You mean and saving it to another (pdf) file?


Sort of but not quite.

You can programs that enable you to 'print' from a program and produce a
pdf file.

Depending on how they work this may I guess produce a pdf without the
copy protection.

I use Cutepdf for this:

I find it useful for 'saving' copies of webpages, such a receipts etc.
among other things.
