Does anyone know of a successful and safe workaround that allows you to save a locked PDF file? I can open the file from the website and view it on the screen, or print each page one page at a time as a separate document, but cannot download and save the entire document to HD in Word or PDF format. I would think that if it is viewable on my computer and if each page is printable, that there should be some way to save it or print the entire document. I found a shareware program called Retrieve PDF V1.0001 by eBandwagon that claims to have this capability, but I am leery of downloading unknown software from unknown web sites.
A large number of sites show up on Google that offer the software, but I have never heard of any of them, let alone had any dealings with them. Does anyone know for sure that this program is free of malware? In FireFox, I just hit 'save as' and it mostly works just fine (although I've had some printing issues under linux with certain PDFs created under Win$ - mostly Maryland Government forms. If you're talking about saving the information you entered in an online form, I just do a PrintScreen and save to disk. Sometimes, if you 'save as webpage complete' it will create a directory and your PDF will be burried in a subdirectory If you need to convert a PDF to Word, I think you need the full version of Acrobat, not just the reader, and that may not work with a file that's been locked down. I don't have the full version.
Some people create PDF documents with 'digital rights management' (DRM) turned on, so that they can control what you do with the PDF, including limiting your ability to print it, save a copy of it, or even select the text inside it. One potential way around some of these limitations is to install a software that prints the PDF (if you can) -as another PDF file-, and then save that to your hard drive. One example program is - PrimoPDF , and another is CutePDF. Both of these programs are free, and do their magic by allowing you to print your PDF.as another PDF., and save that to your hard drive.
While I admit it seems a little weird to print a PDF as a PDF, it actually works to get around not being able to save the original PDF to your hard drive. Neither one of these programs had any spyware or adware in them at my last review. If neither of them work for you, the PDF author may have simply locked you out using his DRM capabilities. It's his/her right, by the way, unless you wish to get into a 'fair use' copyright argument, and even the federal government and the appeals courts are fighting this issue re: music, right now.!
