This kills it.  ok?

There are similar checks to prevent printing for example. You only need
to put "return 1;" in OkToPrint()[1]. It's trivial to change the source
and recompile if you need to.

The reason those checks are in there are simple: You need to implement
these functions to comply to the PDF specs.

I've only needed a patched version of xpdf once to print some crippled
PDF. DRM is stupid, especially when you have the source. But I managed
by not using crippled PDF documents.

[1] I did not check the actual function name.
