            - Click the "ok" button to save these settings.
            - The document will now encrypt using ICEpdf compatible encryption.

            Encrypting a Document with Distiller
            - Select the "Adobe PDF" printer when printing a document.
            - Once selected press the "Properties..." button to change the "Adobe PDF" printer properties.
            - A new dialog "Adobe PDF Document Properties" will open.
            - Click on the "Edit..." button for the "Default Settings:" property.
            - A new dialog "Standard - Adobe PDF Settings" dialog will open.
            - Change the "Compatibility:" select one menu property to "Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4)" and click on "OK".
            - A prompt to save the settings will appear; name the changed property to "ICEpdf 4.0 Compat.joboptions", click the "Save" button and the dialogs will close.
            - Click "OK" on the "Adobe PDF Document Properties" dialog to close it.
            - Print to the "Adobe PDF" printer with the new encryption options.

            Description

            ICEpdf is unable to open two Adobe 9 Pro encrypted files, one being password encrypted and the other certificate. Here are the results for the two sample files:

            - IP-article-beta-cert.pdf - Running this certificate encrypted file with 3.1.2 and 4.0-beta results in the following error dialog: "This may be the result of an invalid password or missing security provider" and the following exception:

                marking as resolved, as we support AES 128 encryption and can open most acrobat 9 files. However

                Work still needs to be done specifically in these two areas for full encryption support.
