Re: PDF is blocked for printing, etc. OK for acroread (it behaves as expected), but KPDF allows me to print it, even if it is protected! Why?

_should_. But I am not the person who decides. I am not neither the
professor nor the lecturer.

Such technical means are, for me, only interesting when the problem
cannot be fixed in a human way.

Precisely, but I had to deal with the facts: a decision had to be taken,
and when
- you cannot speak to persons because of their `bad faith' (I do not
know how you say this in English, actually, that means that one always
give a distorted point of view about everything on a given subject), and
- you cannot be understood by supervisors, etc.,

you need to act alone, and that is why technical means are sometimes
useful. I do not say that such a situation couldn't be fixed by natural
ways (i.e. speaking, etc.), but I say that when you need to act alone,
and that time is running out, technical means sometimes deserve their
interest.
