I have received a multipage pdf document that has been locked so it
cannot be printed. I would like to be able to print this document so
that I can read it "on the road". Any ideas for by-passing the lock?
You might want to try "pdftk". From the manpage:
Same as above, except printing is allowed (once the PDF is open)
pdftk 1.pdf output 1.128.pdf owner_pw foo user_pw baz allow printing
Regards, Mathias
Mathias - great call thanks! I actually just decrypted the file like so:
pdftk the_document01.pdf input_pw <usrpasswd> output the_document02.pdf
pdftk is a nice little "Swiss army knife" program!! Thanks for the help :)
