Unable to print PDF

Hi guys,

I wasn't quite sure where to post this so I'll put it here :)

My mother bought a cooking ebook, in PDF format and in 7 parts. They came with a password to view which is understandable, but printing is restricted.

My mum doesn't really think taking her laptop in the kitchen is a very practical method of reading it, and so naturally she asked me to try and find a way around this restriction.

I'm clueless, so any help would be appreciated. As I said I have the password to actually open the PDF and it was all legitimately acquired so I don't see the problem in asking a question of this nature.

Thanks in advance.

Err....Skype, there are several ways around that problem but the ethical thing in this would be to contact the book vendor and ask for help. There must be a specific reason why printing is restricted on those books.

Hmmm.....sorta disappointed guys (whs and boohbah), obvoiusly MS copyrights are important but other folks' are not.

With all due respect Bill the situation is genuine, I'm not trying to disguise it :P The cookbook was quite expensive and the author is all the way in Canada (I'm in UK), and ordering a paperback copy of the book would have cost my mother more than the books cost in p&p.

And @ the people suggesting selecting the text and printing it, the print feature within adobe pdf viewer is completely greyed out.

i would ignore the print feature in the pdf reader. open a blank word page, highlight the txt in the pdf, right click it ,copy, then paste into the word doc. then in the word doc go to print and bob ought to be your uncle!

It wont let me copy the text from the PDF

@WHS: that program looked very promising, but it cannot handle password encrypted files. If it had an option to enter the password and then convert it to .doc that would be brilliant but alas it does not
