PDFs are easily broken ... there are multiple tools out there to break the security on them. Now, a combination of HTTPS/SSL type stuff with the PDF would definitely be a good idea. We have something similar for vacation requests, but nothing needs to be printed.

User could select to browse or print thier stubs by selecting from a table who's rows contain the link to the PDF protected file of the wanted pay period. You may want to still notify employees by email so they may log into your web site and retrieve their pay vouchers/checks once they are generated. Christian.
