AFAIK the DRM in pdf files that prevent you from printing or copying 
text rely on the application to honor the restrictions. So you should 
just be able to download the source of whatever application you are 
using (xpdf, kpdf, evince, pdftk) and comment out the code that checks 
for these restrictions. Assuming ofcourse that you are able to view the 
file using one of these applications.
