I have received a multipage pdf document that has been locked so it

that I can read it "on the road". Any ideas for by-passing the lock?
In Evince (version 0.8 from experimental, not sure about the unstable
one), run
gconftool --set --type bool /apps/evince/override_restrictions
true
And you should be able to view and print it. I think Xpdf have something
similar, but I'm not sure if it's a compile time option or not.
Thanks to all who have responded so far. I explored the ideas suggested,
and have pretty much tried the range. I don't know if it is because I
have the password for opening the file, but not the permissions to
print. The document itself restricts from copying and printing.
Too bad because its a study of the same field as my own interest and I
spend a lot of time commuting. It would have been a good use of that time.
Anyway, cheers for your help all
