Well, as a NeXTSTEP user, I'd like to note that Adobe hasn't yet seen a business need to support Acrobat/NS -- creating a market niche that not one, not two, but _four_ products [1] have rushed in to fill. ... and _none_ of them can work with secured PDF. One of the developers intimated that this was because the enncryption techniques were not openly available; that it was only licensable from Adobe. Many of ODF documents on the web, including many with WebLinks, are so encrypted, and inacessible. Is this true?
