Actually an advisory dialog (which could be turned off) would make some sense.
("The author of this PDF document didn't mean to allow you $foo, do you want
to continue anyway?  Abort Continue")

Then a) you are aware that there are restrictions on the document, so if
you b) pass it on to people who cannot turn off DRM restrictions (like to
print it for you) you can take additional action to strip DRM.

Kind regards,
