Dave...
 
"PDF Cracker" sounds like a cool program, so I went on line and  started a 
free download. Before the download was completed, my Norton  security 
program flagged out the "Cracker" .exe as a "Severe Security Risk." As  such, I 
allowed Norton to quarantine and remove the program from my computer.  I'd 
like to have the program available to me, but certainly not at the risk of  
infecting my PC. Dave, can you tell us what site was your source for obtaining  
the "PDF Cracker" program; and, has your security system scanned the 
program for  security risks? 
 
Thanks,
 
Mike Mauro

I have a small program that  I downloaded called "PDF Cracker". It removes
the lock-down password of a  .PDF (Adobe Reader) document. I can then use
Adobe Writer to make book  marks, highlights and annotations throughout the
document. This allows me  to make notes in my "book" and put "tabs" on the
pages. Once unlocked, you  can re-lock the document but allow bookmarks,
highlights and annotations.  My company later distributed their documents
with those features turned  on.



I have unlocked my Corvair Shop Manuals and have made a  bunch of 
annotations
and bookmarks. Many of which came from discussions  here on VV.



I could also, If I wanted to, copy text and  graphics to use it elsewhere.
However, as an author myself (only published  within my company) I respect
copyrights and will not do that.
