I don't know, if I understand you correctly. If you just want to read a
DRM pdf, there are various linux tools as suggested. I've had good luck
with kpdf so far, but xpdf and others might work as well. Those tools
actually ignore (or can be configured to ignore) most of the restrictions.

If just the DRM is so 'enhanced' that it won't work with those, there is
also Adobe's acroread. Since it isn't free software, it is not part of
Debian, but a Debian version is available from

   http://debian-multimedia.org

(Thanks to Christian Marillat)

If a pdf is password protected, however, you still require the password.
As mentioned, there are password crackers around, but those might
fail/take a very long time, if the password is long and complex.
