In this case, the needs of the user outweigh the restrictive tendencies of the writer of the original format. There are no other formats in Debian (AFAICT) which try to prevent only some documents of that format from being printed. Removal or ignoring the addition of code to support such restrictions is a feature in free software IMHO. All PDF's should be printable by free software.Thanks. I can understand this point of view, but, sometimes, such anti-features can be activated for safety reasons. This is the first time I have to do it, but it was necessary, at least until friday.
Pdf "anti-features" are fake security. Don't trust on them, never. Sjoerd
