FWIW okular is the successor of kpdf that had exactly the same UI, understand that you can (in the configuration dialog) chose to disregard the so called DRM restrictions, but this configuration is disabled by default.

And I've noticed that checkbox in KPDF for several years now. Disabling (unchecking) the "Obey DRM limitations" option is just a few clicks away.

John just happened to notice it recently that is all.

I believe it's Jon, not John. :)

He has an "h", but you are not licensed to view it in the public forums.

Actually no I meant John (Goerzen) the Debian Developper who started the whole thing, not our angry editor :)

Jon's not angry, just grumpy. With every reason to be.
