hey all...

i downloaded a guide in pdf file format.the pdf is protected so i can't print it and use it properly.

i understand why the creator would like to protect his creation from changes..but i don't want to change it, just print it ...but i can't.

is there something i can do ?http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/eek3.gif

what about an automated screen capture & OCR that will be written to word ?


OCR to word is already avilable with office 2003...

now i have to find a good screen capture program..http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/sagrin.gif

think you have missed the point here.

The file is protected, even from printing. Vulcan what you should be doing is asking permission of the author.
