With the onslaught of ebooks,ezines, online documents and web-backups, Portable Document Format or PDF by Adobe has become the become the preferred modus operandi for thousands of e-publishers. Students these days download pdf versions of their text books from the internet (both legally and il-legally, btw) at a mad frequency. That's why a group of very shrewd software developers introduced the idea of protecting pdf documents so that opportunists and poor lowlifes like you and I are barred from printing or copying the content within pdf files. The otherday I came across a situation like that where I just had to print a page off a pdf file, but the integrated restrictions were preventing me from doing so.
What did I do then?
Why took help from the Big G himself (or herself for my women-lib readers) offcourse. After 5~6 minutes of searching I discovered "Freeware PDF Unlocker" that does just what I was looking for, unlocking pdf files. Just download and install FPU and you'll see two new icons on your desktop. The rest of the process is pretty self explanatory. One would say "PDF unlocker, drop PDF files here", you just have to drag and drop your locked pdf file onto that icon and wait for a few seconds while the black command screen does its job. A new pdf file will be created minus the restrictions on printing,copying or editing. Thats about it.
Tip: FPU can also be used to password protect your pdf files to prevent unauthorized access. But that kinda defeats the whole purpose, doesn't it?
