Are there any free program that can do this? I found one from Ovis but it isn't free, and it can only do one page at a time...out of a 92 page document it would suck to do that and have to put it all together then.

Can anyone help?

Nevermind, I found a torrent for the program

This can be deleted locked, die a slow death, whichever suits me.

Well now don't I feel silly. Didn't work.

It's not a user level password or something, it was system level or something like that.

So any way to get by this, or do I just have to go through the painful process of taking pictures?

password schemes usually indicate that someone doesn't want you doing what you are doing...

I'll agree to that statement. But never the less it doesn't discourage me.

I may be mistaken, but isn't attempting to circumvent the digital protection of a PDF a violation of our wonderful Digital Millennium Copyright Act?

What happens if you print it and select Save to PDF from the Print screen? Or can you not print a protected PDF?

I can't print this one. I guess when you make a protected PDF you get a whole slew of options of what you can and can't do. This is a trial thing that I can read for a week but after a week...no longer unless I pay.

Damn viagra brochures

OS X didn't used to support these protected things I didn't think, stupid bastards for following rules.
