It politely allows one to perform a 'save as' on a protected pdf and forgets to include the copy protection in the process. Oops. Not that I'm promoting this type of behavior or anything like that. I only know because a birdy told me. Yeah, that's it, a birdy. Kevin Wesley,

If that works then there is no requirement on something else then the Preview.app itself :-) Would printing to PDF still contain the polite request?
