Ooooh, nifty. Now I just need to be able to read it.

After downloading/installing the ghostscript patch:

    **** The PDF input file uses encryption and cannot be processed.
    **** Please get and install the patch available from
    ****     http://www.ozemail.com.au/~geoffk/pdfencrypt/pdf_sec.ps

ghostview complains thus:
