>The release of David Holmgren's material online has stimulated
>discussion on the international pemaculture listserv about hacking
>the PDF print-protection coding to enable the document to be printed
>from David's websit.
>
>As a point of interest (separate to the discussion about ethics and
>copyright on the international listserv) and as a small technical
>point, the desire to print the protected documents available in PDF
>format is that PDF was not intended for screen reading. PDF is
>designed to retain the layout of documents for printing and is now
>used to transfer documents to printers. PDF files are not
>recommended for screen reading as they are more difficult to read.

>Adobe, who devised PDF, published a free, downloadable PDF reader on
>their website and makes it available to computer manufacturers such
>as Apple to include free with their operating system. The full
>program using the PDF coding is called Acrobat... it retails for
>several hundred dollars and enables you to work in the Acrobat
>space, giving you considerably more possibilities with documents.
>
>Abobe also provide a free, downloadable PDF-based e-book reader.
>This makes use of font sharpening technology which renders fonts
>more readable in PDF. It also provides the option of turning off the
>print button on people's computers. To publish PDF e-books, however,
>you must purchase the Adobe authoring software. This could be an
>option for people interested in online book publishing.
