| schestowitz | > Hi Roy, | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | Hi, good to hear from you again. We mentioned you about a week ago... | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > Good to see your twitter activity yesterday. Anyway, I created an PDF | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > e-book (below) and, had a question that I thought you could help me with | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > : when I save the PDF created in Adobe software (which is password | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > protected against people editing but, not reading ie. reading is allowed | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > without password) on my lap top (which runs on Ubuntu) and then, try and | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > open it and read it, I can't open it even when I put in the password | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > when prompted. | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | Some Free/libre PDF readers cannot deal with this DRM encryption. I think some can. I use Okular myself. | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > It appears that the PDF (possibly ever since it was | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > password protected ) only can be opened after saving if it has been | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > saved into a windows environment and opened using Adboe Acrobat which is | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > not available in Ubuntu. | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | I believe it is actually available for download on Ubuntu as well, but it's proprietary. It was available more than 15 years ago, so I'm pretty sure it's still there. It's spyware through, it spies on the reader of documents. | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > Can you think how I could overcome this problem | Sep 21 03:48 |
| schestowitz | > so, readers who I share the e - book with, who use Ubuntu can also save | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | > the document and then open it and read ? One solution I am considering | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | > is making the e - book using libre office but, am wondering if a) libre | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | > office can make non editable PDFs b) can libre office be used to create | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | > a PDF e book that includes a cover with graphics ? | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | Yes, it can do this. I'm not sure if it's worth assuming that the reader cannot edit anything on the screen regardless, e.g. using OCR. | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | > Thank you ! | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | No problem! | Sep 21 03:49 |
| schestowitz | > Wow, That was fast ! Appreciate it. Enjoying Ubuntu ... | Sep 21 04:19 |
| schestowitz | The more you use it, the more you'll appreciate the freedom it facilitates. And the easier it'll get for you. | Sep 21 04:19 |
| schestowitz | Great stuff! | Sep 21 04:19 |
| schestowitz | > Awesome, cheers ! | Sep 21 04:35 |

| schestowitz | > So, if you consider it ok for publishing, you will most likely have to | Sep 21 09:56 |
| schestowitz | > fix it here and there. Feel free to edit it as you wish in such case. | Sep 21 09:56 |
| schestowitz | Thanks, I am going to look into it now ;-) | Sep 21 09:56 |
| schestowitz | I'm sure it can be published, I'll edit a bit as I go along reading it. | Sep 21 09:56 |
