Does anyone know the password for the go play in space .PDF?
I'm trying to order it to be printed off 3rd party, unfortunatly they will not print PDFs that are passworded.

Thanks.
 
Never heard from a password of "go play in space". :blink:
 
make sure you downloaded it completely.
 
Try entering a blank password. or it that doesn't work, open the .pdf with Open Office and re-save it either as a .doc or another .pdf
 
Ok extracted it to the desktop from http://www.migman.com/orbiter/orbiter.htm again, still passworded, trying to use a different printing service, no luck they haven't got all the fonts :hmm:

Tried all it came up with was some crazy letters and numbers, a deciphering fault I think

Try it from here.

Works for me.
I use 7zip and Foxit reader to open the files.
Never heard that there is a password needed. Corrupted unzip software?

Also tried now from
http://www.migman.com/orbiter/orbiter.htm
Works also for me.
Good luck!

No, it's not the zip file that is passworded, i'm talking about the actual .pdf file that is passworded not to open it but to remove the password so I can print it from a 3rd party printing site
 
I just opened the .pdf from both sites with foxit reader.
Also with adobe reader 8.1
I can open both without password.

What you try to do,edit pdf to print only some part?
I think it's protected for editing,but for printing don't think so.
 
Ok, I'm going to attempt to be as tactful as possible here.

Based on the screenshot, it looks like you are trying to change the security on the pdf document to "No Security" and you want someone on this forum to provide you with the password so you can circumvent the protection the author put in place. This is also known as copyright infringement. Asking for help to do such a thing on this forum is a violation of the forum rules. If you want the password that badly, I suggest you contact the authors. Their emails are at the bottom of the readme in the zip file you downloaded from the link TSPenguin gave you. Otherwise, you're barking up the wrong tree.

If that is not the case, I apologize. I'm just basing this assumption on what I see in the screenshot.
 
I found the page in question in Acrobat reader.
It says Printing: Allowed.
So, i sort of fail to see the problem?
 
He's wanting to have someone else print it, and they won't print it because it's locked for editing.

Solution: Find a "3rd party printer" who knows that you don't need the password on a PDF in order to print it...

I'm not printing it at home, I haven't got a lot of ink to print all 181 pages of it! :lol:

It'll really probably be cheaper to do it at home than to have a third party do it, even if you do need to buy more ink. A third party has to recoup their costs, plus make some profit on the deal for it to even be worth their time. You only have to worry about costs.

And in any case, you probably wouldn't need to print off the whole thing, especially not all at once. Just read it through on the computer, then print out a few critical pages for each section of the tutorial.

I don't see how this is copyright infringement. Printing something for personal use when you already legally have a digital copy is fair use, isn't it?

Of course there could be other reasons for circumventing this password, and some of them probably are copyright infringements. But that doesn't mean that circumventing / cracking the protection is a copyright infringement in itself.

PDF is an open standard. There are probably plenty of free PDF viewers (have a look at sourceforge.net for instance). There must be at least one of them which ignores passwords. IIRC, I can view 'Go Play In Space' in the PDF viewer in Linux, so the document probably doesn't use some kind of super-secret DRM.

Once you can open the PDF, you can try to print it. If you have a PDF printer installed, you can redirect print output to another PDF file, which you can then send to your 3rd party printing company.

Edit:
I just tried it, and I can open it in Linux. The document itself explicitly mentions that printing for personal use is permitted.
When all else fails, you can still make screen shots of the PDF, and print these. But you probably don't want to do that for > 180 pages.
