So, for those pesky PDFs you get from the library with protections, you have a few options.
Choice A: Convert the PDF to an .EXE. This requires any small freeware utility, and circumvents using Adobe applications. Obviously, you would need an emulator to make it happen on a Mac, but seeing how Linux comes standard with one, this is my personal offline method.
Choice B: Email the PDF to yourself. GMail has a “view as HTML” feature which converts the text into a savable, printable HTML page. Go go, Google magicians! Thanks for making my tech problems comically easy to solve.
Choice C: Use a black hat type program to remove copy protections. These are also freely available online, and a quick search brings up a fistful of them.
