Anyone using PDF Lab for unlocking PDF files? Saw it on one of the other
groups but I downloaded it and couldn't get it to work.

I didn't know it did unlocking, I thought it was mainly for splitting

It apparently doesn't work on > 10.5 which is a bit of a shame, as it

when that came out).

I think it only doesn't work on Snow Leopard and I am running Leopard. I
did the alterations mentioned below but it still didn't work for me
