Even non-DRM'd pdf's that don't phone home can disable printing altogether, so I doubt they'd leave any sort of save-to-file loophole open in their nasty DRM system. I even tried printing one of the unprintable pdfs in a unix-based 3rd party pdf reader, and wasn't able to do it. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

However there is always a work around.depending on how much work that you wish to do. i.e. you can resize the pdf so you see it by full page and screen capture the desktop paste the file into a image editor, remove the info that you do not require and resize it to something relative to original and just print to your hearts content. However if you wish to work with the information stored in the pdf, simply do the above and run the printed pages through an OCR and grab the txt that you want/need. Repeat as necessary. Lots of work, pain in the rump, but it will work. If that's not what it is that your tring to do, I shall pour through the archives and try to find the start of this thread.
