Neither one handle Adobe's "encryption" of PDF. It's silly to use the feature, since the only thing it does is force you to use Adobe viewers (the "encryption" prevents the use of non-Adobe viewers, but does not enhance document security because it does not prevent viewing with an Adobe viewer -- ie: it does not require a password or other user query).
