Selling encrypted PDFs online with buyer's email as password?

Posted: 10-15-2008, 01:38 AM
Hi all
I am planning on selling a PDF file online. The content is the same for every buyer, however I'd like to encrypt the PDF with the buyer's email (as password) once he has completed his online transaction.

I know there are a couple of egoods shopping carts out there, but is anyone aware of a solution (a workflow or combination of tools or scripts) that would allow me to do that? Maybe upload an unencrypted version and have the online service encrypt it with the buyer's information before sending him a download link?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

A password encrypted pdf that you provide the password can too easily
have the password protection removed. Trust your customers or invest in DRM.
