I don't know that there are good reasons to encrypt PDFs, but it does still happen. I once received an encrypted PDF in response to a FOIA request, and once was emailed a medical bill as an encrypted PDF. -- A math joke: r = \| \|csc(θ)\|+\|sec(θ)\| \|-\| \|csc(θ)\|-\|sec(θ)\| \|	[reply]
