There are various tricks of the trade to recreate files that have various reproduction restrictions. I don't have Adobe Reader on the computer, but with Professional I can print a PDF to an "Adobe PDF" printer, which may be what is referred to with the Mac. This prints the document to a new file. Does Adobe sales say that a document created in this manner transfers the security restrictions? I'd be willing to play with one of your documents if you want to send it to me outside the listserv (I have Adobe Acrobat 8 running on Windows XP Pro).
