Hi
I have just received a pdf file that I can't print or copy and paste, is there any way around it?

It sounds like it may be a problem with acrobat not seeing a printer. Check to see if you have this problem with other pdf files. Is your printer setup OK in 'printers'?

I didn't know that was possible. Are you opening the pdf file from within your browser or did you download it first via right click and 'save target as'? A brief search indicated your browser security setting may be a problem if you're opening the file in it.

OK, I did a little more research and found pdf files can have a security setting. FILE--DOCUMENT INFO--SECURITY displays the settings.
I did a google search for "pdf security crack" and got some responses but didn't check them out. That might be your best bet.
