Mathias - great call thanks! I actually just decrypted the file like so:Hi Andy. andy, 10.05.2007 18:46: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 printingRegards, Mathias pdftk the_document01.pdf input_pw <usrpasswd> output the_document02.pdf pdftk is a nice little "Swiss army knife" program!!
