I have a stack of PDFs (35,000+) and I need to add some security features to them...is there a way of doing this with AppleScript (I have Acrobat 5.0, though I can get 6.0 if I need to). I looked at the dictionary and nothing seemed apparent to control security settings.

There is no way to assign security to PDF files in Acrobat using AppleScript alone. As I understand it, this would pose a security risk. However, you may be able to do it using something like PreFab Player or GUI Scripting.

In the past, I have used "PDF Enhancer" from PDF Sages <http://www.pdfsages.com/enhancer.html> to add security to PDF files. The full version of this program allows you to configure watched folders for processing. While the program itself isn't AppleScriptable, your script can move PDF files into an "In" folder for processing, and then pick them up in an "Out" folder when they're done.
