Please Be Advised That I Have A Pdf File But I Am Not Able To Print This Document.
Actually This Action Is Not Allowed There Is A Key At The Bottom Of File, Which Shows That Is Protected.
Anybody Knows How Can I Print This?
And If This Is Possible

Thanks In Advance

Ask the file creator to give you the password to unlock the PDF file.

I've seen PDF's that can't be opened unless you give a password, but I didn't know there was a feature that password-protected printing as well. I assume that cut-and-paste is like-wise protected.

The contents of the PDF itself are encrypted, so clipping the text using a hex editor won't work either. Very clever.

Is this feature new for Acrobat 6.0, or was it also around in 5.x? I may want to use it myself!

Mostly the print protect is on EBooks that are not supposed to be printed.

i had no idea that e books are not printed.
so i ordered an e-book from tjh computers for A+ exam and is on cd.
i supposed that it will be in pdf format as the sample and all i will have to do is just print.

Several thoughts.

1. Adobe lets the owner select: A. no printing, B. low res printing, C. High res printing. (along with other options).

2. Cracking open what the publisher/owner intended is illegal.

2a. If the publisher/owner was not clear, you should ask for a refund.

3. There are excellent free resources out there. I know because I have personally created some of them. They are not as easy to find as they used to be due to illegal actions of others forcing the work to be more "underground".

That is all have will pubically say on the matter.

feel free not to post this kind of stuff here from now on. There is a reason why this pdf is set up the way it is, and I am quite sure that it is part of the licensing agreement that accompanies the sale of this document.
