| Need software advice. What's the deal with printing an... |

...encrypted PDF? Does a password remover program work?
Also wondering how effective Anonymizer and Ghostsurf and open-source proxies are.

| 1. It should be possible to get around then encryption |
|
I haven't looked into it too much, the PDF is an open format that uses security through obscurity to disable such things as printing.
I would look into it more, but I have to go.
I'm willing to bet that some 3rd party PDF viewers override the encryption policy.

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/Of course, this may not help with the encryption at all.

| 3. There are tools to remove passwords |
|
They are not free, though.
A lot depends on the pdf version used; in the worst case taking screenshots might the only way.
