I"m not sure if this was on any boards but I want to find out which way is best for Password Security on 100+ Adobe Forms. I want to set the security method to password security (to hide the javascript coding) but I don't wish to have anyone type the same password for 100ish documents if there are changes to be made. Is it possible to script the password for any opened PDFs without typing it 100 times? Or is it possible to create a button that would allow a quick and easy way to remove the security? Or is there a better alternative?

You can set/remove security with batch processing (if you're using the same password). Dimitri has a suggestion on this in her [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=2841]post[/url].

For security reasons this is done as a batch processing not button (the environment needs to be trusted).

Also, there are some plug-ins that can provide this functionality (a quick web search will come up with some).
