Indeed. I can print it to a PostScript file, and I can render that
PostScript with Ghostscript, but when I try:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=- Bit-Bucket-26-\(1A\).ps
... Ghostscript says:
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
... but I have the source code. I wonder what I could do if I were
willing to violate the DMCA? Might it be as simple as editing out
the lock in the .ps?
