One thing I've found helpful in the past to get around this is to simply take the free and open PDF and generate a copy of it with a password on it. then put it on a USB stick. Then when they go to open it they see its a secured PDF with a password. Then when you're able to provide ths super secret password they simply assume that you have permission from the publisher. :) YMMV but its worked for me in the past. :) Keep in mind a lot of it has to do with your attitude when you enter the store. You've gotta "sell" it through and through.
Reminds me of the days a while back when it was my job to test bank security. Usually banks spent a ton of time working on their perimeter systems before hiring us to find vulnerabilities simply to find that usually their weakest point was their trusting employees! :) But in their industry you either get security or good customer service. It's hard to provide a good balance of both. On Sun, 2008-08-03 at 15:13 +0100, David Woolley (E.L) wrote: > Julian, G4ILO wrote: > > >> > > Is it available in hard copy to purchase?
