Adobe Acrobat 9 security is worse than ever
ElcomSoft, the company that discovered a security weakness in Adobe's eBook software back in 2001, has found vulnerability in another Adobe Product. While Adobe advertises Acrobat 9 as the most secure PDF production tool ever with enhanced 256-bit encryption, ElcomSoft has discovered that the new PDF protection system implemented in Acrobat 9 is even faster to recover than in previous versions. In fact, a hundred times faster. (from NET Security - see online full article for more details: see here )

You misunderstood the original article.
What it said was that BRUTE FORCE CRACKING a PDF file that has been encrypted with the new Acrobat 9 security is faster than older versions. But that the security itself is much improved.
Please correct your article so as not to spread dis-information.
