Sorry I thought was just a one off, it would be no use for large volumes.


Do you not have this avaiable in the print menu in Preview with these documents?

I have also found a link on the Adobe web site that discusses that this facilty is enabled by the creater of the PDF.

If you do a web search there are various claims on how to save a protected PDF, I have'nt a way to test the proceedures. I would want a copy of any forms that I sent off, not sure why they protect them in this way, there must be a reason.
