Well... If you feel it's justified, you could could use one of the
hard-copy prints that you're allowed and 'print' the document to an
unlocked PDF file using CutePDF, PDFCreator or similar. These 'look'
like regular printers to your PC but generate and save a PDF file
instead of sending the document to a physical printer.
It does work, but it's probably a copyright violation. Most of the law
about intellectual property is nowhere near in tune with the 21st
century, but of course the lawyers will fiercely resist any change.
In many cases, people are practically forced into formally illegal acts
in this context by over-stringent protection, such as having to buy a
$100 document in order to copy a single diagram into an internal company
report.
