Adobe PDF Document Password Support was created by chrome60
I use a security password, also know as a "document password" to prevent sold documents from being easily re-distributed.
The document password is unique to each document and is required to open it.
This is a common security feature used on Adobe PDF documents.
Document Seller does not seem to support the use of document passwords yet it would be an easy fix.
Under Document Management, for each document, just add a field to enter the password.
Then when a user buys a document, they would receive the password for that specific document in the order confirmation email. A new tag called [PASSWORD] would be required.
The admin would then edit the order confirmation message as: The security password for your document is: [PASSWORD]
This is a relatively simple feature.
Thanks!

Interesting 
Does it work to stop redistribution tho?
The PDF can be emailed to anyone with the password just as easily as without one cant it?
This is an ongoing problem for me also.. I havent thought of a working solution yet.

That might happen once or twice, but it prevents mass uncontrolled distribution. I'm sure that's why Adobe implemented this feature into Adobe Acrobat creator. For the most part, yes, it works.

over a year later and no reply on this from the developer? I thought development was ongoing...lol
I'm still unable to use this plugin until this feature is available.
Seems like a simple enough feature to add.

Can we please get some more votes for this feature? you SHOULD be able to distribute password protected PDF's but ironically "Document Seller" currently does not support sending a simple password form field related to that document in the customer's receipt email. That's all it needs to do. 'til then, I'm dead in the water.
