From: Eric on 29 Sep 2005 00:43 Try this one <http://www.widewaterfilms.com/other/protection_test2.pdf> it has the minimum protection: 40 bit, limit on "copy item" only. Ghostscript still wouldn't re-distill it to another PDF when I tried.

I see that no one commented about the guy who posted the link to the $10 cracking program. Foxit PDF Editor is not a cracking program and will solve the original poster's problem without costing him a penny.

Thanks, I was able to open this one... But I may have to revise my original optimism :) Danged if I could get GhostScript to redistill from a .ps printout of your original. I ended up running it through Acrobat Distiller (and now OT) with far better results. Maybe it's other than GhostScript produced PDFs that I've had success with. I will need to look more closely at my output from now on. <copied&pasted> Reply Jeff Needle Sep 27, 5:00 pm show options On Tue, 27 Sep 2005 09:48:46 -0700, Eric <byte...(a)lanset.com> wrote: >> Sorry to be so dense, but what is VS? >> -- >> -------------------------------------- >> Jeffrey Needle >> jeff.nee...(a)gmail.com > V-FIVE. > He's talking about Adobe Reader Version 5 instead of Version 6.

That post slipped by me, but I cannot see how using Foxit PDF Editor wouldn't cost Jeff Needle a penny. It is clearly not freeware. Surely you're not suggesting that he should break the EULA? ...
