Locked PDF files

[Andrew Mutch]

We just ran into a first - a PDF file locked so that it couldn't be printed.
This PDF was for a class schedule at one of the state universities. I can
understand locking these files to keep them from being changed but no
printing? Is this just someone being overzealous with the security or is this
standard practice for these kinds of documents? Also, does anyone have hints
of how to work around such settings to allow a patron to print that document?

If you want to see the document, go here:

and select the Spring 2005 link.

Thanks!
