Sanitario666: Like, does the document author specify that the user can't copy text from the document? Because my EDIT options are all greyed out. Short answer: yes. In the FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY, when an analyst wants to copy text from another firm verbatim and attach his name to it, people (like me! - though they have learned never to ask me to do it.) are asked to print such PDFs as these and then scan them back in. Using the OCR ability on the very same Adobe Acrobat that prevents you from copying text because the original author didn't want to support terrorism in twenty words or less, you can then recognize the scanned in printout and finally copy the text. This isn't considered intellectual property theft, even though someone went the extra checkbox-mile to prevent the copying in the first place, this is Banking. I am quitting my job very, very soon. |
