Anyone know how to unlock a PDF file so it will print out for me? I can download and view it but not print. Thanks in advance.

click the top left where it says save a copy, save it to the HD and then open it and try printing it. i've never had a problem printing pdf's

It's on the hard drive and still locked. The print option is greyed out/not highlighted.

When you create a PDF, you can select that you dont want people to print it, and it will block you from doing that, I dont know of a work around. sorry. They dont want you to print it for some reason

Can you save to Image and then print the image?

It's 107 pages so that might take a while. I do see programs that are supposed to remove any restrictions the author has placed on the file. Down side...they cost money. Anyone out there have one of these programs?

Do you by chance have Adobe Illustrator?

Can you attach it here and I'll see what formats I can get it into?

EDIT: Uhh, but you'll have to modify the code to get it to print..

Tried both the PDF to word converter and PDF Crack site. No luck with either. The converter program had an error at 54% the few times I tried it and the site just pops up the same web page you start on each time.
