Okay, this has got me stuck, I have a PDF that I'd like to be able to print, but the security crap on it won't allow me to.

anyone know of any easyish ways around this?

I'm gona ask the stupid question, just to get it out of the way.

ctrl+a?

nope, can't copy from it either.

Don't use Adobe (ever, but especially in this instance)

Try Foxit, it's free, isn't bloaty shit like Adobe Acrobat, doesn't take 5 minutes to load, and past versions have allowed me to ignore security on documents.

Aleady tried foxit, didn't work (made the same complaints as adobe reader)

Is the pdf saved to your hdd? If it isn't you might be able to manipulate it with 'Advanced>Enable Usage Right...'.

If it's on your hdd, save it under a different name, try the same as . Or you could try saving it, then previewing it, this used to bypass security measures, doubt it does now, d/l an old reader version, 6 or so and try it!

If it isn't on your hdd and all doesn't work, I'd go with a screen cap program/print screen, to capture it all, shit I know, but I can't think of much else.

Also, I found this security remover thingy. It might be shite/spyware/not do a thing, but it's an option.

i'd skipped over that, but just decided to give it a go...

post to follow in waugh

Ooh, I'm a zergling, did it work ok then? It sounds as though it did from but was it filled with bad computer aids or was it legit?

Unless it's a long file, screen grabs do it?

Bah, shitty thing, damn them for implementing stuff nobody wants.

Still a nippy reader though Fear.

doesn't take a few days to open a file, then shit itself on continuous page mode when you scroll through, adobe sucks teh donkey balls.

Would it be unlockable using the full version of Acrobat? If so send it over to me as I have it on my machine

He's already put the file in the waugh, the dodgy unlocker thing did the job.
