I noticed that Okular has the option "Obey DRM restrictions" enabled by |
| 21 |
default. I do not know why this was changed. As far as I remember, in |
| 22 |
KPDF, it was a compile-time option that was disabled default, and if it |
| 23 |
was enabled at compile time, it would appear as a normal option (like in |
| 24 |
Okular now), but be disabled by default. Just try to turn it off. |
