I certainly hope there's not a way to set the password. Setting the owner
password via a script would be a security violation of high order. Even if
someone has to induce the machine's owner to run the script by hand (that
route is what makes the fairly recent PDF file worm work...Windows with
Acrobat (not Reader) only so far).
