My somewhat less favorite pdf fact is that if you do that, you are still breaking protection, legally speaking.


Seems to be a reasonable analogy with trespass, where you are violating the law when you cross an invisible line. The need for marking the line varies considerably.

And even places with strong roaming rights tend place limits on well marked land.


So what if you open it in a postscript viewer instead of a PDF viewer? Because they are compatible formats except for some edge cases like security flags.


Postscript and PDF are definitely not compatible formats. The drawing model is similar, but the structure and code are completely different.
