I received a question of how to print a PDF that does not allow you to print it. This worked for me:
- Download and install Ghostscript.
- Download, install and run GSView.
- Open GSView and open the PDF document you can’t print.
- File –> Print like you normally would.

[…] It Duplicates Functionality: One can already disable printing on a regular PDF file if motivated. However, as per the first point, that’s also been broken as well. […]
