Free Program Removes DRM Controls from PDFs
August 12, 2011
We’ve found a tool that is, perhaps, a bit concerning. Softpedia presents, for free, PDF Drm Removal 1.4.2.0. The developer of the software is listed as Removedrmfromepub.com. The product description reads,
PDF Drm Removal is a professional and reliable application designed to remove DRM protections from PDF files with no quality loss. Just removes the PDF files drm header, no change on the files. Read the PDF on any supported devices!
Interesting and somewhat concerning. We understand there’s controversy over Digital Rights Management controls; some say that they stifle innovation or violate private property rights. Others say the technology unnecessarily locks documents into a format that is bound to become obsolete someday.
However, we necessarily sympathize with publishers and writers, like Stephen E. Arnold, who
rely on PDF security to safeguard documents. How else will they protect their work in the digital age?
