Need some Geek help on a PDF with printing restrictions

[riffer]

Have you got a Macintosh?

A little known security issue regarding the MacOsX operating system.

The Colorsync profiling application will open a PDF.

Unfortunately it doesn't read the security DRM in the PDF file.

Open the file, save it again.

Hey presto - no DRM whatsoever.

tee hee.

Funny, I just tried emailing it to my hotmail address to see if it was too big to be sent from work, came back with this (I knew motorcycles could be dirty, but not like this...):

Your email message to "xxxxxx" has been delivered.

However it was identified by our content filtering processes as containing language that may be considered inappropriate for business-like communication. It is possible that the recipient(s) may not have received it if they run similar filtering processes. You may want to confirm with the recipient(s) that they have received the email correctly.

A copy of this email has been redirected to an administration queue which is randomly scanned for inappropriate mail and objectionable material.

Email that fails to comply with corporate policy may result in disciplinary action being taken.

The corporate email policy can be found at http://intranet.xxxxx.co.nz/intranet...,10274,00.html


The content which caused this to happen was List:Reputation Protection Keywords Found the expression "cock" 2 times, at 2 points each, for an expression score of 4 points.
Found the expression "screw" 20 times, at 3 points each, for an expression score of 60 points.
================================================== ===========
Total Message Score: 64 points.

That's really sad. If only businesses focused on the real issues...

That's really sad. If only businesses focused on the real issues...

If I ever discover that any business I have a shareholding in is burning resources scanning emails for the word 'cock', I'm running screaming.

Also, if I ever discover that any such business's R&D staff are wasting valuable company time on a biker forum...

Hang on.

Fuck.

Further explanation? PostScript was developed between Adobe and Apple, if that's what you mean

They supported the apple platform when no-one much else would.

Company like telecum is damned if it does/doesn't.

They'll get slack for blocking emails to mr cockswabler sent by mrs gay sword and they'll get upset, but if they turn it off and some disgruntled employee sends out an email to a customer then the whole country will be up in arms waving their hands above their heads calling for the resignation of whatever puppet runs the show now.

Dear Mr C***Face

Telecom is sick of you ringing up and complaining. You are a whinging cock smoker fagwad and we are sick of your high expectations that our staff know what they are talking about, and actually deliver on promises. You can take your business and stick it up your big fat hairy arse.

Kind regard,
Steve
