PDF password cracker...

[Podie]

Anyone got one..?

One of our guys is off long term sick, and the document is protected against printing...

Don't really want to have to re-write the damn thing....

Can you not use the select text button and copy and paste the lot into word?

Sadly not. Acroread won't let you select the text.

OTOH, a Google for "PDF password cracker" yields 3.32 million hits ...

Seems like the only option at the moment... not ideal though.

If someone doe shave a PDF cracker... there may well be beers on offer...

I've just discovered that I can't print the PDFs that I marked 'printing not allowed' with the Adobe Reader, but with GhostView I can print them back to PDF-files which are then allowed to be printed in Adobe Reader Gimme a shout if I can help you, Podie

No problem - you weren't to know.

He's doing OK though - should make a full recovery, but will probably need a stick to walk in the future.

Bodo - sorted, thanks - works a treat (although you need a serious PC to do a large document! )

[Bodo]

Nice one, Podie!

[TheKeyboardDemon]

Doh... with all this whispering how am I supposed to know the answer.

I know a few people who would not consider that a good enough excuse ....

Interstingly I had the same problem yesterday - the PDF access not the poorly colleague.

Not important now - the guy who wrote the doc. can extract what I was going to extract for him - but interesting to know there may be a way around it if it should occur again.
