[muglo] Re: PDF Security

Sometimes the simple solution is to open the generated PDF in Acrobat, and 
"save as". This resolves the icon issue and other non-Acrobat generated 
glitches. 

As an aside, there few things more annoying than a password-protected PDF. 
Unless it's a state secret, why bother? One of my clients (a gov't agency) 
invariably provides me with source documents that come with a password code. 
This only leads to a hunt and chase to get the unlocked version and ends up 
costing me time and them money. Although I guess this cumbersome process does 
keep government workers busy. Sort of like when you see five city workers 
standing around a pothole, and only one digging.
