Jason Andresen: |=)John S. Dyson: |=)That I've tried, the Linux version runs OK except that it doesn't generate |=)valid postscript. This is unfortunate when dealing with encrypted PDFs as |=)xpdf and ghostscript don't handle encrypted PDFs. |=) |=)Anyone got a little-known FreeBSD solution for printing encrypted PDFs? |=) |I think one of the reasons to encypt the PDFs is to prevent people from |printing them. This is one reason why Adobe is reluctant to give out the |encryption scheme (IMHO). Well, you can print them just fine using the Adobe Acrobat Reader on Solaris, which is what I always end up doing -- waiting until the next work day and printing to PostScript for hardcopy or for keeping around on my FreeBSD (home) box for viewing.
