Printing PDF with that option turned off

    I have a PDF file that I need to print. However it is set to not allow printing within the document.

    Does anyone know a fast way to bypass this? I know that option is there for a reason but this is a manual I need to print 🙂

    Can't you use the snap shot tool and grab the whole doc and paste in to word the print?
    I have done that for small sections, don't see why it would not work....

    Let me go into a little more detail about the free way... Free way for Windows users is to install cygwin and then ghostscript [which is what we use in the *NIX world for pdf's]


    I have GhostScript in my labs so that is cool 🙂
    I am unsure it will convert as well as copistar. I will get my boss to just buy that 🙂

    Thanks, ephil.
    Duck, it is 400+ pages so way too big to copy.

    I solved it by just un-encrypting the file. I could then print it.

    Thanks.
