I have several PDF documents which have the "no copy" and "no print" restriction bits set. Are there any free tools for removing such restrictions, on Linux?
I tried pdf2ps | ps2pdf
but the size increase is horrible. The originals are fairly large too, so I'd rather use a local tool than a website.
Willing to write any code or are you wanting something out of the box? – Aaron McIver – 2011-12-12T15:08:34.807
Code is okay, although I have a feeling it'll be C, and my C skills are limited to "Hello world". – user1686 – 2011-12-12T15:13:00.197

You could use iText; http://itextpdf.com/itext.php this can be done in Java.

possible duplicate of How to remove security from a PDF file? and/or How to remove a .pdf's document restrictions? also perhaps see: Removing the password from a PDF file
