ecieee Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have a protected pdf file that I want to 'split' so that I can upload it here.I'm quite bad with computers (I'm an e-tard) so I don't know how to do this.Is there any program /software that unlocks the protection?

dessskris Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't think there is. you can't even print it, so there is no legal way to split it that I know of. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3athlig3r Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) There are different levels of protection. If it is protected with FileOpen, then well, I've tried cracking it for ~2 hours once with no luck. It's a third-party protection system implemented by Adobe themselves, so I don't think many people can. If it is password protection, you'll need to bruteforce it, which may take hours depending on how complex the password is. If you're able to open the file, I believe you may convert it to an unprotected pdf using software like ABBYY (which is not really made for that purpose, but it can do it).

d3athlig3r Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 How big is it? You can upload it on Megaupload.com and post the link. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CkyBlue Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 You can try downloading software that can do a much more selective print-screen (by cropping). Once you save the print screen as an image, you will be able to upload it haha. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtleR Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 To add to Pickles' point, you can try downloading a screen clipper here.I don't know if you have windows or not, if you do then type in screen clipper onto google to get a Mac version. With screen clipper, you can select only the pages and then save them, but the quality will be reduced. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
