From: Nick Naym on 16 Feb 2010 23:59 I've downloaded a long book that was broken down into 26 separate chapters, each with many pages, all in PDF format. It's all legal, and easy to view chapter-by-chapter on my Mac. But I can't combine the chapters into a single file, nor print any page -- everything is password protected. I'm aware that there are shareware products for unlocking PDF files. I was wondering if anyone knows of open source software -- or, perhaps, simple techniques -- that can be used to achieve the same results? -- iMac (24", 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 320 GB HDD) � OS X (10.5.8)

Put just two of the shortest chapters up on a server from all the ones you have on your home machine. And we might see what we can do. -- dorayme

What is the title of the book and the source where it was obtained? It would be easier to help if we had access to the same files as you. What app are you using to view the PDF files?
