Hi ! I have a pdf (a patent) which is protected against printing. I can read it with acrobat reader on windows at school, but I can't read it neither with xpdf nor gpdf, because both are asking me passwords. And ghostscript, which seemed to work under windows, does not work on my computer with freebsd. Do someone know how I could read this document ? I cannot really understand why they protect patents against printing by the way. Cheers, Grégory NB : xpdf -v xpdf version 3.00 Copyright 1996-2004 Glyph & Cog, LLC I read there was a patch for version 0.96 but it seems a bit too old ;)
