Doesn't Work for Me at All
Authored by: m5comp on Jun 27, '04 07:48:45AM

I have a protected PDF that I downloaded from the web a few months ago; only printing is enabled. I don't have Acrobat (Reader doesn't support services); opening this document in Preview, selecting text and then selecting Services-->TextEdit-->New Window Containing Selection results in a blank window. The older hint referred to (opening the print dialog box and then choosing "save as file" from the Print-->Output Options dialog) doesn't work, either. The PDF file format option is grayed-out; although the PostScript option is available, the resulting file can't be converted back to PDF format (double-clicking it produces a conversion error).
