The following question and answer on StackOverflow show how to generate a PDF that cannot be opened without the appropriate password.
Password protected PDF using C#
I would like to use this framework similarly, but slightly altered to allow my users to "open" the PDF without needing the password, but only allow them to EDIT the PDF if they have the password.
Is that possible with iTextSharp?
if this matters, I am working in C# 4.0 within a WF 4.0 custom activity.
