About a year ago, I wrote about how Gmails View as HTML functionality allowed you to get around secure PDF files print and copy-paste restrictions. Four weeks later, Google released an update (or downgrade, if you will) of its Gmail service, and the loophole was fixed. However, when trying out Scribd todaya site with the noble goal to create the worlds largest open library of documents and even touted by some as the YouTube of documentsit seems that a similar feature/bug is also present in Scribds online document converter. N.B. This only works with PDF files with text extraction and printing usage restrictions, not with PDFs that prompt for a password when you try to open them. http://www.scribd.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------- WWWhatsup NYC http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.isoc-ny.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
