I bought an ebook I needed urgently – got it in pdf but it turns out I’m only able to read it on-screen. Can't even print it. Do they really expect me to read all 300 pages or so on-screen? And finding that out only after I paid for it is a bit of a rip-off, to say the least.
Stunned, I’ve done some search and it turns out that happens a lot.
But I found software (www.copistar.com) to convert the protected pdf into a printable pdf, so one can at least read it properly. And I'm posting this for anyone with the similar experience.

Its illegeal... but if u still wanna take risk... try this trial app:

*www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/PDF/PDFencrypt.shtml

Using this u can remove the restriction set in the original file... but i recommend u to do that.........
