Ever had a PDF document that you
needed to read, but was protected by a pesky password?
Digital Inspiration has you covered. Now none of us endorse breaking passwords in ways that violate copyrights and so on, DI posits a plausible scenario: "Say one of your former colleague created some critical sales reports in PDF format but he is not working with the company anymore. In his absence, you have no option but to crack the PDF password in order to open, read or print these PDF files." Ah, yes, the good old departed, paranoid colleague. The guide covers how to copy or print PDFs that restrict such activities and how to use password recovery tools to ferret out that password--just hope your colleague used a simple password or it's bound to take awhile.

I have a reason why this would be useful...my company (CBS) in an effort to prove how environmentally friendly we profess to be, has chosen a paperless paystub route. The only way to get a copy of any financial documents is to download (after thrice going through username/password gauntlets)a protected pdf. So I was buying a house a couple years ago and I had to access all of my old paystubs to turn in to the mortgage company. I could not find a soul that knew how to access those pdf's from home so I found a way around it similar to what is in this blog.
