Description Christian Persch 2005-05-29 11:42:51 UTC 
There should be a way for the user to override document restrictions, for
example with a gconf key.
Comment 1 Bryan W Clark 2005-07-08 15:22:58 UTC 
Gconf key sure, but I don't want to see any UI for this.  Also, it should
probably be left up to the distro to have this gconf key stuff enabled.
Comment 2 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-07-11 11:36:01 UTC 
Would be nice to have a patch for this...

+	 <long>Allow user override document restrictions, like restriction to
print or copy</long>

"Allow user..." seem redundant, every pref allow user to do something... Also
you miss the dot at the end. What about:

Override document restrictions, like restriction to copy and to print.

Now I'm not sure if we can get this in... GNOME is feature freezed but evince
is not yet a GNOME module (just proposed).

It seem like it's better to wait after freeze...

Should be fixed in CVS. Thanks to all.

Comment 8 Jon Dufresne 2007-09-09 00:04:25 UTC 
Why isn't this on by default? It appears to me that this is an unbreak me option.

PDF is a standard, we just try (and in fact I think we must) to follow the standard. I agree it's very annoying when a document has restrictions though.
