 * Hey
    I can password protect a pdf from editing using Acrobat.
 * If I sell that (editing) password protected pdf via woo, will your plugin still
   watermark it?
 * Kind Regards
 * Max

 * Thanks for getting in touch with your question. Short answer is no. The plugin
   cannot do its work watermarking without first parsing the PDF. In order to parse
   the PDF it must be unlocked/unencrypted.
 * I hope this helps you!
