Hi JT,
There is the expectation that if the author requested that a PDF not be
copied, then the PDF is not to be copied. This is done by a password
protecting mechanism when the PDF is saved and exists in the PDF file.
The author of Xpdf makes his position known on subverting this feature:
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/cracking.html
So, although our goal is just, and I don't believe we are "copying" the
PDF against the spirit of this feature, I don't feel I can point out
which lines to delete in the pdftotext.cc file before recompiling it :(.
Maybe others can offer this info, or Google can help. For example :

Simple fix here was to compile a _special_ pdftotext to be used for
SpamAssassin that would allow parsing of these files :).
could you share what you did that was 'special'?
config options? other?
